First, we should see the causes of low learning. Is this lack of interest, communication problem, difficulty in digesting new information, teaching methods, teaching strategy, learning methods, learning style, teacher's` personality etc. First, the cause is diagnosed, then we can find a solution and address the problem.

Hi dear
For such kind of problems and many others , the teacher advices to pay attention to individual differences among students, then deal with them in the way that suit the situation using group or peer work in class or other types of techniques .

Do you have any suggestions for other types of teqniques dear Dr. Liqaa Habeb?
Slow learning is a stigma in indian academics. As mentors we need to focus on the learner and motivate him or her with an appreciative culture. We must save him from peer pressure and help him deal small problems initially.
A very good piece of knowledge Mr.Anibid Sircar. Thanks a lot.
I totally agree with you Mr. Muhammad Sohaib Ahmedani. thanks for adding your answer.

Mohannad Husain Al-Sherrawi · thanks a lot for your wonderful answer.
Greetings Dr through placement in special classes and taught by teachers who are set up for this kind of students as in the Department of special education at the College where they are taught special materials for this type of students.
Education method that teacher use is very importance as constructive learning and instruction. Additionally, the theory of multiple intelligences should be examined thoroughly. And Educational Assesment and Evaluation is, too.
Hello Arwa Abdolrasoul Salman,
As Griffin (1978) states, "slow learners are students who learn more slowly than their peers, yet do not have a disability requiring special education". It seems that various factors may be responsible for such slow learning including lack of emotional growth, an insecure learning context, lack of opportunities for learning, absenteeism, large class sizes,and of course, inadequately designed teacher training programs. There are naturally several reasons behind such lack of tolerance. However, the most important is related to the fact that such teachers have not received any particular training on techniques of supporting slow learners.On this basis, teachers should identify the causes which negatively influence students' progress, and as you have stated, they should establish a strong rapport between themselves and such learners.Unless such training is not foreseen and included in teacher training programs, slow learners continue to dislike classes and learning.
Best regards,
R. Biria
If students learn as a group and not only as individuals, it can be very interesting. The pace of the slower ones will not be noticed so much and tension will be lower, the slower ones will have the possibility to learn more than if they had their difficulties exposed in class.
I think one can improve the slow learning students by the following measures:
1. Encouragement
2. Try to the know the cause behind the slow learning and solve it if possible
3. May be put them in a special class
4. Let them to ask whatever they want specially not in front the other students
5. Deal with them friendly
Regards, Raid
