چکیده

خلاصه

مقدمه: اختلال در ریاضیات عبارت است از ناتوانی در انجام مهارت­های مربوط به حساب با توجه به ظرفیت هوشی و سطح آموزشی که از کسی انتظار می­رود. پژوهش حاضر نیز با هدف تعیین اثربخشی درمان توانبخشی عصب- روانشناختی بر عملکرد توجه مستمر در دانش­آموزان با اختلال ریاضی انجام شد.

مواد و روش ­ها: طرح پژوهش حاضر به صورت نیمه آزمایشی با دو گروه آزمودنی بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش حاضر شهر تبریز در سال 1395 بود، و نمونه مورد نظر از مناطق پنجگانه اختلالات یادگیری انتخاب شدند. روش نمونه­گیری به صورت تصادفی ساده بود. بدین صورت که یک گروه 10 نفره شامل افراد مبتلا به اختلال یادگیری ریاضی و 10 نفر نیز شامل گروه گواه بود. یعنی افرادی که مبتلا به ناتوانی یادگیری هستند اما مداخله­ای برای آنها صورت نگرفت. تعداد جلسات درمانی 20 جلسه بود و هر جلسه 45 دقیقه به طول می­انجامید. ابزار پژوهش شامل برنامه کامپیوتری توانبخشی عصب- روانشناختی  Sound Smart و آزمون عملکرد پیوسته بود. تحلیل داده­ها با استفاده از تحلیل کوواریانس چند متغیره انجام شد.

یافته­ ها: بین میانگین نمره­های پیش­آزمون و پس­آزمون گروه آزمایش و کنترل تفاوت معنی­داری وجود داشت (001/0>p)، به نحوی که توانبخشی عصب- روانشناختی باعث بهبود توجه مستمر در دانش­آموزان مبتلا به ناتوانی یادگیری ریاضی گردید.

نتیجه ­گیری: این مطالعه نشان داد توانبخشی عصب- روانشناختی  می­تواند به عنوان یک روش اثربخش در افرادی که اختلال یادگیری ریاضی دارند مورد استفاده قرار بگیرد.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Dyscalculia is the disability to perform the skills related to calculation in consideration to intellectual capacity and educational level that is expected from a normal person. The current study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of neuropsychological rehabilitation treatment on the continuous attention function of students with dyscalculia.

Materials and Methods: The design of the present study was semi-experimental with two groups of 10 students from Tabriz city in 2016. The sampling method was simple randomization, in which a group of 10 students with mathematical learning disorder were chosen from five regions of the city with learning disorders and 10 students as a control group who had learning disability but without any therapeutic interventions.  The case group received twenty therapeutic sessions of 45-minute. The study instrument contained of computer program of neuropsychological rehabilitation (sound smart) and continuous function test. The data analysis was done using the multivariable covariance analysis.

Results: There were significant differences between the mean scores of the pretest and posttest of the experimental and control groups (p<0/001), so that the neuropsychological rehabilitation led to promotion of continuous attention in students with mathematical learning disorders.

Discussion: This study indicated that neuropsychological rehabilitation can be used as an effective method for people with mathematical learning disorders.
