| Summary: | This paper studies one of the nine types of academic underachievers that is, the struggling learners that are
undertaking Australian-based Pre-University programmes. Primary qualitative data are gathered via
interviews, aiming to explore learners’ self-perception, self-discipline and motivation levels to better know
the common characteristics and how passive thoughts are formed along their learning journey. This initiative
contributes to broadening teachers’ understanding about the presence of academic underachieving learners
in classrooms and hence, adding clarity to teachers’ role in providing necessary attention as well as
technical assistance to them. |
