Normalize one learner-assigned goal weight against a supplied compatible positive priority total.

Description

Calculate a supplied learning-goal priority share.

Adult-learning records distinguish self ratings, comparison criteria, acknowledgments, feedback states and recognized credits. Closing a feedback item can mean completion or decline, while a reported rating gap does not establish competence. Supplied priorities and evidence references need the broader learning context.

Calculate a supplied learning-goal priority share.

When to use this tool

Use Learner Goal Priority Share when you already have goalPriorityWeight, totalPriorityWeight and need to calculate a supplied learning-goal priority share.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter goalPriorityWeight, totalPriorityWeight. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read priorityShare. Use the output convention below.

Require totalPriorityWeight>0 and goalPriorityWeight within [0,total]; divide goal by total.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Weights are supplied. This does not infer priorities, evaluate learning needs or ensure all goal weights sum to the stated total.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review the complete goals, criteria, learner preferences, evidence and recognition policy. Use an appropriate educational assessment for learning decisions; local labels, time gaps and supplied credit balances do not establish outcomes or informed agreement.
