ADHD a přístup k dětem ADHD v mateřských a základních školách
ŠIMKOVÁ, Iva
How teachers from pre-schools and primary schools treat children with ADHD syndrome ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) syndrome is psychological disorder that has three main symptoms : impulsivness, hyperactivity and inattetion. Because of these three symptoms, children with ADHD have often serious problems at school. Even if they try their best to have good marks they usually dont, because of their inability to concentrate. Because of the symptoms of the condition, they are usually not well behaved compare to thier classmates. Thats why ADHD syndrome can often cause conflicts between students and teachers and between children and their parents too. Nowadays ADHD affects around 3-5% of children .This means that every teacher will most likely come in to contact with ADHD at some point in their career. With this in mind, are teachers really well informed about ADHD? Do they really treat children with psychical disorders appropriatly? Children with ADHD usually dont like school because they are never successful and good as their peers. Although they dont like studying they still have thier favourite teachers . But which characteristics should an ideal teacher have when working with these children? Which characteristics would these children best relate to? This is obviously a huge subject to look at, we could examine a million different teaching approaches, but for my diploma work I have decided to consider the five which are for me the most important ones {--} extraversion, agreebleness, emotional stability, openness to experience and ability to resist stress. For my research i used two anonymous questionnaires - Big Five Test and Sense of Coherence Test. Next method was test with only five question that examines a teacher´s knowledge of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In addition to these, I also did interviews with children to find out which teachers they prefer to be taught by. As a teacher it can be challenging to have children with ADHD in your class. It needs a large amout of patience, because you wont see the results of your work for very long time. But if teachers and parents work together in supporting child sufferers of ADHD, and help to create a positive learning environment, they can make a difference and turn education into an enjoyable experience. By providing help with things that maybe easier for the rest of the class, and by promoting social activity between ADHD sufferers and their peers, teachers can create an eviroment that better for everyone.
