FOREWORD

Teaching and learning are undoubtedly two concepts that are easily separable. Indeed, if the teacher teaches, it does not mean that the learners in front of him/her are learning. The number of learners with academic difficulties, despite the apparent high success rate, is constantly increasing. Nowadays in Cameroon, Africa and even in overseas countries, dropping out and failure at school is sometimes worrying. Moreover, it has become very difficult for parents, teachers, trainers and other informed school supervisors to motivate learners.

Each of us has a different way of learning. It is difficult for the majority of individuals to explain concretely how they learn. The inability to understand our own metacognition often leads to difficulties in learning lessons taught at school, difficulties in preparing for an exam and, as a result of the snowball effect, poor academic performance.

Teachers, parents and other trainers need to organize and structure knowledge so that, when the ideal conditions are met, the learner learns. How can we help our learners, the children in our care, to improve their academic performance? Is it enough to follow the instructions of a particular approach to think that students are learning? Or is taking a tutor for remediation when the learner's performance is not good or satisfactory the solution?

Trainers usually teach according to their own learning profiles, ignoring that the learners opposite have their own.  It is necessary to know a learner's learning profile in order to be able to organise knowledge so that they learn.

My experience as a high school teacher has made me observe the following: students are increasingly underachieving, have low self-esteem and self-confidence, are rebellious and lack motivation, get little involved, are mostly distracted and disoriented.  Most of them do not show sufficient determination to succeed in their school activities. Facilitating the accompaniment of learners by parents, teachers and other school supervisors in the learning process is the objective of this guide, which I hope will help them to know how to help their low-performing learners.  The content is non-exhaustive and written in simple words, so that you can start reading it wherever you like.

Introduction

Despite a high school success rate observed over the last 10 or even 15 years in our country, the number of young people
