Choose a Learner Archetype

High self-efficacy, specific misconceptions, argues when corrected, needs to be shown rather than told

High engagement, low prior knowledge, asks lots of questions, may over-rely on the tutor

Low help-seeking, moderate knowledge with specific gaps, needs to be drawn out, shuts down if pushed too hard

Task-completing orientation, wants the answer not the understanding, impatient with exploration

Has the prerequisites, isn't trying, terse responses, may test boundaries

Moderate knowledge, low self-efficacy, asks for reassurance, catastrophizes errors

Solid conceptual understanding, language barrier creates false signals of confusion
