The term ‘learning dispositions’ refers to a range of characteristics or attributes that students can draw upon and apply when engaging in their learning.

The application of these dispositions at various times throughout the learning process can have significant effects on student learning outcomes.

Learning dispositions can be promoted and applied across all areas of school life, thus helping students to develop a deeper understanding of how they can become the best possible learner.

This worksheet encourages students to:

• write their own definition for a range of learning dispositions
• create a symbol to reflect each disposition
• provide an example of when they displayed each disposition in their learning.

The learning dispositions include:

• Motivation
• Respect
• Resilience
• Reflection
• Collaboration
• Persistence
