Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the use of autocratic style in classroom management by teachers of learning disabilities in English language in the light of some variables. The study population consisted of all (60) teachers in the upper basic stage in Irbid Governorate. The study sample consisted of (30) male and female teachers. The study used the descriptive approach and developed a questionnaire as an instrument to collect data. The results of the study showed that the mean scores of the paragraphs of the autocratic style domain ranged between (3.54-1.46). The first paragraph, "The teacher is keen to conduct the class routinely, according to the regulations and instructions", ranked first with a mean score of (3.54) and a standard deviation of (0.71). The fourth paragraph "The teacher mocks the students' opinions and ideas" came in the last rank, with a mean score of (1.46) and a standard deviation of (0.74). The total score for this field was (2.30) and with a standard deviation of (0.57). These results indicate that the estimates of the teachers of the upper basic stage for the degree of practicing the autocratic method were at a low degree.
