- W103671812 abstract "This research investigates cultural differences and similarities in theperceptions of four British Pakistani and four British white children agedeleven with learning difficulties. This is pursued through four main aims thatexamine how aware pupils are of their learning difficulties; how they and theirsignificant others perceive their learning difficulties; how they respond to keylabels used to refer to them; and to what extent there are cultural differencesand similarities between the two groups of pupils. This work has been carriedout because there is currently limited research in this area. The pupils’ viewsare explored in two contrasting Bradford (West Yorkshire) primary schoolswhere the cultural population is either predominantly Pakistani or white.A variety of data collection methods, including semi-structured interviews, aself-image profile, focus group interviews and observations have been used tocollect data. The findings indicate that there are more commonalities betweenthe Pakistani and white cultures than there are differences, for examplealthough Pakistani and white children enjoy coming to school and want to dowell, they are unhappy, embarrassed, and humiliated about having a learningdifficulty and hence face these additional pressures in school. Pakistanichildren expressed more of an interest in attending university and thenembarking on professional careers compared to white children.Peers of average/higher ability perceive children with learning difficulties tobe more prone to bullying, slow learners, unpopular and these peers have lowexpectations of what the children with learning difficulties are able to do. Staffview children with learning difficulties as lacking in confidence and selfesteem,experiencing unhappiness, having a low self-image, working at aslower pace and often lacking motivation.The implications of this research indicate that schools needs to raise the selfesteemand confidence of children with learning difficulties, so that thesechildren are able to view their learning difficulty in a positive way. Schoolsneed to be aware of the pressures that children in the low ability groups face,and schools therefore need to maintain a balance in providing children with abasic skills curriculum matched to the individual needs of children and yetcontinue to promote their personal development and well-being." @default.
