Case Study on the Use of Learning Needs Identification Strategy
in the School Context
Background

XYZ High School is a public school with students from diverse backgrounds
and ability levels. However, the exam results and academic achievements of
students have not reached their maximum potential. To improve the quality
of teaching and student achievements, the school decided to implement the
learning needs identification strategy.

Implementation Steps

Initial Data Collection:
XYZ High School started by collecting data about students' exam
performance, challenging subjects, and participation levels in
extracurricular activities. This data helped identify trends and patterns
among students.

Observations and Interviews:
Students and teachers were observed about learning preferences, learning
styles, and challenges they face in the learning process. Individual
interviews were also conducted with some students to gain deeper
insights.

Data Analysis:
The curriculum and teaching development team analyzed the data
collected from the previous steps. They looked for patterns indicating
students' learning needs. For example, some students might struggle with
mathematics, while others might face challenges in effective
communication.

Action Plan Development:
Based on data analysis, the development team created an action plan that
includes specialized learning strategies to address students' learning
needs. This could involve changes in teaching methods, the addition of
extra learning resources, or the development of remedial programs.
