The term "instructional needs" refers to the specific requirements, goals or objectives that a learner, teacher or educational institution may have in order to facilitate effective learning and teaching. These needs can vary depending on factors such as age, ability level, subject matter, curriculum, teaching methods, assessment strategies, resources available, and individual learning styles. Identifying and addressing instructional needs is an important step in designing and implementing educational programs that are tailored to the unique needs of each learner or group of learners.
