Which element is included in the student profile?

• A. Characteristics and background
• B. Emotional state
• C. Beliefs, attitude and values
• D. Physical conditioning and health

Answer: (C)

Understanding a student profile means focusing on the attitudes, motivations, and dispositions that drive how a student participates and learns in activities. Beliefs, attitude and values shape why a student engages, how they respond to feedback, how they cooperate with teammates, and how they approach rules and safety. These enduring perspectives influence daily choices in class or on the field far more consistently than one-time states or descriptive traits.

While characteristics and background tell you who the student is, and emotional state can vary from moment to moment, and physical conditioning concerns capability, the profile emphasizes the beliefs, attitude, and values that steer participation and learning. That’s why this element is included in the student profile.
