An American study used the High School Personality Questionnaire (HSPQ) as a
predictive tool when placing learners in special classes. The personality characteristics of
these learners were found to have a pervasive influence on learning. As the policy
regarding the provision of education in South Africa has changed, with the emphasis on
the accommodation of all learners in one inclusive education system,ยท further study of the
personality traits of South African learners with special education needs was deemed
necessary, before devising classroom management strategies that could be employed
within an inclusive education system.
This study provides the results of a literature and an empirical investigation into the
personality traits of learners with special education needs. The educational implications
are addressed, with specific reference to the education of learners with special education
needs in an inclusive education system, and practical strategies for educators, parents and
the Educational Psychologist are presented. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (with specialisation in Guidance and Counselling)
