and self-regulated learners because relevance can help students realize how useful all
knowledge can be. Similarly, as a speaker, as a person, as a learner, and as a businessman,
the information provided should be sufficient, reliable, valid and accurate. In this way, the
listeners and receivers of the message would believe the information given which may
intellectually direct his or her actions and decisions
