This study inspected factors that energized and upheld scholarly accomplishment for understudies determined to have ADHD. Understudies with ADHD are frequently not scholastically fruitful and don't move on from secondary school, due in an enormous measure to ADHD side effects of (I) hasty and careless ways of behaving, (ii) estrangement from soul mates including friends, and (iii) complication. The outcomes showed that all understudies in the review had been in danger of scholarly disappointment in light of their hastiness and social distance but completely were fruitful in secondary school. Understudies credited their school accomplishment to (I) their own creating inward locus of control, (ii) the development of adapting abilities and methodologies, (iii) predictable inclusion and backing by their folks which incorporated the whole family's capacity to acclimate to and oversee pressure, and (iv) the positive impact of no less than one caring instructor.

This study compared the high school academic experience of adolescents with and without childhood ADHD using data from the Pittsburgh ADHD Longitudinal Study (PALS). Participants were 326 males with childhood ADHD and 213 demographically similar males without ADHD who were recruited at the start of the follow-up study. Data were collected yearly from parents, teachers and schools. The current study used assessment points at which the participants were currently in or had recently completed grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. Results indicated that adolescents with ADHD experienced significant academic impairment in high school relative to comparison adolescents, including lower overall and main academic subject grade point averages (GPA), lower levels of class placement (e.g. remedial vs. honors), and higher rates of course failure. In addition, teacher reports indicated that adolescents with ADHD completed and turned in a significantly lower percentage of assignments and were significantly less likely to be working up to their potential. Adolescents with ADHD were also significantly more likely to be absent or tardy during the academic year, and they were over eight times more likely than adolescents without ADHD to drop out of high school. These findings demonstrate that children with ADHD continue to experience severe academic impairment into high school. Keywords ADHD. Adolescence. Academic achievement. High school Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a commonly diagnosed childhood disorder that is associated with serious impairments in school performance in childhood (Loe and Feldman 2007; Raggi and Chronis 2006). In recent years, ADHD has come to be viewed as a chronic disorder, with significant diagnostic continuity between ADHD in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood (Barkley et al. 2002; Claude and Firestone 1995; Hart et al. 1995). It is well known that children diagnosed with ADHD have a variety of problems in adolescence, including greater likelihood of delinquency and substance use (Loeber et al. 1997; Molina and Pelham 2003; Sibley et al. 2010b). Relatively less information is available about academic functioning for adolescents compared to children with ADHD (Frazier et al. 2007). Considering the importance of secondary school functioning to long-term outcome, it is critical to understand how these students function academically during adolescence (Finn 2006). Children with ADHD often exhibit specific deficits in the academic setting, including difficulty with organiza

The purpose of this study was to examine perspectives on childhood, coping methods and reasons for deciding to major in education among undergraduates with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While the experiences of children and adolescents with ADHD have been the focus of much research, empirical evidence is lacking regarding the experiences of education students with this disorder. This research seeks to correct this lacuna and in particular to shed light on what motivates students to return to a setting they experienced as so difficult and complex. We used qualitative-phenomenological research methods to examine 30 education students diagnosed with ADHD. Complex childhood experiences emerged during the course of the research. The study participants noted difficulties in remaining attentive, a high level of distractibility, a heightened need to move around and a lack of focus. These symptoms caused them difficulties at school, harmed their self-image and left them with feelings of frustration, failure and jealousy towards their classmates. The participants raised mainly altruistic considerations in explaining why they chose the teaching profession, alongside a negative view of the education system.

This article presents results from two interrelated studies. The first study conducted a meta-analysis of the published literature since 1990 to determine the magnitude of achievement problems associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Effect sizes were significantly different between participants with and without ADHD (sample weighted r = .32, sample weighted d = . 71; p = .001). Effects were also examined according to the moderators of age, gender, achievement domain (reading, math, spelling), measurement method (standardized tests vs. grades, parent/teacher ratings, etc.), sample type (clinical vs. nonclinical), and system used to identify ADHD (DSM-III-R vs. DSM-IV). Significant differences emerged from the moderator comparisons. The second study, using averaged effect sizes from the first study as a baseline for comparison, investigated achievement levels for an understudied age group with ADHD, namely, college students. Unlike previous studies at the college level, the sample incorporated both student and parent ratings (N = 380 dyads). The results were comparable to outcomes from the meta-analysis for college students and adults. Analyses demonstrated modest (R = .21) but meaningful predictive validity across 1 year to end-of-first-year grades. However, unlike earlier studies with children and adolescents, student ratings were as predictive as parent ratings. Findings are discussed in terms of the impact of moderator variables on ADHD and achievement.

Objectives. To review existing literature about university students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Methods. A framework for scoping studies and content analysis were used to source and review selected publications from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and relevant bibliographies. Results. Seventy-four publications were reviewed and key findings were categorised under six core themes that represent the issues germane to university students with ADHD. These themes are: academic, social and psychological functioning, giftedness, new media technologies, treatment, substance misuse and the non-medical use of prescription stimulants, and malingering. Conclusion. In Ireland and the United Kingdom (UK) young people with ADHD are unlikely to enrol into further education, and of those who do go to university, few will graduate at the same time as their non-ADHD peers. ADHD is associated with poor educational outcomes and it may be a hidden disability within institutions of higher education (e.g. universities). Surprisingly, in this topic area, there is a paucity of research in Ireland and the UK. Most studies originate from North America were research activity in the field has been ongoing since the 1990s. These studies however, tend to use relatively small samples of college (university) students recruited at a single institution. It is difficult to generalise the findings of these studies to student populations in North America, let alone in Ireland and the UK. At the very least, these North American studies provide insights into key areas of concern. This topic area straddles education and psychiatry. This means an inter-disciplinary approach is required to examine, better understand and address the impact of ADHD on the educational outcomes of university students. The philosophies of difference, equity and self-realisation can offer a conceptual framework for conducting further research and/or developing services to deliver more personalised learning support for university students with ADHD.

This study explored factors associated with success of college students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Forty-four students diagnosed with ADHD at the University of Alabama completed a 107-item survey pertaining to issues associated with ADHD symptomology, planning and scheduling of activities, study habits, focusing of attention, comorbidity of other learning difficulties, social relationships, help-seeking, and self-efficacy. The study found three factors were associated with success (as measured by grade point average) : age (older students did better), feelings of self-confidence, and basic student responsibilities (the ability to plan and follow a sequenced schedule of activities). The study also found that students with additional learning disabilities were no more or less successful than other ADHD students. Students diagnosed with ADHD by age 15 had greater difficulty in reading and less difficulty in memorizing. Assistance at the high school and college levels was not related to academic success for these students. A statistical analysis of each survey item is attached. (Contains 14 references.) (DB)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of teachers' knowledge about ADHD at two points in time. In the last few years there has been growing international interest in the psycho-educational support of teachers in the classroom with children with ADHD and this work is unique to the published UK literature to date.
This study was aimed to eight university professors from the language department of the public Costa Rican university under consideration. A questionnaire and a liker scale were utilized to observe and analyze the college professor’s experience in classroom’s environment with ADHD students and to observe their attentiveness toward ADHD curricular modifications and this issue in general. Consequently, professors’ level of attention toward ADHD was classified into four categories: their level of experience, teaching techniques, general knowledge and personal point of view toward this topic. Generally, these findings show that only few of them have taken a previous training on the ADHD concern and curricular modifications as well. Therefore, even when they have generally a positive attitude toward ADHD students, many of them do not have enough knowledge to satisfy the necessities of ADHD students. Nevertheless, all professors show their willingness to take such training if the institut...
