Which is NOT a way to gain a learner’s attention?
- A.
Variability
- B.
Perceptual Arousal

Consistency
Correct Answer
D. ConsistencyExplanation
Consistency is not a way to gain a learner's attention because it refers to maintaining a stable and predictable learning environment. While consistency is important for effective learning, it does not actively engage or grab the learner's attention. Variability, perceptual arousal, and inquiry arousal, on the other hand, are all strategies that can be used to capture a learner's attention by introducing novelty, stimulating the senses, and encouraging curiosity and active participation.Rate this question:

In the beginning of the lesson on animals, Bernadette's attention was caught by the teacher giving interesting facts about animals. Bernadette has three pets and dreams to be a Veterinarian someday so she was able to relate this lesson to her own personal experiences. She realized she knew more about the topic of animals then she thought. Even though she is interested in the topic, she is very unsure if she is doing her project right because the teacher was not giving enough feedback for her to achieve success. What part of the ARCS model did the teacher miss?
- A.
Attention
- B.
Relevance
- C.
Confidence
- D.
Satisfaction
Correct Answer
C. ConfidenceExplanation
The teacher missed the Confidence component of the ARCS model. This is evident from the fact that Bernadette is unsure if she is doing her project right because the teacher is not providing enough feedback. Confidence is important for learners to feel assured in their abilities and to believe that they can successfully complete the task at hand. By not providing enough feedback, the teacher is not fostering a sense of confidence in Bernadette, which could hinder her progress and motivation.Rate this question:

Therefore, motivation is considered the primary factor in successfully completing training in distance learning.Rate this question:
