“…Collectively, these studies included 1,866 participants (1,224 teachers, 469 parents, and 173 children). These studies investigated the following issues related to ADHD: central auditory processing (Abdel-Hamid, Safwat, Raafat, Hamed, & Farouk, 2013), teacher knowledge and beliefs (Abed, Pearson, Clarke, & Chambers, 2014; Alkahtani, 2013; Al-Omari, Al-Motlaq, & Al-Modallal, 2015), functional impairments in children (Al-Ansari, 2013), psychometric properties of measurement tools (Al-Awad & Sonuga-Barke, 2002; Hassan, Al-Haidar, Al-Alim, & Al-Hag, 2009), concentration skills, and efficacy of intervention programs (ElDaou & El-Shamieh, 2015; Shata, Abu-Nazel, Fahmy, & El-Dawaiaty, 2014; Zaghlawan, Ostrosky, & Al-Khateeb, 2007).…”

“…Não obstante, num estudo de revisão sistemática, que integrou 26 investigações, levado a cabo por De Boer, Pijl e Minnaert (2011), constatou-se que a maioria dos professores manifesta atitudes neutras ou negativas em relação à inclusão de alunos com necessidades educativas especiais no 1º ciclo. Estudos realizados sobre o conhecimento dos professores acerca da PHDA permitiram compreender que muitas das suas atitudes não inclusivas se organizam a partir de ideias pré-concebidas (e.g., a PHDA é provocada pelo ambiente familiar) ou na completa insciência da natureza desta problemática (e.g., Al-Omari, Al-Motlaq, & Al-Modallal, 2015;Ghanizadeh et al, 2006). Ao invés, o conhecimento mais apurado dos professores acerca da origem da PHDA resultou em atitudes mais tolerantes para com estes alunos (e.g., Nur & Kavakc, 2010;Ohan, Cormier, Hepp, Visser, & Strain, 2008).…”

“…Na generalidade, os docentes inquiridos mostraram um conhecimento profícuo das principais questões que envolvem a PHDA, embora seja necessário um maior investimento no esclarecimento de alguns aspetos que podem ser determinantes, particularmente em relação à etiologia. Com efeito, outros estudos realizados sobre o conhecimento dos professores acerca da PHDA permitiram compreender que muitas das suas atitudes não inclusivas se organizam a partir de ideias pré-concebidas (e.g., a PHDA é provocada pelo ambiente familiar) ou na completa insciência da natureza desta problemática (e.g., Al-Omari et al, 2015;Ghanizadeh, Bahredar, & Moeini, 2006). Ao invés, o conhecimento mais apurado dos professores acerca da origem da PHDA resultou em atitudes mais tolerantes para com estes alunos (e.g., Ohan et al, 2008).…”
