The relationship between learning disabilities and the middle school pupil's educational attainment from teachers’ perspective - a field study.

Abstract

The present paper attempts to elucidate the relationship between learning disabilities and middle school pupils' educational attainment. The goal is to learn how teachers approach this category and compare their results to those of the regular category. This study was conducted following the descriptive approach. First, a questionnaire was distributed to a targeted sample of 30 middle school teachers to gather the data. Second, the data was collected and tabulated. Finally, data was analysed using percentages as a statistical technique. The findings concluded that there is a link between learning disabilities and educational attainment in middle school. Thus, the more effective those with learning disabilities are  identified and treated, the better their educational attainment will be. Furthermore, the teacher plays a crucial role in resolving the learners' problems by identifying the causes and factors, diagnosing them, and providing solutions.
