EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS ON SPECIAL NEED AND “CHARISMATIC” STUDENTS

Stefanos Leontopoulos, Prodromos Skenderidis, Vaios Liapopoulos, Vasilios Chatzitheodorou

Abstract


Teaching at any stage becomes effective when the student operates under the influence of learning motivation. However, in some cases, there are students who either appear learning difficulties or request special interests on their own and can be characterized as “charismatic”. In Greece, “charismatic” students are usually not separated from the rest of the students and often study and receive the same education as the rest of the students. As a result, their potential is not exploited and their motivation and school grades are reduced.The purpose of this work is to record the actions and means that should be used to teach students who have learning difficulties but also students who can be characterized as “charismatic”. In conclusion, teaching with the use of computers and other digital media can be integrated and significantly helps the teaching and learning of all subjects of the curriculum at all levels of education.
