This document discusses factors that influence learning, including socioeconomic status (SES), motivation, and readiness. It describes how SES is measured and its effect on achievement. Strategies for intervention are proposed, such as tutoring programs and parent workshops. The concept of self-fulfilling prophecy and its impact on self-concept, esteem, and regulation are introduced. Motivation is defined as arousing interest to satisfy needs through intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Readiness is described as the state that allows profitable learning through past experiences and developmental factors.
