Abstract

Background and Objectives: This study aims to address the issue of academic decline in a 10th grade humanities student at Nemuneh Taghavi School in Birjand during the 2023-2024 academic year.

Methods: The research was conducted using action research methodology, with data collected through observation and interviews.

Findings: The findings indicated that factors such as lack of knowledge about study methods, decreased concentration, increased stress, and reduced motivation can lead to academic decline. To address this issue, the researcher proposed solutions based on theoretical and practical backgrounds, including enhancing study skills, boosting the student’s intrinsic motivation, teaching planning and time management skills.

Results: The implementation of these solutions led to improved academic performance, increased motivation and self-confidence, and reduced stress in the student. The study suggests that teachers and school administrators should use these methods to improve students’ academic performance and pay special attention to their individual needs. Continuity in implementing these solutions and students’ adherence to them is also crucial for achieving long-term positive results.
