T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
another program of study. They are usually in their late teens or early 20s. The learner who has been out of
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
school for many years and the learner who has children and grandchildren would be identified as a
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
returning adult learner. The learner who knows the routine of education does not provide sufficient
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
information for classification.

Informal learning experiences are those that take place outside a formal educational setting. A person who
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
Tcares for a disabled family member would gain knowledge and skill in providing personal care. An education
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
Tcourse, academic program, and credited classes all take place in a formal educational setting.

T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
a. “I get sick from smelling bad odors.”
T T T T T T

c. “I don’t think the instructor likes me.”
T T T T T T

T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
expectation that the individual will succeed. All other options are examples of negative
T T thinking that
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
create expectations for problems and failure.

7. When a class of nursing students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern shared by
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
most learners is generally the fear of
T T T T T T T
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems. T
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS: C T
Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or setbacks the learner
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid of succeeding. Uncertainty about
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
economic issues is common among students but is not as universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
rarely a concern; if present, it is usually superseded by fear of failure.

The First Amendment provides for freedom of expression as long as what is expressed does not disrupt
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
class or infringe on the rights of peers. The remaining options are topics that are not addressed by this
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
amendment.
