- Abstract
The democratization of social life imposes education preparing children and adolescents to face their limits and with the condition of satisfying personal needs in the context of reciprocal social relations. The existence of students who do not adapt to the requirements of the educational environment represents the reality of any educational system. In Romania, this phenomenon is highlighted by the low school grades, low test scores, second examinations and grade repetition, absenteeism and school abandonment. The significant proportion of students with school difficulties requires the reassessment of this problem and finding new solutions for preventing school failure in disadvantaged children by the ratio between the institution and their individual and family characteristics. Individual determinants of school difficulties are often backed-up by the institutonal determinants and cause some children to enter the downslope of failure or partial achievement of learning potential. Through a proper task mediation, by encouraging the transfer from similar learning activities, by learning strategies and concepts, through personal development activities and optimization of emotional and social skills, the child may acquire the ability to overcome the typical performance level and to access a higher performance level.
