C. Justification of Learner Type Identified in A1 - Learner Group C as Hands-on Learners
Task Instructions: Explain why you identified the learner type in part A1, using two relevant
details from the case study as support.
I have identified Learner Group C as “hands-on learners”. Learner group C consists of
students who are achievement motivated, and excel in work that provides them real-world

people who used to live there and we had to use figurative language in several places…”
3. “Many learners in this group mention liking classes where a variety of instructional
approaches are used, especially those that relate to their lived experiences”
