This research aims to identify the indicators of attention deficit disorder and motor hyperactivity among first basic stage students and their relationship to impulsive behavior from the teachers' perspective. To this end, the researcher has developed three tools to measure each of the indicators of attention disorder, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. He, then, applied them to a sample of (137) male and female teachers of the first basic stage in Bethlehem Governorate. The results of the research showed that the level of the indicators of attention deficit disorder reached (3.62), which is a medium value, while the level of motor hyperactivity reached (3.75), which is a high value, and the level of impulsive behavior reached (3.69), which is also a high value. The results also showed the existence of a high positive correlation between the indicators of attention deficit disorder and impulsive behavior, as well as a positive correlation between motor hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. The researcher put forward a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: Holding training courses for teachers of the first basic stage to detect manifestations of attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, impulsive behavior in order to find techniques to confront them.
