Introduction:
Within the classrooms faculty have to deal with different types of students; some are
very intelligent who learn very fast and some are quite weak who learn very slowly.
Therefore it is required to determine the abilities of the students in the class. Based on the
ability determined, some students need only guidance and some students need a hard work
and regular attention.

On the basis of their preceding exam performance, current subject performance and
class observation, learning speed students can be classified in two groups; advanced
learners and slow learners. Each type of students has different learning attitudes and
learning habits. A faculty has to adapt a teaching methodology such that he/she may not lose
the attention of the slow learners and turn off the advanced learners.

The purpose of assessment of the learning levels of the students and conduction of
activities for them is

1
  Identification of the slow learners and advanced learners in the class
 To ensure that slow learners and advanced learners are taken care as per
their needs
 To help them out for improvement in their academics.

Process Input:
To start identification of slow and advanced learner process following inputs is
needed
 Preceding examination overall result

 Class test result

 Class observation by subject teacher

Guidelines for identifying Slow Learners:

The connotation of academically slow learner (Weak Students) means those who could
not keep pace with the classroom teaching needs extra attention so as to bring such students at
par with the rest of the students of the class.
Slow learner and advanced learners would be identified for each subject separately
by respective subject teacher for all the semesters.

 Process to identify of slow learners and advanced learners would be c o n d u c t e d

immediately after declaration of preceding semester university exam result or after one
month of teaching in case of I Year based on MID-I marks (SEM I).
 S low learners are identified based on following parameters and their weightage.

S. Parameter Weightage (%)

No.
Marks obtained by student in objective type test /class
1 test /MID-I exam conducted for respective subject < 40%
2 Subject teacher observation 60%

Process of Slow learners and Advanced Learners (Identification and

Activities):
The process of assessment of the learning levels of the students and conduction of
activities for them should be carried out through a systematic procedure as shown in the
flow chart and explained in detail as below:

  The student securing marks below 40% would be identified as Slow Learners and the
student securing marks above 80 % would be identified as Advanced Learners.

Measures taken for improving academic performance of Slow Learners:

 The Institute practices a robust student academic counselling process. During the time of
admission Principal interacts with the parents and the student to assess their need and
aspirations. Further during the course of study group of students are assigned to a faculty
for counselling.

 The counsellors monitor academic performance and interact frequently to understand and
assist any student with issues that affect their ability to learn or impede their academic
success.

 The institute has a system to communicate performance and attendance of students to

parents regularly. A set of 20 students are assigned to a faculty as mentor and personal
and academic care of the student is taken care of by the corresponding mentor.

 Mentors communicate regularly with the parents and also send them sms along with the
report cards after the completion of each assessment test.

 Care is taken by faculty in monitoring the performance of slow learners. Faculty

members do periodic interaction with parents about the performance of slow learners.

 Learning material prepared by subject handling faculty members is verified by the expert
committee and will be uploaded in the portal regularly for students reference.

 Departments conduct remedial classes, provide course notes for students especially the
slow learners and those students who are at the verge of dropping out due to arrear
subjects.

 Such students are given regular class tests in order to improve their performance in the
university exam. Further faculty members revise the tough topics as per the students
requisition and provide university question bank and discuss the way of presenting the
answers in the exam to score marks.

Process to encourage slow learner

 Extra classes are organized to clarify doubts. Critical topics are re-explained for
better understanding by the students. Appropriate counseling with additional

 teaching is done which eventually results in students attending the classes
regularly.

Department Organized: Applied Mathematics

Participated By: All the student of B.Tech. First Year

Venue: Department of Applied Mathematics

Event: “Helpdesk”

Purpose: To make the students to interact with teachers & solve their subject related difficulties
and to give them personal counseling.

Remarks/Conclusion:
