Simple view of reading across the transition from kindergarten to Grade 1 in a transparent orthography
2023
Purpose: This longitudinal study investigated the simple view of reading (SVR) model and its cognitive basis in a transparent orthography of the Lithuanian across the transition from kindergarten to Grade 1. Method: The language and early literacy skills of 229 children (Mage = 6.79, SD = .47) were tested at the end of kindergarten (vocabulary, letter knowledge, phonological awareness, and RAN); listening comprehension and word reading fluency were tested at the start of Grade 1; and reading comprehension was measured at the end of Grade 1. Results: Together with parental education, word reading fluency and listening comprehension predicted reading comprehension (R2 = 43.2%). The second mod…
Ogród terapeutyczny przy przedszkolu specjalnym jako przykład aktywnej formy hortiterapii
2021
Projekt ogrodu terapeutycznego przy przedszkolu specjalnym został stworzony z myślą o potrzebach terapeutycznych, których zaspokajanie odbywać miałoby się w formie zabawy i rekreacji. Starano się zastosować jak najlepsze rozwiązania koncepcyjne, dostosowane do różnych zaburzeń psychofizycznych, które łączone w formie terapii będą mogły być stosowane w jednym miejscu.Celem projektu było stworzenie miejsca przyjaznego i odpowiednio dostosowanego dla niepełnosprawnych wychowanków placówki. Obszar opracowania obejmował teren, który funkcjonalnie pełnił rolę rekreacyjną, jednak nie był w pełni dostosowany do potrzeb jego użytkowników. Głównym założeniem było stworzenie oddzielnych stref, których…

Motor differentiation's and cognitive skill in pre-scholar age
2019
ABSTRACT Little research has been produced about literacy readiness in Kindergarten children at risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), despite this age being one of the most important epoch of motor and cognitive development. In this study we compared pre-literacy skills in Kindergarten children at risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) with Typically Developing (TD) children. Participants were 26 Italian children, who had a mean age of 5.1 years, 13 at risk for DCD and 13 TD attending kindergarten schools. Pre-literacy abilities were measured trough tasks derived by the Italian PRCR-2 battery: Semi-circles (A and B), Letter identification and Object Naming Time. Ch…
Executive functions in kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder
2018
Executive functioning (EF) is a key cognitive process for development. Little is known about EF in Kindergarten children at risk for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), despite this age being one of the most critical and intensive period of motor and cognitive development. In our investigation we compared EF in kindergarten children at risk for DCD with Typically Developing (TD) children. Participants were 36 Italian children, 18 at risk for DCD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6 years and 18 TD (9 boys and 9 girls) who had a mean age of 4.6. Executive functions were measured by tasks targeting cold executive functioning (working memory, fluency, inhibitory control) and t…
From cars to bikes – the feasibility and effect of using e-bikes, longtail bikes and traditional bikes for transportation among parents of children a…
2017
Abstract Background The present study aims to increase bicycling and level of physical activity (PA), and thereby promote health in parents of toddlers, by giving access to different bicycle types. There is a need for greater understanding of e-bikes and their role in the transportation network, and further effects on PA levels and health. Moreover, longtail bikes could meet certain practical needs not fulfilled by e-bikes or traditional bikes, hence increased knowledge regarding their feasibility should be obtained. No previous studies have investigated whether providing an e-bike or a longtail bike over an extended period in a sample of parents of toddlers influence objectively assessed a…
Verso un curricolo 0-6: continuità, discontinuità e prospettive possibili a partire da un percorso di ricerca-azione nella città di Palermo
2021
A partire da una ricerca sulla costruzione di un possibile curricolo zero-sei, condotta con un gruppo di insegnanti di scuola dell’infanzia statale ed un gruppo di educatrici di un nido comunale operanti nello stesso territorio (un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo), l’articolo mira a mettere in luce e a problematizzare ambiti di continuità e di discontinuità tra i due servizi educativi collegandoli alla storia e alla cultura organizzativa dei servizi stessi. Intende, inoltre, riflettere su possibili proposte di cambiamento organizzativo nella direzione della continuità, attraverso l’adozione di una metodologia partecipativa centrata sulla autovalutazione riflessiva, sulla progettazio…
Kielirajat ylittävää kielipolitiikkaa ja toimintaa kieliparipäiväkodissa
2022
Kieliparipäiväkodit, -koulut ja -kampukset sekä kaksikielinen koulutus suomeksi ja ruotsiksi ovat herättäneet keskustelua jo reilun vuosikymmenen ajan. Kieliparitoiminta suomen- ja ruotsinkielisten yksiköiden välillä voi tarjota mahdollisuuksia monenlaiseen yhteistyöhön ja monikieliseen työskentelyyn. Samalla suomenkielisten määrällinen enemmistöasema voi aiheuttaa haasteita ennen kaikkea ruotsin kielen näkökulmasta, vaikka kielillä onkin sama asema kansalliskielinä. Väitöskirjassani tarkastelen erään kieliparipäiväkodin kielipolitiikkaa, kansallisten ohjausdokumenttien vaikutusta kielipolitiikkaan sekä päiväkodin varhaiskasvattajien kielellistä toimintaa. Tutkimustulokseni osoittavat, että…
A teacher-led motor programme to enhance pre-literacy and motor skills in kindergarten children
2020
Structured motor tasks may affect cognitive development by creating a cognitively challenging “enriched environment’, giving opportunity for social cooperation, increasing the joy to learn through play, improving the sense of mastery and competence. The study investigated the association between motor and cognitive exercises, through a teacher-led programme, to provide kindergarten children with the skills necessary for school literacy. Using a cluster-randomized trial design with an intervention group (N = 110) and a control group (N = 64), we examined the effects of a 3-month teacher-led motor programme enriched by executive function tasks. In the intervention group, significant gains wer…
