The evaluation of the classroom environment of 9th-12th grade students in terms of attention deficit and hyperactivity deficit (ADHD)

In this study, it is aimed to identify the students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the classroom and to raise awareness of their families by giving them background information. It is also aimed to practise the appropriate teaching methods for the students with ADHD to increase their motivation and achievement. In this study, Conners' Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS) is used for the Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School students aged between 15 and 21 by the teachers. 150 students are evaluated by 6 teachers in acquiring the data. In this study, the correlation between ADHD and the districts where they live and the educational background of the parents is researched. In the analysis of the data, it is observed that the behaviours both of the students diagnosed with ADHD and the students who aren't diagnosed with ADHD are correlated with the educational background of the parents and the districts where they live. A correlation between the educational background of the mother and the district where they live has been found. However, no meaningful correlation between the educational background of the mother and the hyperactivity has been found. No correlation between the educational background of the father and the attention deficit has been found. However, a correlation between the educational background of the father and the hyperactivity has been found. A correlation between the district where they live and the hyperactivity has been found. However, no correlations between the district where they live and attention deficit has been found. The data analysis of this study is performed using the SPSS programme.
