About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of an Educational Program on Primary School Teachers' Knowledge and Performance Regarding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This interventional study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program designed to improve primary school teachers' knowledge and classroom performance regarding the management of children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study focuses on teachers who work with students previously diagnosed with ADHD based on official medical reports to ensure diagnostic accuracy and strengthen the validity of the intervention outcomes. The structured teaching program includes evidence-based information about ADHD characteristics, classroom behavior management strategies, and educational support techniques to enhance teachers' competence in managing children with ADHD in regular classroom settings.
The main research question of this study is whether participation in a structured teaching program can significantly improve primary school teachers' knowledge and classroom management performance when working with children diagnosed with ADHD.
Read the detailed description
This interventional study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program on improving primary school teachers' knowledge and classroom performance regarding children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in primary schools in Sulaimaniya city. The study will involve two groups of teachers: an intervention group and a control group. Teachers in the intervention group will receive a structured teaching program designed to improve their understanding and classroom management performance related to children with ADHD, while teachers in the control group will not receive the structured teaching program during the study period.
The structured teaching program will include evidence-based educational content covering essential aspects of ADHD, including general information about the disorder, causes and risk factors, common signs and symptoms, early recognition of children with ADHD in classroom settings, and the importance of medical diagnosis based on professional assessment reports. In addition, the program will provide practical guidance on classroom management strategies, behavioral support techniques, instructional adaptations, and effective communication approaches for supporting children with ADHD in primary school environments.
The program also aims to strengthen teachers' skills in identifying learning difficulties associated with ADHD and applying appropriate behavioral and educational strategies to improve students' academic engagement and classroom participation. The effectiveness of the structured teaching program will be evaluated by comparing teachers' knowledge and classroom management performance before and after the intervention between the intervention and control groups.
