The document presents a problem statement and hypothesis about factors that influence a child's learning ability. The problem statement explores how four interlinked aspects - the fulfillment of needs, the micro- and meso- environment, social-emotional learning processes, and how a child processes information - influence learning. The hypothesis then proposes that a lack of parental care can negatively impact a child's desire to learn, poor relationships at home and school can influence academic performance, socioeconomic status shapes expectations, and deficiencies in social-emotional skills and divided attention can hinder school achievement.

1. Problem Statement
 To investigate how these 4 interlinked
aspects would influence the learning ability
of a child.
1. The fulfillment of needs
2. The micro- and meso- environment
3. The social-emotional learning processes
4. How a child processes information

2. Hypothesis
 Needs
 Parents’ lack of personal care to a child’s sense of belonging, safety and
self-esteem affects his desire to learn.
 Microenvironment
 A child’s relationship with his microenvironment
(parents/classmates/teachers) affects his propensity to learn in school.
 A child’s socio-economic status (SES) influences parents’ expectations
on the child.
 A teacher’s expectations and impressions of a child affects his
performance in school
 Social and Emotional Learning
 A child’s deficiencies in social-emotional competencies adversely affect
his performance in school
 Information Processing
 A child’s attention can be divided when faced with emotional issues.
 Inherent abilities such as Cognitive resources play a part in learning
abilities
