Brainstorming Strategy, Memory Disorders and Learning Disabilities.Abstract
The present study aimed to identify the effect of the brainstorming strategy in the treatment of some memory disorders among special learners in Saudi Arabia. The researcher followed a semi-experimental approach to achieve the goals of research. The sample consisted of primary school students who had been identified as having learning difficulties. The control group was taught in a traditional way. Both validity and reliability of the tools were checked by the researcher. The results revealed significant differences between pre and post measurements of the performance of the group which had been exposed to brainstorming strategy. The results also showed significant differences between the mean scores obtained by students of both control and experimental groups.
