Original Title:
Διερεύνηση των απόψεων των εκπαιδευτικών γενικής και ειδικής αγωγής της Πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης σχετικά με μαθητές με ΔΕΠ-Υ και την εκπαίδευσή τους
Translated title:
the views of primary and special education teachers of primary education on students with ADHD and their education
Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the views of Primary Education teachers,
general and special education, on students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) in relation to their general characteristics, symptoms, diagnosis and
treatment. 125 teachers (84 general education and 41 special education teachers)
participated in the study. Teachers’ knowledge was assessed on the Knowledge of
Attention Deficit Disorders Scale (KADDS), a 36-item scale measuring teachers'
knowledge and misconceptions about nature, the causes and prognosis of ADHD, its
symptomatology and its treatment. The results show that teachers know more about the
symptoms-diagnosis, less about the general characteristics of the disorder and even less
about its intervention. Teachers' knowledge was found to be affected by their age and
previous teaching experience with students with ADHD, while they were not found to
be affected by gender, individual level of education, specialty and years of service. The
findings of the study indicate the need to conduct educational activities on ADHD
issues, as well as the importance of their role in supporting students in the classroom.
