PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES

Abstract

Promoting effective pedagogical strategies is essential to enhance the development of students who face learning challenges. In this context, it is imperative that educators adopt personalized and innovative approaches to create an inclusive environment that meets the individual needs of students. A fundamental strategy is pedagogical differentiation, which involves adapting content, methodology and assessment according to each student's skills and learning styles. This allows the educator to adjust their teaching to ensure that all students have access to the curriculum, regardless of the specific difficulties they may face. Continuous and formative assessment plays a crucial role. It not only provides information about student progress, but also allows for quick adjustments to teaching strategies. This allows educators to early identify areas that require additional attention, offering timely interventions to fill learning gaps. Encouraging active student participation is also a valuable strategy. Involving students in practical activities, collaborative projects and discussions stimulates interest and understanding, making the learning process more meaningful. Furthermore, it provides opportunities to identify and develop each student’s individual skills. Educational technology can be a powerful ally. Digital tools and resources can be customized to meet the specific needs of students with learning disabilities, offering interactive and adaptive activities that make learning more engaging and accessible.The partnership between school and family is a vital component. Maintaining open and constant communication with parents allows you to share information about the student's progress, discuss effective strategies, and involve the family in the educational process.
