• STUDENTS PRIOR COGNITIVE ABILITY - the ability of the student to build on what they have learnt before


• INSTRUCTIONAL QUALITY - teaching ability and quality of the teacher


• DIRECT INSTRUCTION - clear and precise instructions from the teacher


• ACCELERATION - making sure that the students are working to the best of their ability


• RE-MEDITATION / FEEDBACK - going back over what has been learnt


• STUDENTS DISPOSITION TO LEARN - the students desire and attitude towards learning


• THE CLASS ENVIRONMENT - how the class is presented


• CHALLENGE OF GOALS - how challenging and interesting the class activities
