    Teacher perspectives: the head injured student returns to school: a pilot study
    Berryman, Cally ( 1993)
    This exploratory research sets out to examine teachers' perspectives of teaching head injured students who had returned to regular schools after sustaining an accident or trauma. Thirty teachers from secondary and tertiary schools took part in the study. Qualitative and quantitative methods of research were utilised. The 30 secondary and tertiary teachers were interviewed and a questionnaire was used which was analysed by SPSSx package. The findings of the study indicated that years of teaching experience does not enable a teacher to cope better with teaching head injured students returning to their classes. The findings also indicate that teachers with special education are not prepared for teaching and dealing with head injured students.
