Abstract:
For the purpose of providing answers to the problems that students are having with their education. Researchers in Kwara State's Ilorin West LGA looked into educators' understanding of Dyslexia and how they evaluate students with the learning disability. The survey method used was a descriptive one. In order to gather this information, we gave the teachers the Teachers' Knowledge for Dyslexia Test (TKDT). Teachers of students with special needs verified the accuracy of the test. The dependability level of.81 was determined using PPMC. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, percentage, frequency count, and ANOVA were used to analyse the data obtained and test for the study questions posed at the 0.05 significance level. A number of findings were made, including that there was no statistically significant difference in teachers' knowledge of students with Dyslexia by level of education (F (2; 287) =.120; P > 0.05). The results indicate that educators' understanding of students with dyslexia is limited at best. There was a recommendation that educators be pushed to participate in ongoing professional development.
