Abstract
This study is on an academic research entitled “social learning approach
and independent action of mild mental retarded learners in Sigowet
division Kericho District Kenya”. The purpose of the study was to
investigate the level of social level and its relationship with the level of
independent action of learners with mild mental challenged. The
objectives of the study were: to determine the levels of independent
action of learners who are mild mental challenged using two groups;
experimental and control; to establish the relationship between the level
of independent action of experimental and control group of learners who
are mild mental challenged using social learning approach; to determine
whether there was a significant difference in the level of independent
action of learners who are mild mental challenged between the pre test
and post test period. The research design employed in the study was
experimental. The findings reveals that most learners did not improve on
the percentage gain for both groups as revealed in the post test marks.
Learners with mild mental challenged faces challenges in learning and this
may be due to mental challenged they exhibit. Teaching them required
employment of varied learning strategies. The recommendations in the
study suggest that in the curriculum functional skills should be included
and all stakeholders should advocate for these persons to give
opportunities in order to realize their potentials.
