چکیده

از آنجا که عملکرد تحصیلی کودکان دچار اختلال نقص‌توجه/بیش‌فعالی در زمینه ریاضی و حیطه‌های مربوط به ریاضی تحت تأثیر اختلال ایشان قرار می‌گیرد و امروزه روش آموزشی خودتنظیمی برای رفع مشکلات این کودکان تجویز می‌شود، لذا پژوهش حاضر با هدف مطالعه اثربخشی آموزش خودتنظیمی بر توجه انتخابی، ادراک فضایی و استدلال ریاضی در کودکان مبتلا به نقص‌توجه/ بیش‌فعالی دوره ابتدایی در سال تحصیلی 1401 صورت گرفت. روش پژوهش، به لحاظ هدف، کاربردی و به لحاظ ماهیت داده‌های گردآوری‌شده، کمّی و مبتنی بر رویکرد شبه آزمایشی (طرح پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون با گروه گواه) بود. جامعه آماری متشکل از تمامی کودکان پسر مبتلا به نقص توجه/بیش فعالی سنین 9 تا 12 سال (سال چهارم تا ششم) در شهر کرج بوده که در بازۀ زمانی 4 ماهه اول سال 1401 به مراکز مشاوره و یا روان‌پزشکی مراجعه داشتند و درنهایت به روش نمونه گیری تصادفی چندمرحله‌ای 30 دانش‌آموز انتخاب و به‌صورت تصادفی در گروه‌های آموزش خودتنظیمی و گواه تقسیم شدند. بـرای جمع‌آوری داده‌ها از پرسش‌نامه خرده‌آزمون پردازش دیداری-فضایی از هوش‌آزمای نوین تهران-استانفورد-بینه، نسخه پنجم، آزمون توجه انتخابی و خرده آزمون استدلال ریاضی هوش‌آزمای نوین تهران-استانفورد-بینه، نسخه پنجم استفاده شد. برای گروه آزمایش آموزش در 10 جلسه (45 دقیقه‌ای و 2 بار در هفتــه) آموزش داده شد و گروه کنترل در حین جلسات، آموزشی را دریافت نکردند. داده‌ها در دو سطح توصیفی (میانگین و انحراف معیار) و استنباطی (تحلیل کوواریانس تک و چند متغیره) با نرم‌افزار SPSS-24 و  AMOS- 21 تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که آموزش خودتنظیمی تنها بر روی استدلال ریاضی کودکان تأثیر داشته است. بر این اساس مهارت خودتنظیمی را می‌توان در دنیای واقعی به کودکان مبتلا به نقص‌توجه/بیش‌فعالی آموزش داد تا این کودکان را برای ورود به دنیای اجتماعی واقعی، پیچیده و نامتجانس خارج از مدرسه آماده شوند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction
Since the academic performance of children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder in math and math-related areas is affected by their disorder, and nowadays self-regulation training method is prescribed to solve the problems of these children, therefore, the present study aims to study the effectiveness of self-regulation training on selective attention. , spatial perception and mathematical reasoning in elementary school children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder was conducted in the academic year 2022.
 
Method
The research method was practical in terms of purpose and quantitative in terms of the nature of the data collected and based on a quasi-experimental approach (pre-test-post-test design with control group). The statistical population consisted of all boys suffering from attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder aged 9 to 12 years (4th to 6th year) in Karaj city who referred to counseling or psychiatric centers during the first 4 months of 1401. 30 students were randomly divided into self-regulated and control training groups. To collect data, the visual-spatial processing subtest questionnaire from the Tehran-Stanford-Binet Modern Intelligence Test, fifth edition, the selective attention test, and the mathematical reasoning subtest of the Tehran-Stanford-Binet Modern Intelligence Test, fifth edition, were used. For the experimental group, training was given in 10 sessions (45 minutes and 2 times a week) and the control group did not receive training during the sessions. The data were analyzed at two descriptive levels (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (single and multivariate covariance analysis) with SPSS-24 and AMOS-21 software.
 
Results
As the results of show, the F values in the variables of selective attention (p=0.16, F=1.90) and visual-spatial perception (p=0.18, F=1.74) were not significant, but F in the solution variable Combined problems (p=0.002, F=7.10) are significant. According to the results, there is a significant difference between the average post-test scores of the mathematical reasoning variable, after checking the scores of the pre-tests, in the test and control groups. Also, according to the effect size, self-regulation training had a 27% effect on mathematical reasoning.
 
Discussion
Self-regulatory skills are critical to the development of math abilities because multiple self-regulatory skills are employed when children attempt to solve math problems. Specifically, children must maintain their attention on relevant information (attentional focus) and keep it in mind while solving a broader math problem (memory work). Inhibitory control is employed when children need to ignore salient yet extraneous information and inhibit counterproductive strategies or incorrect responses. Self-regulatory behavioral measures using multiple self-regulatory skills have also shown a positive relationship with math achievement.
