Question
Learners are MOST likely to learn a skill successfully when a topic is presented:
- A. In a cluster with other, similar skills
- B. Just in time for the learner to apply it Correct
- C. As part of a summary of related skills
- D. As part of a review session prior to an examination
Explanation
Skills presented just in time, right before learners need to apply them, are learned best because learners see the relevance and can practise immediately, which aids retention and transfer. Clustering similar skills (A) can cause confusion between them, and summaries (C) or exam review sessions (D) reinforce but do not build the skill in the first place.
