Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and their Teachers: A review of the literature (2006, background): “However, it is apparent from past studies that teachers’ knowledge of ADHD is not particularly high (e.g., Jerome et al., 1994; Kos et al., 2004; Sciutto et al., 2000; West et al., 2005), meaning that teachers may pass incorrect information on to others (DiBattista & Shepherd, 1993).”
Does knowledge about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder impact teachers' reported behaviors and perceptions? (2008, background): “For example, Bekle (2004) recently asked practicing and student teachers in Perth, Australia, to complete Jerome et al.’s (2004) ADHD knowledge questionnaire, and then to rate how favorable they view students with ADHD on a scale from “unfavorable” to “favorable.””
Knowledge of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attitudes toward teaching children with ADHD: THE role of teaching experience (2012, background): “Pre-service teachers’ highest scoring subscale was causes of ADHD, similar to West et al.’s (2005) in-service group, whereas current in-service teachers scored highest on characteristics.”
