Özet:

This study aims to identify the status of sixth-class students with special learning difficulties in terms of the scientific process skills. The method of scan of quantum research methods was used in the research. Qualitative and quantitative data collection resources have been used together in the collection, analysis and interpretation of the data obtained in the research. The research work group consists of three classes with students studying in the sixth grade in a state school in the province of Giresun, affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the 2018-2019 academic year, and three classes with students experiencing private learning difficulties, thirty teachers entering the classes in these classes and two guiding teachers of the school. The research has used the "Scientific Process Skills Scale" developed by Aydoğdu and his colleagues (2012) to measure students' scientific process skills. However, the opinions on the social skills of students with special learning difficulties of teachers who form the quality data of the research were obtained through unstructured interviews. While the analysis of quantitative data obtained from the study uses frequency, percentage and average values, teachers’ opinions about students with particular learning difficulties were studied by an image analysis method. Students with special learning difficulties have been shown to be higher in terms of some scientific process skills than other students in classrooms. As a result, students with special learning difficulties are recognized while identifying their reading and writing and arithmetic skills as well as their scientific process skills are also considered important to be included in this recognition.
