المستخلص

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى اکتشاف أنواع الدعم المختلفة التي تقدمها مؤسسات التعليم العالي في المملکة العربية السعودية لطلابها الذين تم تشخيص إصابتهم بصعوبة التعلم ، والتحقق من طبيعة التحديات التي يواجهها هؤلاء الطلبة ، بالإضافة إلى إکتشاف التحديات التي يواجهها المعلمون في مؤسسات التعليم العالي لتوفير الدعم اللازم لهم .تم جمع البيانات باستخدام الإستبانة کأداة للبحث والتي وزعت على (168) معلم ومعلمة في جامعة حکومية وجامعة خاصة في مدينة جدة و (25) طالب وطالبة من ذوي صعوبات التعلم. وبعد ذلک تم تحليل البيانات باستخدام برنامج رزمة التحليل الإحصائي (SPSS ) نسخة (24). وکشفت التحليلات الإحصائية أن الطلبة من ذوي صعوبات التعلم لا يحظون بالدعم الأکاديمي المطلوب ، وأن معظمهم يواجهون تحديات بعدم تلقي تغذية راجعة حول عملهم وکيفية تحسينه. وکشفت النتائج أيضًا أن معظم المعلمين لا يتم تزويدهم ببرامج التطوير المهني ليساعدهم على التعامل مع الطلبة الذين يعانون من صعوبات التعلم، هذا بالإضافة إلى عدم التواصل المناسب مع غيرهم من المعلمين لوصف الحالات المتاحة وطرق التعامل معها کما يلزم.
The number of students with Learning Disabilities (LD) is increasing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The context of this study constitutes around 5% of the student with disabilities population. This research aims to, a) discover the various types of support that higher education institutions (HEIs) in KSA provide to their students who are diagnosed with LD, b) investigate the nature of challenges that students with LD face, and c) examine the challenges that teachers in HEIs face in providing the support needed for students with LD. This research study involves one public and one private HEI in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This research study utilized questionnaires administered to 24 students with LD and 168 teachers in these institutions. Results revealed that these students are not provided with the needed academic support, and most of them do not even receive feedback on their work along with how to improve it. Results also revealed that most teachers are not provided with professional development programs for accommodating students with LD, and also not having proper communication with teachers to describe available cases along with ways to deal with them.
