Study Notes
Causes of Learning Gaps
- Teaching methods that don't cater to individual learning styles can create learning gaps, e.g., lectures might not work for students who learn better through hands-on activities.
- Socio-economic factors, such as limited access to learning resources and support outside of school, can hinder students from low-income backgrounds.
- Learning disabilities, if left unaddressed, can lead to learning gaps, especially in specific subjects.
Impact on Different Ages and Environments
- Younger students are more susceptible to changes in teaching methods.
- Older students are more likely to be affected by socio-economic factors.
- Teachers may find it challenging to identify and address learning gaps in large classrooms compared to smaller groups.
