Abstract

Education is important to all level of people. It is as a key to success in life, but not all
people can do well in their education for some reasons. Some people face some
difficulties in learning because of their family background, behavior or characteristics,
interest, knowledge levels and so on. The purpose of this project is to develop a
courseware application for slow learners. The scope is for children at the age of six to
nine years old and focus on slow learners in the topic of Mathematical operations. It is
also focused on the game-based learning in order to help the slow learners to improve
their knowledge in learning process. Slow learner has a problem with the learning
method and poor memories. These children do not get sufficient attention in the
mainstream education. They usually fail repeatedly in examinations. Establishing special
schools for children in this category is not practical. It is ideal to evolve strategies to
provide education to these children in normal schools itself. The system is developed
using a Rapid Application Development (RAD). This methodology gives much faster
development and higher-quality results while reducing development costs and
maintaining quality. The system is expected to improve the current learning process for
the slow learners. By using this game-based courseware, the slow learners can learn in
effective and interactive manner. It provides a dynamic learning environment for the
slow learners to acquire the knowledge and strengthen their skills. It is hoped that slow
learners will improve their understanding in learning process by using a game-based
courseware.
