“Learning depends not upon the personality or methodology but rather on the student’s attitude to his or her own learning”. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is said that learning is only affected by how willing the

student

is, not by the characteristics of their

teachers

. In my opinion, I fully agree with

this

idea as individuals need to be responsible for their education,

however

,

teachers

can influence how a

student

learns as well.

less progress in learning to be made, per a recent study conducted by the University of Central Florida. The study

found that those with a positive view on learning after counselling break their self-restrictions before experiencing significant improvements in their academic performances. In conclusion,
