INC3701 Assignment 6 Semester 2 2025 - Due 29 September 2025 Task 1 (20) Critically analyse the teacher's question in the image: "Are my learners struggling to learn or am I struggling to teach?" In your response, discuss the potential factors contributing to learners' struggles and how teachers' practices and attitudes might influence the learning process. Provide examples to support your answer. 1. What the question exposes The question is not either/or. Learners may indeed face barriers and at the same time, teachers may be using plans or methods that are misaligned with learner needs. The implication is a professional duty to diagnose and adapt to change goals, strategies, materials, interactions and assessments until more learners succeed (Dick & Carey, 1996:5–7). The reflective tone of the cartoon (colleagues in a staffroom) also signals that such diagnosis is a collaborative responsibility, not a private fault-finding exercise.
