Description
CSP4801 Assignment 6 2024 | Due 22 October 2024. Your principal is worried that there are too many learners who do not perform well.
Teacher at the school indicate that lower and under-achieving learners exhibit the following characteristics:
• Some learners work slowly and struggle to complete their tasks on time.
• Some learners show a lack of interest in their schoolwork.
• Some learners do not understand most of the topics they are being taught.
The school principal has consulted you because you are an honours student at a university, and he seeks your input on how to address these issues. You are asked to prepare a document with practical solutions for the teachers.
Your task:
Clearly explain each of the three problems (slow working, lack of interest, and difficulty understanding topics) based on what you observe in the learners and the school context.
Consult your prescribed textbook and other relevant academic resources to explore how educational psychology can help address these issues. Use theories and concepts (such as motivation, learning styles, cognitive development, etc.) to provide solutions.
Propose practical strategies for each problem that teachers can implement in the classroom. Ensure the solutions are realistic and relevant to the specific context of your school (e.g., available resources, class sizes, teaching environment, community, teacher knowledge). Structure your document as follows:
Introduction: Briefly introduce the three main challenges faced by lower and under-achieving learners.
Problem Analysis: Explain each problem in detail, referring to specific learner behaviours and their impact on learning.
Application of Educational Psychology: Discuss how theories and concepts from educational psychology can help teachers understand and address these challenges.
Proposed Solutions: Offer practical, context-specific strategies for teachers to implement in their classrooms.
Make sure to write in a professional and accessible tone, so the document is useful for teachers and school management.
