ABSTRACT of Thesis by
Joanne Farrugia & Stephania Muscat
This study focuses on the teachers’ diagnosis
of pupils perceived as having learning difficulties
and the strategies teachers used and are using
in meeting the pupils’ needs. This research
is built on 4 case studies. The following questions
are analysed:
- How is the child perceived?
- Is the teacher aware of the child’s
needs?
- Are the teachers adapting their teaching strategies
to meet the child’s needs?
- How are they adapting?
- How effective are these teaching strategies?
With the aid of the Learning Combination Inventory,
the researchers analysed the teachers’ and
pupils’ combination of learning patterns
and the use of these patterns in class. Through
the use of unstructured interviews, questionnaires
and a series of observation sessions, the researchers
studied the teachers’ teaching strategies
and the pupils’ reaction to these strategies.
It was found that although teachers are aware
of the children’s learning problems they
may not cater appropriately for the children’s
needs.
