The effect of providing specialized training for learning disabilities to teachers on dictation achievement of students with learning disabilities in third grade elementary school

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of providing specialized training for learning disabilities to teachers on dictation achievement of students with learning disabilities in third grade elementary school. For this purpose, using purposive sampling, 16 third grade elementary school teachers were chosen. Thirty one students with learning disorder (previously identified) were from their classes. They were then assigned to two experimental and control groups (8 teachers in each group). The experimental group participated in nine sessions of the learning disabilities training course. It should be noted that the dictation achievement of students with learning disabilities was measured before and after the teachers’ training course. ANCOVA results showed that the dictation achievement of students with learning disabilities whose teachers were in the experimental group was significantly better than other students.
