The effectiveness of Je Vous teaching and learning strategies on weak learners' performance in mathematics

Weak learners can be identified in mathematics classrooms. They are the students who have problems in adapting to the learning process, slow to understand concepts, unable to retain information for long and have difficulties in applying their knowledge to various situations. Weak learners should be helped because they are the asset of the country and reducing their numbers, means, a better chance for the country to achieve the mission as a developed country. The aim of this paper is to discuss about the effectiveness of the implementation of Je Vous Teaching and Learning Strategies on weak learners. 50 weak learners were involved in this study. They were from Pre Commerce students of Mengubah Destini Anak Bangsa Programme Semester December 2012 to April 2013 at Mara University of Technology Kelantan branch, Malaysia. To achieve this objective JE VOUS Teaching and Learning Strategies involve five phases such as gathering students' Mathematics results in SPM examination, giving diagnostic test, imparted knowledge through direct teaching, having peer mentoring and doctor - patient session as well as evaluating the students' performance. The result indicates that there is an improvement in students understanding, thus helping them to score in their examinations.
