Neurodidactic approaches in teaching Romanian language to pupils from underprivileged backgrounds. A case study based on the pupils from Garcini

Abstract

This study follows up two projects regarding teaching Romanian language at academic level and at gymnasium level. The authors propose a neurodidactic approach to remedial teaching and learning of Romanian language to gymnasium pupils from disadvantaged areas. Such an approach responds to the needs and motivation of the pupils and to (at least) the minimum requirements of the national curriculum. The authors argue that introducing brain-friendly lessons and evaluation techniques throughout the gymnasium years could enhance pupils’ results in the Romanian language and literature national examination at the end of the learning cycle.
