Worldwide, 3.0–7.0 percent of school‐aged children meet criteria for a diagnosis of Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In Saudi Arabia, ADHD appears to be more prevalent than the worldwide average, with estimates of 12.6–16.7 percent. Unfortunately, there is a relative dearth of research addressing ADHD and related training programs in Saudi Arabia. We investigated perceptions of teachers in Saudi elementary schools regarding current In‐Service Education and Training (INSET) programs addressing students diagnosed with ADHD. We interviewed 40 teachers (15 women and 25 men) from public elementary schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The findings highlight the need to develop INSET programs specifically addressing best practices for managing and educating students diagnosed with ADHD.

沙特教师对在职教育和培训的关注点-解决注意力不足/多动症

在世界范围内，3.0-7.0％的学龄儿童符合诊断为注意力缺陷/多动症（ADHD）的标准。在沙特阿拉伯，注意力缺陷多动症似乎比世界平均水平更为普遍，估计为12.6％至16.7％。不幸的是，在沙特阿拉伯，针对注意力缺陷多动症和相关培训计划的研究相对较少。我们调查了沙特小学教师对当前针对诊断为ADHD的学生的在职教育和培训（INSET）计划的看法。我们采访了沙特阿拉伯吉达公立小学的40位老师（15位女性和25位男性）。研究结果突出表明，有必要制定INSET计划，专门解决管理和教育被诊断患有ADHD的学生的最佳实践。
