The daignostic assessment practices used to diagnose Tim's barriers to learning

Diagnostic assessment practices:

In the diagnostic phase of the LMP the learning manager investigates and analyses the students deficit in terms of the learning outcomes ( Lynch & Knight, 2010). The learning manager measures a students learning barriers based on understandings of learning , the learning systems and various disabilities that may impact on the students learning. The learning manager engages with medical professionals and educational specialists to diagnose an intervention plan for the student.

The diagnostic assessment practices

Identifying the barriers to learning by assessing:

1. The design elements of the learning and how they may impact on the profile of the learner.

2. The delivery of the learning, the learning managers performance and how this may impact on the learning style of the learner.

3. The capabilities and functioning of the learner

Evaluation

In using the complex reasoning process of problem solving to solve the problem of a student not achieving the learning outcomes of the school curriculum, it became apparent that other complex reasoning processes identified by Marzano and Pickering (2oo6), for using knowledge meaningfully, could have been used to analyse the system of the learning design process using the complex reasoning graphic organiser of system analysis and the processes of the EAP investigated more thoroughly through the steps of investigation. I reflect that in all processes of learning there would usually involves the processes of problem solving, investigation and system analysis at the very least.
