Abstract:
Research from the past has demonstrated that students utilize graphic organizers to link concepts and ideas. Graphic organizers act as scaffolds to organize ideas. Utilizing graphic organizers promotes knowledge chunking and aids in learning. The present investigation sheds light on the effectiveness of graphic organizers in meeting the unique learning needs of slow learners in government schools of Chandigarh. Slow learners often struggle with understanding complex concepts and retaining information, which hampers their academic progress. Graphic organizers, as visual learning tools, help to simplify and organize information, making it easier for students to comprehend and remember key content. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select a sample of 40 slow learners from 8th grade in government schools of Chandigarh, with 20 students assigned to the experimental group and 20 to the control group. These learners were identified through checklist, academic performance records and teacher recommendations, focusing on students who consistently demonstrated difficulties in keeping up with the curriculum. Self-made questionnaires were designed to collect data. The responses gathered will be subjected to t-test to assess the impact of these tools on students’ academic performance, engagement and comprehension ability in the learning process. The findings of this study demonstrate that graphic organizers create a tailored learning environment that significantly enhances the academic performance, comprehension and engagement of slow learners. This study seeks to provide meaningful insights for educators and policymakers, promoting the use of graphic organizers in classrooms to effectively support slow learners. Ultimately, it contributes to a more inclusive and adaptive teaching approach that accommodates diverse learning needs.
