Answers
Answer:
The needs of a learner represent the gap between what the learner wants to get out of the learning experience and his or her current state of knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm (Noessel, 2003). Table 1 identifies potential learning needs in four different domains: cognitive, social, affective, and psychomotor.

Designing Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment, and Professional Development
The previous chapter describes seven principles that support learning with understanding. This chapter explores the implications of those principles for the intentional and systemic design of four key elements of the educational system—curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development—to promote learning with understanding within the context of advanced study. It is critical to recognize that programs for advanced study share many of the objectives of other programs in the same discipline; these design principles, therefore, also apply to the design and development of mathematics and science courses at all levels.
While each of the four key elements is addressed separately here, in practice they work together synergistically and need to be aligned in mutually supportive ways. Without such alignment and interdependence, deep conceptual understanding is more difficult to achieve. For example, if teachers focus on teaching “big ideas” but the related assessments measure students’ knowledge of discrete facts, it is impossible to know the extent to which students genuinely understand core concepts. The systemic and dynamic relationship among the four elements also means that changes in one element affect and require changes in the others.
In addition, it is essential to recognize the critical role of the learning environment in fostering learning with understanding. The learning environment of the school and the classroom in which these components of educational programs interact affects the degree to which teachers can integrate curriculum, instruction, and assessment to promote learning with understanding (National Research Council [NRC], 2000b).
