1.-Motivation
2.-attitude
3.-previous exposure
4.-personality
5.-aptitude
6.-learning style
These are the factors that I consider important in causing mixed abilities
In my opinion the importance of motivation is the first in the list because the motivation is the motor that moves our students in the class, in a team, in the homeworks, it is an internal impulse that brings us to complete action.
En the second is the attitude because is the way that you feel or think about something.
When the students have a real attitude problem,they show behaves in a way that makes or they have difficult for other people to have a relationship with them in the work,it ´s a real problem when they work in teams.
4. Mixed ability is usually considered to be a problem. But is it? Could there be some advantages to having students of different levels and abilities in the same class?
In my opinion Classes have to have mixed -abilities, Students can learn from others, because the students are mixing with a diverse group of mixed, the students learn more in mixed-ability classes, in the class there are different levels of intelectual abilities.
