Özet:
A special learning disability is defined as difficulties in reading, writing, and performing
mathematical operations, despite having a normal or above-normal intelligence. Attention
deficit, reading difficulties, poor motor skills, writing problems, language problems, lack of
social skills, numerical skills, problems, and characteristics of children with specific learning
difficulties are seen as problems of information processing. In order to effectively support and
maintain the learning processes of children with SLD, it is important to use scientifically
based practices by teachers. There are many studies that report that the use of BDUs causes
positive effects and changes in the development of children affected by inadequacy. In other
words, research shows that if teachers correctly apply the teaching methods that they will use
in the education of children with SLD, these applications are effective applications that
support the development of children.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the opinions of teachers working with children diagnosed
with SLD about the scientifically based methods used by children with SLD in their
education. In the research, phenomenology method was used as one of the qualitative research
models. Phenomenology is a qualitative research method used to describe people's
understanding of a particular perception, situation, event or concept, their emotions,
perspectives and how they experience that perception, situation or event. In the research, the
data were collected by semi-structured interview technique. 47 Teachers working with
individuals with special learning disabilities and working in Special Education and
Rehabilitation Centers in Istanbul's districts participated in the study. The selection of the
participants was based on volunteerism and ‘easily accessible situation sampling’ was used
from the ‘purposeful sampling’ methods.
At the end of the research, it was concluded that although teachers take a positive approach to
scientifically based applications, find them useful and support them, their level of knowledge
about these applications is low and limited, and they also use these applications very rarely. It
is suggested that in-service trainings for these applications should be given taking into
account the findings obtained from the research, and that teachers should investigate these
applications and improve themselves in order to obtain accurate information about BDUs. It is
also recommended that courses for these applications be given during undergraduate studies.
