Low Development Intervention for the Children of the Nong Sang Village

Este resumen tiene acceso abierto
Abstract Summary

Low development in Thailand primarily affects reading, writing, and math skills. The current study aimed to provide support to the children, who have been impacted by the skip generation, in their educational studies. Eight students in the Nong Sang Village School, that were classified as having learning disabilities, took part in this mentorship program. The students were matched with a mentor who excels in the subject areas that they need help in. The mentors filled out satisfaction surveys, which showed that they believed the mentorship program was effective. Mentees satisfaction surveys were skewed, likely due to their inability to read. A qualitative assessment of the social relationships component of the intervention included students completing the bingo game with most students filling above ten squares, indicating that they had learned 10 fun facts about each other. Students worked together at the workbooks station during the interactive block and playdough activities, and students participated in the social games. These results suggest that the intervention was effective. In order to promote academic success, this intervention should be continued and extended in other rural areas of Thailand.
