• In Event: Bridging Divides Through Literacy: Identity, Power, and Practice in International Contexts

Abstract

This study investigates the quality-of-service offered by the Learning Difficulties Programs (LDPs) in Oman from the perspective of teachers. Employing a descriptive approach, 329 teachers responded to a researcher-designed 49-item questionnaire assessing six key domains. The study identified a lack of coordination among stakeholders, including enrollment committee members, LD teachers, and school administrators. The study recommends enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, targeted professional development for teachers, and curriculum adjustments to improve the quality and effectiveness of LDPs.
