A Professional Learning Intervention In Education. A Case Study Of Developing Strategies That Will Enhance The Learning Of Slow Learners In Higher Education

Abstract

Slow learners are those children who are very poor at achieving academic qualifications when compared with a normal child in a classroom. This research was set to develop strategies to enhance slow learners’ learning in one of the prominent schools in Labasa, Fiji Islands. The strategies were developed through a professional learning intervention that was carried out in one of the professional development sessions in the school. An action research approach was used to collect the data. At the end of the intervention activity, an administration official was interviewed to get his reflections on the strategies that were going to be used by the teachers to enhance the learning of slow learners. The research carried out was very important for the teachers because they will use the developed strategies from the professional learning intervention to improve the results of the slow learners in their classroom.
