Abstract:
The educational area of primary education is faced with most issues and problems due to the linguistic, religious, and cultural diversity of students, which is constantly growing numerically. Suddenly, elementary schools have become places where students speak different languages with each other, bring different cultures and cultural elements due to their various countries of origin, and have special educational needs. Regardless of what the reasons are for a newly formed multicultural social reality, education as an essential institution of society in global, European, and local contexts is called upon to think about and find appropriate solutions, to initiate and implement actions to update itself, to change the educational philosophy, the general principles, its targeting by subject, the methodological-educational/teaching approaches, the educational material, printed and digital, and accordingly to train its teachers. The heterogeneity of the student population in terms of language, religion, or ethnicity is an indisputable fact for educational systems. During the educational process, we teachers are called to educate our students equally and equally, regardless of their country of origin and any of their differences, and this constitutes the pedagogical contract of morals and universal values for us. The goal of the current study is to gain an understanding of terms such as "identity," "stereotypes," and "prejudices," as well as therapeutic approaches used to help children from racial and ethnic minorities who are suffering from ADHD. These approaches include games using Computers.
