A learning barrier is any obstacle that prevents students from engaging in the lesson or acquiring knowledge (Carroll et al., 2018). In the video “Clarifying Misconceptions About Photosynthesis and Respiration,” one example of a learning barrier can be seen when students have difficulty following along with the lecture. This may result from not having a sufficient understanding of relevant scientific language or simply being overwhelmed by the amount of information presented.(Chi et al., 2009)

The instructor has addressed this issue by providing numerous visuals which help break up large amounts of text and keep students engaged. They have also used graphic organizers to organize information into more manageable chunks which allow them to better comprehend complex topics(Friedman & Goodson , 2013). Additionally, they have created opportunities for reflection through questions which prompt deeper thought about material discussed(Daisey et al., 2015) .

Overall, this demonstrates how teachers can help mitigate learning barriers within a classroom setting. By providing appropriate visual support and creating an atmosphere that encourages dialogue teachers are able to promote deeper levels of understanding as well as building confidence.(Couture ,2016)
