ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING DISABILITIES FOR FUTURE IMPLICATIONS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

Abstract

The study in hands aimed to assess the learning disabilities of physical education students and to suggest future implications. The study population comprised all the sports sciences and physical education students at the Punjab Lahore, Pakistan University. Thus, three hundred students were taken as samples using available sampling techniques. For the collection of data, a Likert-type scale comprised of questions about four different learning disabilities, i.e. dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia and dyslexia. The collected data were processed through the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, version-26); thus, appropriate statistical tools were used for analysis. After data analysis, the researcher concluded that dyscalculia as a learning was found to be the most common learning problem among the students. Based on the conclusion, the researcher recommended that sports sciences and physical education students need special attention in mathematical activities compared to all other academic subjects.
