Case Study 1

Challenge: Unable to recall and apply knowledge -> blanks in tasks

Learning Need(s):

Memory Retention

Different learning style.

Shy. Did not clarify her misunderstandings on the concepts. Strategy 1-> encourage her to speak up more (teach her how to seek help) or approach the teacher after lesson to clarify her doubts.
