|a This study investigated whether African American male students with learning disabilities placed in the special diploma track and those placed in the regular diploma track, differed significantly in their social skills, problem behavior, and academic competence as perceived by their teachers. Ninety African American male students with learning disabilities from four Dade County Senior High Schools participated in this project Teachers’ ratings of social skills, problem behavior, academic competence were done using the Social Skills Rating System. Participants were classified into two distinct groups according to their placement in either the Regular Diploma Group or the Special Diploma Group Preliminary i- tests revealed that the regular diploma group did not differ significantly from the special diploma group in SES and age, but differed significantly in IQ Pearson r correlations revealed a highly moderate positive correlation between social skills and academic competence, a highly moderate negative correlation between social skills and problem behavior and a moderate negative correlation between problem behavior and academic competence. Three separate Analyses of Covariance (ANCOVA) were conducted on social skills, problem behavior and academic competence, controlling for IQ differences. Results revealed that the two groups did not differ significantly in social skills and problem behavior, but differed significantly in academic competence. |
