Background of the study
Learning disabilities (LDs) refer to a variety of challenges that students face in processing information, which can hinder their ability to learn in a traditional educational setting (Musa & Lawal, 2023). Early identification of learning disabilities is crucial to ensuring that affected students receive the necessary support and accommodations to succeed academically. In Gombe Local Government Area, secondary schools often lack efficient systems for identifying learning disabilities, which can result in delayed intervention and missed opportunities for early support.
A learning disability identification system can use a combination of diagnostic tools, teacher assessments, and student performance data to identify students at risk of having learning disabilities. With the advent of technology, such a system can be automated and streamlined, making it easier for teachers to track students' progress and pinpoint potential issues early. This study aims to design and implement an automated system that will help secondary schools in Gombe Local Government Area identify students with learning disabilities and provide timely support.
Statement of the problem
Secondary schools in Gombe Local Government Area lack an efficient and systematic approach to identifying learning disabilities among students. Without a structured identification process, students with LDs may continue to struggle academically without receiving the necessary interventions. This study seeks to design and implement a digital learning disability identification system to address this gap and improve educational outcomes for affected students.
Objectives of the study
To design a learning disability identification system for secondary schools in Gombe Local Government Area, Gombe State.
To implement the system in selected secondary schools in Gombe and assess its effectiveness in identifying learning disabilities.
To evaluate the impact of the system on the timely intervention and support for students with learning disabilities.
Research questions
How effective is the learning disability identification system in identifying students with learning disabilities in secondary schools in Gombe Local Government Area?
What impact does the system have on the early intervention and support provided to students with learning disabilities?
How do teachers and school administrators perceive the effectiveness of the learning disability identification system?
Significance of the study
The study will provide insights into the design and implementation of learning disability identification systems, offering a model that can be adopted by other regions. The findings will also contribute to improving educational outcomes for students with learning disabilities in Gombe Local Government Area by ensuring timely support and interventions.
Scope and limitations of the study
The study will focus on designing and implementing the learning disability identification system in secondary schools in Gombe Local Government Area. The research will not include other regions or educational levels beyond secondary schools.
