Establishing the Correlation between Identifying Slow and Advanced learners Scale on Regular Academics among Undergraduate Student
Purpose: Education is changing drastically with innovation impacting it the most. Bringing changes in the constantly changing world is important. This can only occur when we identify and categorizeour students into various types of learners, which can help us correctly deliver the knowledge. This was achieved by using the traditional method of categorizing the scores of students from the previous exams they have taken for example their 12th marks or previous years result. This method does not contain other domainsthat can focus on areasthat can improve the overall score of the student as a learner. The study aimed to find the reliability and correlation to effectively identify slow and advanced learners. Methods: The study was conducted at a health university. First-year BPT undergraduate students were selected to identify slow and advanced learners. Data collection was carried out by a subject teacher appointed to assess students during class sessions. Students were evaluated per lecture, using the tool over the whole academic year. Results: The overall scale demonstrates strong internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.9307. While most items contribute positively to the scale's reliability. The correlations between total scores and other scores show that higher academic performance in these areas is positively associated with total scores. Conclusions: The tool demonstrates strong reliability and validity in identifying slow and advanced learners, making it a valuable resource for educators aiming to enhance student learning outcomes.
