TEACHER CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES IN IDENTIFYING LEARNING DIFFICULTIES OF DYSLEXIA IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

In the educational process at school, various obstacles often arise, especially when some students
experience difficulties in achieving the expected level of achievement. One common issue is
learning disabilities, such as reading difficulties. The success of students in following the learning
process is greatly influenced by their reading abilities. Therefore, the role of teachers is crucial in
improving students' reading skills. This research involves teachers and students with dyslexia.
Data collection methods include participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation,
and triangulation. The research results show that: (1) causes of dyslexia include internal and
external factors; internal factors include psychological and physiological aspects, while external
factors include family, school, and community environments; (2) challenges faced by teachers in
identifying dyslexia include time constraints, difficulties in differentiation, limited support
services, and communication challenges with students' parents; (3) teacher strategies in dealing
with dyslexia include using supportive teaching methods, providing additional time, and offering
supportive motivation.
