Notes

Abstract:
This study examined teacher perceptions of common behaviors associated with deficits in executive functioning and the interventions commonly utilized to remediate these skills in the classroom. The term "executive functioning11 refers to attention, memory, shifting, organization, and emotional control. A survey was completed by one hundred and three PreK-8th grade teachers that investigated whether they perceive behaviors related to deficits in executive functioning to be purposeful actions of the student. No statistically significant results were found, thus, indicating that training in special education, biological basis of behavior, and psychology did not influence teacher perception of behaviors related to executive functioning. The most frequently used interventions for each skill are discussed.
