Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of personality (openness to experience, emotional stability and self esteem) on the selection of learning activities. We ran six focus groups. The research findings showed a clear impact of these personality traits on the selection of the next learning activity. Personality influenced the selection of both the type and quantity of required prior knowledge and the type and quantity of knowledge taught. Personality also influenced the other learner and learning activity characteristics that should be considered.
