The Effects of the Intervention Program on Low Achiever Students’ Learning Achievement in Classroom

Abstract

Low achiever students can transform into academically successful individuals if teachers prioritize educational equity through intervention program in the classrooms. This paper presents the impact of intervention program on 18 low achiever students of two different grades in a primary school, carried out within the period of four months. This mixed, observational descriptive study of longitudinal design used instruments like block tests and exams to collect quantitative data, and teachers’ observation records to collect qualitative data after interventions in the classrooms by the researchers. The result revealed significant improvement in scores of block tests and exams, and display of positive behavior towards learning by the participants. Findings from the data sources concluded that the intervention program implemented on the low achiever students could significantly improve the learning achievement and develop positive attitude towards learning.  This research comes as a solution to the teachers who are struggling to improve the academic performance of low performing students and to the students who are pathetically struggling to improve themselves in the classrooms. Therefore, this research finding demonstrates that equal treatment to all the students in the classroom is a biased practice. Treating students according to their needs is the solution to support all and that is the educational equity.
