Prematurity and overlap between reading and arithmetic: The cognitive mechanisms behind the association
2019
It is well-known that very preterm children perform at lower levels than full-term children in reading and arithmetic at school. Whether the lower performance levels of preterm children in these two separate domains have the same or different origins, however, is not clear. The present study examined the extent to which prematurity is associated with the overlap (i.e., common variance) of reading and arithmetic among Finnish school beginners. We also examined the extent to which the association of prematurity with the overlap between reading and arithmetic is due to different prereading skills, basic number skills, and general cognitive abilities. The participants (age 6-7) consisted of 193…

2020
Diplomdarba “Lasītprasmes veicināšana 1. un 2. klašu skolēniem ar mācīšanās traucējumiem” autore ir Iluta Čukure. Diplomdarba mērķis ir teorētiski un empīriski izpētīt un pilnveidot lasītprasmi 1. un 2. klases skolēniem ar mācīšanās traucējumiem. Darbā tiek pētīta un analizēta teorētiskā literatūra par lasītprasmi, sākumskolas skolēnu vecumposma īpatnībām veseluma skatījumā un mācīšanās traucējumiem. Diplomdarba empīriskajā daļā tiek veikts novērojums, agrīnās lasītprasmes testa Dibel Next rudens un ziemas mērījumi, tie tiek analizēti un izstrādātas koriģējoši attīstošo nodarbību plāni turpmākās lasītprasmes veicināšanai. Nodarbību plāni tiek izvērtēti, izmantojot ekspertatzinuma metodi. An…
Ansiedad ante las ciencias y pruebas de evaluación científicas: efectos del nivel académico y género
2019
Resumen En este trabajo se hace una primera aproximación a la ansiedad de los estudiantes de secundaria ante las ciencias. Se han aplicado a 175 estudiantes de educación secundaria de diferentes cursos dos cuestionarios validados y una prueba de evaluación de competencias científicas. Un cuestionario mide la ansiedad ante diversos contextos científicos y el otro evalúa la ansiedad generada por una prueba de evaluación de ciencias. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos por medio de pruebas Anova evidencia que: a) la ansiedad ante situaciones científicas es mayor que en otras situaciones y disminuye significativamente con el aumento del nivel académico; b) la ansiedad generada en la prueba …
Autentiskie video materiāli skolēnu klausīšanās prasmju pilnveidei angļu valodas stundās 8. klasē
2022
Diplomdarbā tiek pētīts, kā iespējams pilnveidot 8. klases skolēnu klausīšanās prasmes, izmantojot autentiskos video materiālus angļu valodas stundās. Darbs sniedz ieskatu klausīšanās prasmju nozīmē komunikācijā un autentisko video materiālu izmantošanā angļu valodas stundās. Izvēlētā pētījuma metode bija gadījuma pētījums kādā no Latvijas vidusskolām. Skolēnu aptaujas, testi, skolēnu atsauksmes un intervijas ar trīs angļu valodas skolotājām tika izmantotas kā datu ieguves metodes. Iegūtie dati liecina, ka autentisku video materiālu izmantošana angļu valodas stundās, pozitīvi ietekmē skolēnu klausīšanās prasmes: skolēniem ir vieglāk saprast dažādus akcentus, viņus mazāk ietekmē fona troksni…
The outcomes of national literacy programs on basic reading skills in familiar language among Zambian early graders
2016
In Zambia the Ministry of General Education implemented two national literacy programs in order to improve low levels of reading; the Primary Reading Program (PRP) implemented from 1999 to 2014 and the Primary Literacy Program (PLP) piloted in some schools in 2014 before being scaled up. This research examines the acquisition of basic reading skills among learners in familiar languages at the end of grade 2 in the two national literacy programs. I examined assessment results separately for each program and compared the two with each other. Outcomes were observed on the basis of the Early Grade Reading assessment test battery given to random samples of children (n=393) in 40 schools from 4 d…
The role of parents' and teachers' beliefs in children's self-concept development
2016
This study examined to what extent parents' and teachers' beliefs about children's abilities predict children's self-concept of math and reading ability development during the first grade, and whether these predictions depend on the child's gender and level of performance. One hundred fifty-two children and their parents and teachers were followed across first grade. The results showed, first, that the associations between teachers' beliefs and children's subsequent self-concept of ability depended on the level of the children's performance. Among high-performers, the higher the teachers' beliefs about their students' abilities in reading or in math, the higher the subsequent level of self-…
Home Literacy Activities and Children’s Reading Skills, Independent Reading, and Interest in Literacy Activities From Kindergarten to Grade 2
2020
According to the Home Literacy Model (Sénéchal and LeFevre, 2002, 2014), young children can be exposed to two distinct types of literacy activities at home. First, meaning-related literacy activities are those where print is present but is not the focus of the parent–child interaction, for example, when parents read storybooks to their children. In contrast, code-related literacy activities focus on the print, for example, activities such as when parents teach their children the names and sounds of letters or to read words. The present study was conducted to expand the Home Literacy Model by examining its relation with children’s engagement in literacy activities at home and at school as Fi…
Assessment of no-reflow phenomenon by myocardial blush grade and pulsed wave tissue doppler imaging in patients with acute coronary syndrome
2014
Background: No-reflow phenomenon is a complication of myocardial revascularization and it is associated with a worse prognosis. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was carried out enrolling patients with acute myocardial infarction (64 patients, 49 male and 15 female, median age 64.9 ± 10.61 years), both STEMI and NSTEMI, who underwent myocardial revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). TIMI flow and Myocardial Blush Grade (MBG) were assessed at baseline (T0), in addition to tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and electrocardiogram. Cardiological evaluation was also performed at T1 (one month after PCI) and T2 (every year after revascularization for a mean follow-up …
T1HG Bladder Tumours: So Many Papers, Do We Need Them? Yes, We Do!
2009
“How many roads a man must walk on….” and how many papers we must read and write… to put down the final word on the appropriate management of high risk NMI-BC. Although it is more than 20 years that we take notice of promises on biological markers predictive of the behaviour of NMI-BC, till today we can only base our decisions on clinical and pathological data. Consequently, we need exchange of experiences and reports on the outcome of these patients. The aim of the treatment of T1 bladder tumours is to minimize mortality while assuring reduced morbidity and good quality of life. A conservative approach is, obviously, not applicable to all T1HG tumours. We need to identify unequivocal selec…
