Perception of control and coping mechanisms of children with learning disabilitiesWeintraub, Gerald A. January 1997 (has links)
Coping behaviour, perceived control, and the self concept of elementary school children with learning disabilities educated in regular and special education classrooms was examined using a comparative design. In addition, the influence of teachers' classroom management orientation on children's self-perceptions and coping behaviour was investigated. Children attending a special school for students with learning disabilities were found to be more adaptive copers than children in special education classes in regular schools, children receiving resource room assistance, and children mainstreamed in regular classes. Children with learning disabilities were found to have positive perceptions of their global self-worth regardless of the type of class they were in, although they indicated less confidence in their academic abilities compared to their self-perceptions of physical appearance and athletic competence. In general, most children believed that they were responsible for their academic successes and at the same time perceived academic failure as unavoidable. The students who coped most effectively demonstrated the most realistic appraisals of their academic situation. They recognized that they could not control academic failure, however, they believed that the best way to succeed in school was by continuing to exert effort. Additionally, successful copers held high expectations for future academic success and believed that they possessed the capacities needed to achieve this success. Children who coped most effectively strongly endorsed beliefs in their capacity to have a positive relationship with their teachers. Children who were rated as effective copers had teachers whose instructional orientation promoted autonomous functioning in their students.

Citrus clouds on planet goofy : the reported experiences of children with learning disability.January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to illuminate the lived experiences of children with
specific learning disability in an attempt to move beyond the deficit and
reductionist models of theorizing learning disabilities that currently inform our
understanding. A paradigm shift is proposed, a shift in focus towards a holistic
or comprehensive view of the person with learning disability. By viewing the
phenomenon from the inside, as it were, I shift my focus from “what it is” to
“how it is experienced” (Hall, 1998). It is suggested that a change in focus
from the deficit to the whole child in his context will better inform practice
This research follows the empirical phenomenological tradition, a qualitative
analysis of everyday accounts of living with LD. Justification is given for using
life history methodology in order to garner insights into the experiences of a
child with learning disability. Five informants between the ages of 12 and 14
years were selected to participate in this study. A multi-method approach to
data collection was used. Data were collected from a number of sources,
including audio journals kept by participants, guided conversations typical of
life history research and visual representations such as collages or life maps
submitted by the participants. Data, interpreted on multiple levels, are
represented in narrative form.
Findings challenge current thinking around inclusive education by suggesting
that learners with LD experience exclusion in a system meant to create a sense
of inclusion. It is in the mainstream that the “identity as LD” is constructed
because of the comparison to the performance of peers who do not have LD.
However in a specialised educational environment where peers all presented
with the same learning differences, difficulties and styles, instead of
comparison there is a sameness. I suggest that this leads to the development of
an “identity as capable.”
Finally there is much we can learn about pedagogical intervention or
management from these informants’ experience of LD. / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2009.

Academic achievement for LD children after three years of special class placement : effects of race, age, IQ, and placement typeInman, Michael Parker January 1989 (has links)
Previous research has reported that the effectiveness of special education in remediating learning difficulties varies as a function of the type of classroom placement, the student's age, and their intellectual ability. More recent findings have also suggested that a learning disability is not a single diagnostic entity, but rather distinct subtypes of learning disabled students exist. The study sought to determine if cluster analysis of the present sample yielded subtypes which conformed to previously identified LD subtypes; and whether these different subtypes of learning disabled (LD) students respond differentially in terms of the students academic achievement.The sample was comprised of 136 LD subjects between the ages of 9 and 15 years old for whom Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT) data was available for both initial assessment, and re-assessment three years later.Initial comparisons of the sample were conducted by examining differences in academic achievement for the three subtests of the PIAT for two different types of educational placement: full time versus part time; by racial groups; and between pre and post test results. Three main effects were found in the initial MANOVA on the PIAT subtests of math and reading recognition, however, none of the statistically significant results were determined to be of practical significance. These statistical results were consistent with previous research findings.The sample was subtyped using cluster analysis. A three cluster solution was determined using three variables: intelligence, achievement, and age of the subject. The three subtypes were described and determined to be consistent with subtypes previously identified. Cluster 1 was dropped from further analysis as not conforming to an LD profile and because of sample size.A 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 MANOVA was performed: cluster membership by placement by race by pre-post test results. Cluster 2 students significantly declined in their reading recognition achievement over the three years they were in special education, while Cluster 3 students gained significantly in reading recognition achievement over the same time period.The present results suggest that school psychologist should carefully consider not only whether a student is learning disabled, but the nature and severity of the disability when recommending placement. / Department of Educational Psychology

Die vroeë evaluering van en hulpverlening aan potensieël leergestremde sub A-leerlingeCloete, Gideon Stephanus 11 June 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. (Educational Psychology) / In every classroom there are probably pupils with learning problems. If these children can be identified before they fail and appropriate assistance can be provided at that stage, learning failure can be prevented or curbed. This study was undertaken against the background of growing dissatisfaction with the current systems of remedial provision to a relatively limited number of pupils after learning problems have manifested and the prognostic outcome seems accordingly bleak, A study of the literature was undertaken to gain a perspective on the nature and extent of the current practices of identification, evaluation and remedial assistance as well as the sensibility of the implementation of a more preventive child guidance practice. Although prevention is the obvious answer in the fight against learning problems, a study of the relevant literature revealed that the accent within the field still lies on remediation after the manifestation of learning problems and scholastic underachievement - and not prevention. Intensive and time-consuming evaluation, diagnosis and subsequent categorization (according to certain definitions of so-called "remedial pupils"), deprive many pupils with learning problems of assistance. This is still to a great extent the reigning policy of the education departments in Southern Africa. Less than 5% of all pupils receive remedial help outside the regular classroom in addition to the work done in class. In the literature important changes are predicted in the remedial approach to learning problems. A pragmatic swing can be expected as more and more . experts in Southern Africa and abroad voice the opinion that it seems sensible to determine in general what a pupil can and cannot do, and then to try and stimulate what he cannot do by means of a specifically devised program. After a study of the literature to determine the sensibility of a more preventive approach to learning problems on a wider basis, a short test battery and a support program were compiled.
