ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the meanings of slow learners' daily life based on their viewpoints. Using the photovoice method, this study explored dreams of slow learners and analyzed the nature of the dreams. Through participatory action research, they were able to express themselves and selected topics of each session in the photovoice program. The photovoice program is a 4-week, 60-minute group session from January 7 to January 29, 2016. In the last session, a photovoice exhibition was held by study participants, parents, and stakeholders. During the sessions, group counseling was provided twice for the parents. This study found 5 main themes and 16 sub-themes. The slow learners have high frustration, low self-confidence, and unclear future. They are normal ordinary children, such as feeling loneness when mothers are not at home and enjoying video games. They are moving forward slowly with dreams of their own future. An essential and common dream of slow learners is to live happily with family members. Based on these results, practical and policy suggestions are discussed.
