LEARNING AND TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ALL LEARNERS TO
PARTICIPATE?

school building and environment that could make it easier for the learners to come to school

learning – find out from specialists and experts what you can do

outcomes including the level at which you teach the subject to the learners as well as the

3. WHAT ARE BARRIERS TO LEARNING?
- It refers to anything which stands in the way of a learner being able to learn effectively.
- A learner may experience one or more barriers to learning
- It requires support to accommodate him in order to reach his full academic potential
, - Barriers can be present in:
o The learner – when a physical/physiological impairment becomes a disability
o The learning centre – the school
o The system of education
o The broader social, economic and political context (incl the environment)
- Physical and physiological impairments in learners can be id’ed at an early stage and can
be treated by implementing effective methods and processes.
- Barriers on the other hand, can occur at anytime during the learning process if these
learners do not get the necessary support
5. DISCUSS INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC FACTORS THAT CAN CAUSE LEARNERS
TO HAVE LEARNING NEEDS
- Intrinsic factors
o Are usually born with the problem or acquired them later
o These are the learners with physical/physiological impairments
o Are sometimes obvious – blindness and sometimes not so obvious – hard of hearing
o These physical or physiological impairments can occur in different measures – total
loss of hearing or partial loss of hearing
o These impairments may become disabilities if society and the system of education
do not make provision for these learners
- Sensory impairments = one of the person’s senses is affected - visual or aural
- Physical impairments = a person whose external physical appearance or
functioning is affected has a physical impairment.
- Mental or intellectual impairments = refers to persons who are mentally less
capable than the average - they find it more difficult to comprehend and to learn.
- Multiple impairments – Some people have more than 1impairment – they may
for eg have physical & intellectual impairments, or visual &hearing impairments
- Physiological impairments refer to an impairment in the functions of the body -
chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Aids etc
- Developmental problems – refer to learners whose development does not
correspond more or less to that of other learners his age.
