Disabilities
Able Underachievers
Diane Montgomery, Editor
Since the introduction of mass schooling educationalists have been concerned that
large numbers of able children have underfunctioned. The introduction of grammar
school education in 1944 for the top twenty- percent did not overcome this problem.
Evidence of what is needed and what works with able underachievers, the disaffected
and low attainers from a wide range of backgrounds lies in the pedagogy used. It
concludes that teaching and learning methods need to be modified to become learning
oriented and learner centered rather than subject oriented and teacher centered.
Education then will have come to age.
