single subject

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of self-monitoring training on the attention and academic progress of students with special learning disorders. The research method was a single-subject type (multiple baselines) with intervention and follow-up. The statistical population of the current study includes all the fourth grade male students with math problems in the 20th district normal school, who were selected by purposive sampling of 4 boys according to the entry criteria. The tools of this research were Jordan's Attention Deficit Disorder Index (JADDI), the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, 5th edition (SB-5) and teacher-made test for evaluating the subjects' math lessons. This study was conducted in three stages: basic, intervention and follow-up. In order to analyze the data, visual analysis and calculation of PND and SMD effectiveness indices were used for the average standard differences. Comparison of the results of three stages showed that self-monitoring training increased the attention and academic progress of all four subjects. Considering the effectiveness of attention self-monitoring training on the attention and academic progress of students with specific learning disorders (math disorder), it can be concluded that primary school teachers should use attention self-monitoring training to improve the attention and academic progress of elementary students with specific learning disorders.
