Teachers’ Knowledge of ADHD: Relevance of Training and Individual Perceptions // Conocimiento de los maestros sobre el TDAH: Relevancia de la formación y de las percepciones individuales

Abstract: The present study analyzes teachers' knowledge of ADHD and its relationship with different training and self-perceptive variables. The sample included 1278 teachers from 108 schools. Teachers' knowledge of ADHD ranged from low to moderate. In addition, it was observed that their knowledge of ADHD was related to variables such as having received formal, non-formal, and informal training in ADHD, as well as to their self-perceived knowledge of ADHD and self-perceived efficacy to teach children with ADHD.

“…However, item difficulties were predominantly methodologically acceptable as the values ranged (except for one item) between .05 and .95, with an average value of .30. Moreover, teachers' poor knowledge of ADHD is consistent with previous findings in this field (Ruhmland & Christiansen, 2017;Soroa et al, 2016). Nevertheless, a study with child and adolescent psychotherapists, who can be expected to possess solid knowledge of ADHD, supported methodologically acceptable item difficulties (Dort et al, in preparation).…”

“…Ohan, Cormier, Hepp, Visser, and Strain (2008) found that teachers with moderate and high knowledge levels of ADHD favoured educational and domestic support; these teachers were also found to perceive more benefit from changes in the classroom than those with low knowledge level. Unfortunately, several investigations have demonstrated that teachers' knowledge of ADHD is often poor and based on false information, which, in turn, contributes to negative perceptions of pupils with ADHD and counteracts the implementation of effective interventions (Ruhmland & Christiansen, 2017;Soroa, Gorostiaga, & Balluerka, 2016). Some teachers and schools participate in knowledge-based training sessions, but their participation does not seem to have resulted in the greater implementation of effective classroom interventions (Moore, Russell, Arnell, & Ford, 2017).…”

“…Several studies have recommended educational program intervention to improve teachers' knowledge about ADHD and consequently their practice with children having ADHD [3,12,17,18]. A recent study in Saudi Arabia highlighted the need to professional training to improve teachers' capabilities to diagnose and treat children with ADHD [19].…”

“…Ello refleja el papel relevante de estos profesionales y la necesidad de que posean la formación suficiente para participar en la detección e intervención con el alumnado aquejado de TDAH. En general, los estudios realizados sobre maestros constatan un moderado o bajo nivel de conocimientos (Anderson, Watt, Noble y Shanley, 2012;Sciutto et al, 2016;Soroa, Gorostiaga y Balluerka, 2016;Vereb y DiPerna, 2004), coincidiendo en señalar mayores carencias en lo que respecta a etiología del TDAH que al conocimiento de los síntomas básicos y su tratamiento. En la misma dirección se han venido orientando los resultados obtenidos al explorar los conocimientos de los futuros maestros, quienes presentan también carencias relevantes (Akram, Thomson, Boyter y McLarty, 2009;Bekle, 2004;Canu y Mancil, 2012;Jarque y Tárraga, 2009;Liang y Gao, 2016).…”

“…En el contexto español, la escasa investigación sobre conocimientos acerca del TDAH se ha centrado sobre los maestros en ejercicio (Jarque et al, 2007;Martínez et al, 2014;Soroa et al, 2016), o bien en la comparación de sus conocimientos con los que poseen maestros en formación (Jarque y Tárraga, 2009). Sin embargo, no hemos encontrado estudios sobre los conocimientos de otros profesionales presentes en nuestros centros escolares.…”
