As learners Golds are more interested in the facts rather than ideas.
They want the details. They prefer that the teacher just tell them what
they need to know. Having to do research and find out on their own can
leave Golds feeling that they might miss out on something that the teacher
expects them to know. They like learning in groups but expect the group
to conform so that the task is completed. The majority of elementary teachers
are Golds and they get along well with their Gold charges that follow the
rules.
