This paper discusses an on-going study that initiates an initial process in determining the common components for a conceptual model of interactive computer-assisted learning that is specifically designed for low achieving children. This group of children needs a specific learning support that can be used as an alternative learning material in their learning environment. In order to develop the conceptual model, this study extracts the common components from 15 strongly justified computer assisted learning studies.A comparative analysis has been conducted to determine the most appropriate components by using a set of specific indication classification to prioritize the applicability.The results of the extraction process reveal 17 common components for consideration.Later, based on scientific justifications, 16 of them were selected as the proposed components for the model.
