Disleksija, kā skolēni ar disleksiju var labāk mācīties skolā
2021
Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir definēt disleksiju, noteikt disleksijas raksturīgās iezīmes, izglītot skolotājus, lai viņi ikdienā saskartos ar skolēniem, kuriem ir šāds traucējums, spētu palīdzēt viņiem mācību procesā un, galvenokārt, paaugstināt viņu pašcieņu, un likt viņiem justies apmierinātiem ar sevi, izmantojot mūsdienās pieejamos tehnoloģiskos resursus. Šim nolūkam tika izmantota racionāla metode. Pētījuma dalībniece ir 12 gadus veica meitene no Limas, kas atrodas Perū, un viņas skolotāji, kuri tika konsultēti un atbalstīti. Šai meitenei nesen tika diagnosticēta disleksija. Iepriekš tika noteiktas vairākas nepareizas diagnozes. Rezultātā svarīgi bija izprast viņas vājās un stiprās puses…
[Psychocognitive and psychiatric disorders associated with developmental dyslexia: A clinical and scientific issue].
2008
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Dyslexia is a complex neurodevelopemental disorder that affects 5 to 10% of school-age children. This condition consists in a specific learning disability with a neurological origin. These learning difficulties are unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of efficient classroom instruction. A range of neurobiological investigations suggests that disruption of the parieto-temporo-occipital systems underlies a failure of skilled reading to develop. The observation that dyslexia is both a familial and heritable problem was made early on and was confirmed by twin studies. They also suggested that both genetic and environmental factors are invo…
Children at risk for dyslexia show deficient left-hemispheric memory representations for new spoken word forms
2021
Developmental dyslexia is a specific learning disorder with impairments in reading and spelling acquisition. Apart from literacy problems, dyslexics show inefficient speech encoding and deficient novel word learning, with underlying problems in phonological processing and learning. These problems have been suggested to be related to deficient specialization of the left hemisphere for language processing. To examine this possibility, we tracked with magnetoencephalography (MEG) the activation of the bilateral temporal cortices during formation of neural memory traces for new spoken word forms in 7–8-year-old children with high familial dyslexia risk and in controls. The at-risk children impr…
Conocimientos de los maestros acerca de la dislexia del desarrollo: implicaciones educativas
2016
ResumenEl propósito del estudio es investigar los conocimientos, las creencias erróneas y las lagunas de conocimiento de los profesores sin experiencia y de los profesores con experiencia de España, con relación a áreas específicas sobre la dislexia del desarrollo: información general, síntomas/diagnóstico y tratamiento, así como su relación con variables sociodemográficas. Ciento dieciocho profesores sin experiencia y 110 profesores con experiencia completaron la Escala de Conocimientos y Creencias sobre la Dislexia del Desarrollo (KBDDS). Los resultados indican que los conocimientos de los profesores con experiencia fueron significativamente mejores que los de los profesores sin experienc…
It's a jungle out there : a material package for supporting students with dyslexia in foreign language classrooms in upper secondary school
2017
Lukivaikeus on yksi yleisimmistä oppimisen vaikeuksista ja koskettaa myös suurta osaa lukiolaisista. Suuressa osassa lukioita ei kuitenkaan tarjota erillistä erityisopetusta, vaan tukimuodot rajoittuvat lukivaikeusdiagnoosin saaneilla lähinnä lisäaikaan kokeissa. Täten vastuu mahdollisen tuen antamisesta on tällä hetkellä aineenopettajalla. Aineenopettajakoulutukseen ei kuitenkaan sisälly kattavaa tietoa oppimisen vaikeuksista, ja siksi olemme koonneet tähän tutkielmaan ja materiaalipakettiin tietoa lukivaikeuden vaikutuksista vieraan kielen opiskeluun. Tämän vuoksi tutkielmamme tarkoituksena on antaa lukion opettajille tiivis katsaus lukivaikeuteen sekä sen ilmenemiseen ja tukemiseen erity…
Trajectories of reading development: A follow-up from birth to school age of children with and without risk for dyslexia
2006
In order to understand why some children are vulnerable to difficulties in their language development and their acquisition of reading skill, the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Dyslexia followed 200 Finnish children from birth to school age. Half of these children had a family history of reading problems and were considered at risk for dyslexia; the other half were not at risk. A novel analysis, mixture modeling, revealed four subgroups with differential developmental trajectories to early reading. The subgroups who showed either a “dysfluent trajectory” (n = 12; 11 at risk vs. 1 control) or a “declining trajectory” (n = 35; 24 vs. 11) contained more children with familial risk for dyslexi…
The play and language behavior of mothers with and without dyslexia and its association to their toddlers' language development.
2004
The play and language behavior of mothers with ( n = 49) and without ( n = 49) specific reading disabilities (RD) was investigated during play with their 14-month-old children. The contribution of maternal behavior to the language development of their children was examined. The children's receptive and expressive language skills were assessed longitudinally at 14, 18, and 30 months, using the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories and the Reynell Developmental Language Scales. Children with and without familial risk for RD did not differ from each other in any play or language measures at these ages. No group differences were found for mothers' manifestations of nonsymbolic play a…
Resolving reading disability : Childhood predictors and adult-age outcomes
2018
We examined frequency of adult-age reading disability (RD) and its childhood predictors among 48 adults (20 to 39 years) with documented childhood RD, and contrasted their cognitive skills, education, and employment with 37 matched controls. Among individuals with childhood RD, more than half had improved in their reading fluency to the level where the set criterion for adult-age RD was not met anymore. More fluent rapid naming, less severe childhood RD, and multiple support providers in childhood together predicted improvement of reading fluency. More fluent naming differentiated the childhood RD participants whose reading fluency had improved by adult-age from those participants whose RD …
What’s in a name : the effect of category labels on teachers’ beliefs.
2019
In this paper, we report an investigation of the possible influence on teachers’ essentialist thinking and efficacy beliefs of category labels used to describe children’s educational difficulties. A 2x2x2 counterbalanced design was employed in which primary school teachers in Finland and the UK were exposed to vignettes that portrayed a child exhibiting difficulties in one of two domains: either behaviour or reading. Vignettes were presented in two versions. In one, the child was labelled as having either ‘ADHD’ or ‘Dyslexia’; in the alternate condition, no such label was ascribed, descriptions were identical in all other respects. Participating teachers were presented with two vignettes, o…
How accurate are teachers and support specialists when judging students' literacy skills? Special educational service as an external factor influenci…
2022
The aim of the study was to examine the accuracy of Estonian teachers' and support specialists' judgements of students' spelling skills and reading fluency and to investigate the provision of special education services to students as a factor influencing teachers' judgements. The sample included 11 classroom teachers, 8 support specialists, and 187 third-grade students. The judgements were collected using scales, and students' literacy skills were assessed using group and individual tests. The results indicated that judgements of reading fluency were less accurate than those of spelling skills. In addition, the provision of special education services influenced teachers' judgements, directi…
