Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of self-monitoring attention on performance of students with specific learning difficulties in Continuous Operation Scale (CPT). The target population included all fourth, fifth and sixth grade students with specific learning disabilities in schools of Bilesavar in the academic years of 2012-2013 from which 32 students with math learning disability were selected using simple random sampling. Tools used in this study included: Researcher-made questionnaire, Raven's IQ test and continuous performance test. The research was a pilot study with clinical trial including a pre-test and a post-test done with a control group. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MACNOVA). Results showed that there were significant differences between two groups of students with specific learning disorders and the control group in the components of continuous operation scale. This means that, after self-monitoring training, continuous operation scale components in the experimental group improved. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that self-monitoring training increases attention maintenance of students with learning difficulties and it can be applied as an effective intervention method.
