Análise da percepção dos professores sobre os factores que influenciam para os problemas de aprendizagem dos alunos da 4ª e 5ª classes da Escola primária completa de Luís Cabral

Abstract

The general objective of this study was to “analyze teachers’ perceptions of the factors that influence learning problems among students in the 4th and 5th grades of the Luís Cabral Primary School”. A mixed approach was adopted with a qualitative and descriptive emphasis, based on a case study. Data collection was carried out through interviews and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results indicated that most teachers have a clear understanding of learning problems, identifying them as difficulties in the acquisition, retention and use of general skills, as well as issues related to family attention, assimilation and understanding, although some confuse them with SEN. The results also reveal that teachers understand the following as factors that contribute to learning problems: lack of interest in studies, mental disorders, lack of support from parents and guardians, involvement in street vending activities to support the family, mental disorders, physical disabilities and economic problems resulting from parental abandonment. Recommendations include a deeper understanding of learning problems, distinguishing them from special educational needs, as well as implementing a study routine at home and regularly investing time to help students with their schoolwork.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
