I interviewed 4, 4th grade students. There were 2 girls and 2 boys. All of these students have attention issues.
Their parents gave them permission to be interviewed.
- What helps you focus in class?
2 students said doing an activity that they thought was fun
1 student said medicine helps. "Without the medicine it's very hard for me."
2 students said that the teacher saying their name helps them focus
1 student said that looking at the teacher instead of others places
All students said that working someplace quiet or alone helps them
- What do you do to get yourself back on track?
Students said one or more of these things: ignore them, ask to move to another table, tell the teacher
the problem, ask the person to stop, try to listen to the teacher instead of what I'm thinking
- How do you learn best?
No two students had the same answer. Answers included:
-when the teacher works one-on-one with me
-by myself cause I get more done
-a group because when you need help they can help you
-when I'm with a group they goof around and then I goof around
