Sažetak
Introduction and goal: The COVID-19 pandemic has set challenges in classroom teaching and online teaching, especially for students with learning difficulties. The aim of this paper was to compare the number of students with learning difficulties educational programs in secondary schools in the City of Samobor, in the school year 2017/18. and 2021/22. Participants and methods: We analyzed the medical documentation of students with learning difficulties educational programs of all secondary schools in the City of Samobor through the School Medicine Service of the Zagreb County Institute of Public Health Data were entered into a Microsoft Excel file and analyzed by descriptive statistics methods, and presented at a significance level of P <0.05. Results: From the total number of students in secondary schools in Samobor, school year 2017/18. (N = 1145) there were 89 (7.77%) students with learning difficulties educational programs, and in 2012/22. (N = 1238) significantly more, 167 of them (13.49% ; P <0.001). In both school years, there were significantly more boys with learning difficulties educational programs compared to girls, 2017/18. 67.4% vs 32.6% ; P = 0.01 and 2021/22. 64.7% vs 35.3% ; P = 0.01. The largest number of students with learning difficulties educational programs in both school years were educated through individualized education regular program (69.7% and 73.1%) and through the regular program with content adjustment (29.2% and 24.6% of students). In both observed school years, most students with learning disabilities were in three-year vocational school (76.4% and 62.9%), followed by four-year vocational school (21.3% and 31.1%), while the least were in high school (2.2% and 6.0%). Conclusion: The results showed a significant increase in the number of students with learning difficulties educational programs in secondary schools in Samobor, in the school year 2021/22. compared to 2017/18 which can be linked to current multiple life and schooling crisis issues. These results indicate an increased need for care and learning assistance for students with learning difficulties, with an emphasis on early detection, intervention and on time support and treatment of existing learning difficulties.
