“Whereas efficient learners are reflective, strategic and cognitively engaged, struggling learners have difficulties in self-regulating their learning.” This according to Prof Marco Hessels, extraordinary professor at the Optentia Research Focus Area on the Vanderbijlpark Campus of the North-West University (NWU).

The Optentia Research Focus Area on the Vanderbijlpark Campus of the North-West University (NWU Vaal) already has a full schedule planned for the first quarter of 2017.

This year marks the fourth rendition of the very successful learning programme: Bridging The Mathematical Gap, as presented by the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Information Technology on the Vanderbijlpark Campus of the North-West University. 

Four years since the inception of the Bridging The Mathematical Gap (BTMG) learning programme at the North-West University’s (NWU's) Vanderbijlpark Campus, many learners have not only overcome towards anxiety for mathematics, but are also flourishing as students pursuing their university studies within the BCom and BSc fields.
