Students with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) are those who exhibit inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that interferes with their behaviour; have problems in self- regulation, inappropriate behaviour and poor socialization. These attributes of ADHD students do lead to aggressive behaviours in the classroom and need management strategies to handle them. This study, therefore, examined management strategies used by teachers in handling aggressive behaviours among students with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in inclusive classrooms in Ibadan Metropolis Nigeria. Survey research type was used. The respondents were 121 teachers purposefully. Management Strategies for Aggressive Behavior Questionnaire (r= 0.81) was used for data collection. One research question and one hypothesis tested at 0.05 significant levels were raised. Frequency, percentage, mean and t-test were used for data analysis. The study revealed that all the items in the questionnaire are the management methods were used by the teacher. Mutual apology, reconciling, peacemaking whenever there is aggressive behaviour (3.5), dialogue and encouragement (3.5); changing sitting position (3.5) top the ranking. The result also revealed no significant different between the management strategies used by male and female teachers in handling aggressive behavior among students with attention deficit hyperactive disorder in an inclusive classroom, Ibadan Metropolis Nigeria (P>0.05). Mutual apology, reconciling, peacemaking whenever aggressive behaviour is displayed, dialogue and encouragement; changing sitting position among others were used to handle aggressive behaviours among students with ADHD. Therefore, teachers should devise strategies and use combination of two or more management strategies available to ensure that aggressive behaviour among students with ADHD in inclusive classrooms will be reduced | ADEDAYO ADESOKAN(PHD) | VOLUME XLI, 2021 | INTERNATIONAL BASED | 2021-05-03 | ||
