دراسة مقارنة للوظائف التنفيذية لكل من الطلبة ذوي صعوبات التعلم والطّلبة العاديين
This study aimed to identify the differences in the executive functions of students with learning disabilities, and ordinary students. It is a comparative descriptive study, during which the researchers applied a diagnostic test in the form of a scale called BRIEF2. It is a test in the form of a battery to assess the behavior of students. It includes forms to be filled in by the classroom teacher and the special education teacher. The scale consists of 59 items distributed over (9) dimensions for the estimation of teachers and to ensure the characteristics and validity of the scale of executive functions. The researchers calculated the reliability of the test using (test-retest) method, and Alfa – Cronbach formula, the sample consisted of 100 students, the students were divided into two groups, (50) students with learning disabilities and (50) normal students. The ages of the students ranged between (7-11) years. The study included public and private schools in Amman. To analyze the data, the arithmetic means and standard deviations of the students' marks were calculated on the level of the executive functions to the student's status variable (those with learning disabilities and ordinary students). The results indicated that there were apparent differences between the arithmetic means of the students' marks on the level of executive Functions. (Published abstract)
