Making the students more active is a suite of training actions / self, development and shaping their personality and methodical guidance by stimulating the activity they carry out. This suite of measures mainly include: stimulating and fostering student interest for knowledge, valuing students' intelligence and their other mental functions through the effort which they shall make; training and practice to students abilities to acquire knowledge; developing and training the students in the skills of autonomous orientation in practical problems; nurturing the investigative spirit in searches and personal epistemic attitude by engaging students in organizing, directing, conducting and evaluating curricular and extracurricular activities.

Learning difficulties in children reveal a significant educational gap between estimated intellectual potential and their actual performance level, the discrepancy may be associated with disturbances in basic learning, but not a direct consequence of mental deficiencies generalized sensory deficiencies of some cultural or educational deficiencies or severe emotional disturbances (Gherguţ, 2007, p 221).

Through this paper we demonstrate how the proposed method helps to improve school performance activeness of students with learning difficulties. Thus, we hypothesized that if the educational process using as many active methods, efficient processes and unique teaching tools, students experiencing learning difficulties will develop quantitative and qualitative, improving school performance.

For this purpose an experimental research was conducted on a total of 48 students of which 13 have learning difficulties. The results confirm the hypothesis, which demonstrates that the methods used to activate the head lead to improved academic performance of students with learning difficulties.
