Data Collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on

targeted variables in an established systematic fashion which then enables one to
answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes. For the data collection we choose
25 samples. Sample given to 20 students for data collection. Samples are related to
stress, anxiety, lack of interest, intellectual problems and attention.

QUESTIONNAIRE:

Questionnaires are used for specialized studies. The questionnaire contain 25

questions. It contains both positive and negative statements. 10 positive statements
and 15 negative statements. It provide as yes or no questions.

ANALYSIS

From the collected data, a general background of the class could be rectified.
The study based on learning problems had done with 20 students. Among the 25
questions 15 questions are negative and 10 questions are positive statements questions
are created with 5 variables. Anxiety, stress, interest, intellectual problems and
attention. From the data, there were some children have learning problem in the class
they are at the range of below 25. But most of the students in the class have n o
learning problem. From the overall analysis it shows that the children are suffering
from stress, anxiety, attention etc.

CONCLUSION:

Learning problem is a classification that includes several areas of functioning

in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner. Usually caused by an
unknown factors. Lack of understanding of difference between learning disability may
lead to further problem. When a student takes too long to do their home works to
understand things when they dont like reading or dont like Maths, failing ensure
those are learning problems. When there is a cluster these learning problems will
become learning disability.
