본 연구는 국내 학습장애 관련 현장연구의 실태를 파악하는 데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에 적합한 것으로 판단되는 학습장애 관련 전국현장특수교육 연구논문 총 70편을 분석한 결과, 연구대상은 초등학생이 주를 이루었고, 선정기준은 불일치, 저성취 순이었으며 지능검사 및 기초학습기능검사를 가장 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구방법은 대부분 3-4명 이하의 대상으로 사전사후 비교하였고 두가지 이상의 검사로 연구설계의 단점을 보완하고자 하였다. 그리고 인지중심의 프로그램을 가장 많이 이용하였으며, 주로 정서행동과 읽기 영역에 관심이 많았다.

This study is intended to better look into an actual condition of the field studies on learning disabilities in Korea. Seventy korean field studies concerning LD that seemed to match well to the study purpose were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows : Researches were mainly aimed at elementary school students. The children were chosen primarily due to their discrepancy in achievements among school subjects, and low achievement level followed as another considerable reason. I.Q. test and Basic Learning Skill Test were the most popular assessment tools used for the researchers. In most cases, less than 3 or 4 children were studied as subjects and the effects were compared by preliminary and follow-up testings. Also researchers used more than 2 tests to offset any possible fault that might come up from poor study plan. Almost all the programs in the studies were focused on children``s intelligence and main interests in the studies were children``s emotional or behavioral area and reading skill.
