PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER’S ATTITUDE TOWARD CHILDREN WITH ADHD.

Abstract

Primary school teachers have a challenge to change and use appropriate methods in class in order to attract learners’ attention, help them to behave well and enhance their performance in learning during the classroom. The present study is designed to investigate teachers’ attitude towards their pupils who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and to determine how they deal with them and how they contribute to keep their attention and their concentration in the class. Moreover, this study was conducted to the primary school teachers in Algeria. A questionnaire and an interview administered to the teachers to gain insights about their attitudes towards pupils who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder via social media. The findings of this investigation show that the majority of primary teachers do not have knowledge about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And they have negative attitudes towards them.
