The document discusses the differences among learners, likening them to mobile phones with varying capabilities in terms of performance, interests, and learning styles. It highlights the characteristics of gifted learners in mathematics and slow learners, detailing methods for identification and approaches for enrichment and support. To cater to different learner needs, the document emphasizes the importance of tailored teaching strategies, teacher observation, and creating engaging learning environments.
Learners with diverse needs (Gifted and slow learners)
- 1. Do we all use Same mobile? Say your answer in the link given below
- 2. We(learners) are also different like mobiles We have different RAM (some are good at application) ,ROM(Some are good at Reading ), We have processor difference(some processes with high speed) and charging capacity is different(some have interest and patience for just few minutes or hours), Performance is also different (some perform good at sports some at Art e.t.c…,) We have no much difference with mobiles
- 3. As teachers we have to concentrate on what that mobile/learner can do and make them/that utilize it for the maximum extent. When we say the maximum extent we have learners with maximum/outstanding performance & with minimum and out-standing performance (standing out of class) In this presentation we will be looking into theses two groups
- 5. “A person showing consistent extraordinary achievement in a productive field is a genius/Gifted ~Having Hersit Usually giftedness is not meant in one particular field there are different giftedness like musically gifted, athelitic giftedness, Mathematicall giftedness, ….., sometimes there can be multiple giftedness also(in multiple fields at a time)
- 6. ★ Solves problems easily ★ Performs computations easily and accurately ★ Avoids extensive calculation ★ Works a long time on challenging problems ★ Works easily with technology ★ Has the ability to translate unfamiliar abstraction into familiar ★ Intuitively solves difficult problems ★ Computes answers in non-traditional manner ★ Ex: Srinivas Ramanujan, Gauss and many others are there ★ Openmindness Characteristics
- 7. ★ Frequently impatient with drill and details that he thinks are not important. ★ May be reading mathematics books years ahead of his age. ★ Recognizes patterns readily and enjoys speculating on generalization. ★ Prefers to think on higher levels of abstraction. ★ Classifies particular cases as special cases of more general situations with relative case. ★ Follows a long chain of reasoning, frequently anticipating and contributing. ★ Frequently asks profound questions Special
- 8. Identification Likes to work at abstract levels and doesnot like simple work Intelligent questions in Class Alert and actively participates in teaching learning process Quick in Making the mathematical things Achievements are remarkable Picks up things rapidly and eaisly Good power of imagination, thinking and reasoining Able to solve higher standard problems
- 9. WHOA! “We can judge boiling of rice with a single grain but not the behaviour and personality”
- 10. Points to be noted ➔ Opinion of subject teachers ➔ Students score in mathematics aptitude test, mathematics achievements test and intelligence test ➔ Students past performance in mathematics ➔ Students score in inventories like interest in mathematic. Attitude towards mathematics ➔ Report of a properly planned interview ➔ The opinion of teachers based on day-to-day observation of child’s behaviour
- 11. Enrichment programme for gifted students In order to avoid distraction
- 12. ➔ An enriched syllabus for extensive and intensive study ➔ Encouraged to enrich knowledge ➔ Allowed to do self study ➔ Use Heuristic, analytic, problem solving, project or discussion method ➔ Encouraged to participate Mathematics club activities ➔ Encouraged to use mathematical facts to solve day to day problems ➔ Involve Activities like seminars, exhibitions, models ➔ Works should be duly appreciated ➔ Special coaching should be arranged for such students ➔ Make learning fun ➔ Should give freedom ➔ Challenging tasks should be provided ➔ Don’t single out student ➔ Avoid rote learning
- 14. IQ IQ A student who lags behind other students In class we call the particular student a slow learner
- 15. Identification Of slow learners ➔ Can’t detect own errors ➔ Not creative in thinking ➔ Observation technique ➔ Case study method ➔ Medical examination ➔ Academic examination ➔ Personality tests ➔ Intelligent tests ➔ Psychological tests ➔ I.Q is below 90 ➔ Very little drive ➔ Short span of attention ➔ Weak association of memory ➔ Poor reader ➔ Difficulty with abstractions ➔ Not logical in thinking ➔ Low imagination
- 16. Characteristics of slow learners ● Limited cognitive capacity ● Low memory ● Lack of concentration ● Problem in language expression ● Difficulty in comprehension ● Lack of confidence spelling mistakes ● Problem in decision making
- 17. Causes ● Physical causes ● Lack of interest in subject ● Mental Disability ● Lack of Mathematical ability ● Inappropriate learning experiences ● Irregular study habits ● Teacher’s indifference ● Ineffective method of teaching ● Practice and Drill ● Family background and environment Remedies ● Consulting doctors and physical exercise ● Proper opportunity and motivation ● Teacher with attitude of affection, kindness and patience ● Training programs to improve the skill ● Remedial teaching ● Systematic plan and regular drill ● Boosting up the confidence ● Provide such opportunities which result meaningful learning ● Providing good guidance and academic support
- 18. ★ Sensory learning ★ Daily routine with surprises ★ Frequent change of strategies ★ Spot not for wrong answer ★ Check their work daily and accept as they do it ★ Never force to work long ★ Make the lesson simple and short ★ Each day testing is better than long test ★ New ways to review concepts ★ Break question into number of simple questions ★ Relate with real life examples ★ Avoid confusions Techniques to follow copy
- 19. Keep the phone simple and storage free so it runs everytime and everywhere 2018 2016 2017 2019 Mercury Venus Saturn Jupiter A
Editor's Notes
- #2: Teacher asks the students about this Students will be responding like different mobiles and Teacher continue with asking which mobile do you use and concludes that we all use different mobiles as per our diverse needs.Now you think as a student don’t you think they also need different teachers at least methods or techniques according to their needs Now think your grandmother using your smart phone can she use as good as you could do no right Student say yes.
- #15: In teaching learning process every teacher encounters slow learners especially in mathematic. In mathematics it is clearly evident and we could easily find out who are slow learners usually facial expressions itself can caught us them
- #18: Physical causes like eye sight, hearing problem, other physical disalignments
