Download full textAllen, LeDewey E., Jr. – 1974
The slow learner is defined as a student whose IQ falls between 75 and 90 or who ranks below the thirtieth percentile of the student population in mathematical achievement. His characteristics and special needs are discussed in some detail. A presentation of selected methods and techniques for instructing slow learners to add and subtract…

Peer reviewedKuhfittig, Peter K. F. – School Science and Mathematics, 1974
Forty seventh-grade students, grouped by ability and instructed by intermediate or maximal guidance with or without concrete aids, were given post and retention tests. Low-ability students using aids achieved higher than those taught without aids. Intermediate-guidance groups had higher mean transfer scores when using aids, with no differences…

Kellough, Richard D. – Sci Educ, 1970
Presents the procedures, results, and conclusion of a study designed to determine if (1) a teacher using perceptual field learning theory can exert effective influences on slow learners toward a significant self adjustment and (2) the slow learners can learn as much biology as students taught by conventional methods. Subjects were 52 slow learners…

Lowry, William C., Ed. – 1972
The first part of this yearbook treats the characteristics and needs of the slow learner, the research literature, behavioral objectives, and the creation of a favorable learning environment. The second part, meant to provide more specific help for the classroom teacher, deals with teaching techniques, multisensory aids and activities, mathematics…

Kellough, Richard Dean – 1967
This study compared the perceptual field approach learning theory with conventional theories based on reinforcement and conditioning. The aim was to achieve significant improvement in the self-adjustment of slow learners while not inhibiting their learning of biology. The California Test of Personality and the Nelson Biology Test were given as…

CEMREL, Inc., St. Louis, MO. – 1977
The Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) materials presented here were in the process of development at the time of publication. It is noted that children generally classified as slow learners are, in many cases, pupils who have had unhappy experiences with learning. The instructional approach is designed to: (1) inspire pupils with a…
