El compromiso con la tarea en el alumnado Con TDAH: análisis del tiempo de escritura digital

Main Article Content

Abstract

The evolution of new technologies and the recent situation of the Pandemic by COVID-19 have changed the conditions of educational teaching by moving mostly to digital teaching. The use of the computer has become a necessary tool for learning. Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have special difficulties in writing and written composition. This research aims to analyze the speed of writing (typed) in students with ADHD using the computer in different tasks. The sample consists of 48 children, aged between 8-12 years old, 24 form the group with ADHD and 24 the group with typical development (TD). The time spent writing are valued through a task of dictating phrases to be typed and with a social interaction chat-task in three moments, at the beginning, during and at the end of social chat. The results indicate that students with ADHD are significantly slower in the task of dictating phrases than the typical development group. However, the spent writing profile in the social chat-task is similar in both groups. The findings show that the writing time (typed) used by the student is related to the type of task, regardless of the complexity of the task. It is concluded that motivation toward homework is a crucial aspect of ADHD, which affects the variability of execution in digital tasks
