(ii) Enhancing the poor students' self-efficacy
A student’s self-efficacy of himself as a learner may have a powerful effect on his engagement in a learning task. Most of the people expect to be respected. Teacher should try to plan and assign the work so that even the poor students can experience a certain amount of success. Repeated failure will in time kill the desire to try while anticipation of success will enhance the motivation to explore and learn. So a teacher should provide opportunities for the poor student to see his strong points. No matter how little progress he has made, giving him appreciation or reward immediately by recognizing and praising him will reinforce his confidence in making further progress. So one of the duties of a teacher is to help these students to overcome their obstacles, get them involved in learning and build up their confidence to achieve and win.
As we know, in one class there are always some passive and slow students who are hesitant about their response to a question or some learning tasks. There are also some poor students who are shy or reserved and will not participate until they are 100 percent sure of themselves. These groups of students are usually quite sensitive or self-conscious. If they are neglected, which suggests the loss of quite a number of supporters or participants in learning activities. Teaching in that sense is not likely to be successful. In my teaching experience I had one boy student who was very shy and not so excellent, so he never answered or asked any question however I encouraged him. Then one day I asked my students to record their reading of a text. After listening to the recording of that shy boy I gave a comment: your voice is so beautiful, I really appreciate it. From then on the boy broke his silence and became active in class. In fact there are numerous examples in our teaching practice which illustrate the magic power of praise and encouragement.
(iii) Helping poor learners overcome helplessness
The concept of helplessness derives from the theory that students may become academic failures through a conditioning process based on negative feedback from teachers, school experiences, peers and students themselves. Numerous studies show that students consistently fail, “they might feel that regardless of how hard they try, they cannot avoid failure, so eventually they stop trying.” [12] They become conditioned to helplessness. Teachers can help to counter this syndrome, including attribution training, self-esteem programs, goal restructuring, success-guaranteed approaches, and positive feedback systems.
