  1. ADHD in the classroom: What techniques work best for addressing ADHD / ADD in the classroom? By Maria lacava Fall 2013 Cbse 7202

  2. TABLE OF CONTENTS Research Design – Slide 3 Proposed Data – Slide 4 Threats to Internal Validity – Slide 5 Threats to External Validity – Slide 6 Pre-test, Post-test Analysis – Slide 7,8 Sample student surveys – Slide 9 References – Slide 10

  3. RESEARCH DESIGN Pre-experimental Design One group of 23 non-randomly assigned students, with no controlled group Symbolic Design: OXO The single group of participants (O) will be pre-tested before being given the treatment (X), and a post-tested (O) in order to determine the experiment’s success.

  4. PROPOSED DATA Teacher will administer a survey to students about their attention and work habits. Teacher will first assign a self directed research assignment. Following the self-directed assignment, the teacher will then administer multiple, short task based assignments concerning material. Teacher will administer post survey to see which techniques worked better for students.

  5. Threats to Internal Validity History: Students amount of sleep, family life, stress may affect their attention span on the given day of the survey and experiments. Selection-Maturation Interaction: Student maturity and growth differs, and this might affect their attention span / ability to focus. Maturation: Some students will be more emotionally mature to focus on tasks on hand. Some students might “grow out” of their ADD/ADHD symptoms

  6. THREATS TO EXTERNAL VALIDITY Experimenter Effects: Students might not answer truthfully on the surveys based on concerns that they might be graded or judged. Pre-Test Treatment: students may answer differently since they were pre-tested. Hawthorne Effect: Students might modify their behavior, work habits in order to please the experimenter.
