  The study presents an examination of the attention of 4th and 8th grade students attending various schools in a county seat. The sample consisted of n=126 fourth and eighth grade students, including children with atypical development, who were given the Stroop test and the Pieron test. In addition, based on the results of a background questionnaire, we obtained information about their internet use and their assessment of their own attention. We analyzed our data using SPSS software, performing cross-tabulation, ANOVA, and correlation tests. Our results show that students misjudge their own attention performance. Those who use the internet more have better attention, and the correlation between the results of the two tests is low.

  As the Internet spreads, its disadvantages are also becoming more and more widespread, alongside its advantages. In this study, we examine the Internet usage habits of 14-18 year-old students with learning disabilities using a qualitative method, by asking the opinions of the teachers and special education teachers (n=8) who teach them. In the pilot study, we explore how and to what extent school and online bullying appears in the lives of students, and who is more often affected by such attacks. Based on the results of our research, according to the teachers, children with learning disabilities encounter offline bullying more often at school than online, with verbal and physical abuse being the most common. Gender, type of disability, specific characteristics, and family background are determinants of victimization. However, due to the small sample size in the pilot study, the results obtained are only of an attention-grabbing nature, and draw attention to the necessity of further research into the phenomenon.
