Assessing Learners' Learning Difficulties and Disorders from Primary Education:

Abstract

This article explores the assessment of learners' learning difficulties and disorders within the context of primary education in Algeria. As the foundational stage of education, primary schooling plays a crucial role in shaping children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. However, many students face various learning challenges that hinder their academic progress and overall well-being. This study employs qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the prevalence and nature of these difficulties, focusing on specific disorders such as dyslexia, ADHD, and other cognitive impairments. The research investigates the current assessment practices used by educators and identifies gaps in understanding and addressing these challenges. By analyzing case studies and interviewing teachers, parents, and educational psychologists, the article highlights the need for a more integrated approach to diagnosing and supporting affected learners. Ultimately, it advocates for enhanced training for educators, improved diagnostic tools, and the implementation of inclusive teaching strategies to foster a more supportive learning environment for all students in the Algerian school system.
