(21/30) Which of these several ways to learn about a student's needs is the most effective?

Self-assessment test

An analysis questionnaire

An aptitude gap test

Your answer is correct!

There are several ways to learn about a learner's needs. A common solution is to take an aptitude gap test before starting the course.

It takes into account the individual needs of the learner, including their expectations and desires, and makes the course more learner-centered and effective. The analysis questionnaire may include different information: the time, which learners are able to devote to studying after work, the way they like and dislike to study, what are their expectations of the course, etc. It is worthwhile for such a questionnaire to be as varied as possible. It can include both closed and open-ended questions. Another interesting approach is to ask how much you agree with the given answers on a scale of e.g. 1-5.
