Fonologisk medvetenhet och läsförmågor hos barn i åk 1 och 3 : En jämförelse mellan de fonologiska deltesten ur ett standardiserat test (UMESOL och projektet Legilexis testmaterial

Sahlsten, Maja, Degerman, Heli January 2016 (has links)
The present study is a small part of a project that is named Legilexi which includes a screening test where the purpose is to identify children who are at risk of having reading- and writing difficulties. The aim of the present study was primarily to investigate the relationship between phonological awareness and different reading abilities in children in year 1 and 3. A further aim was to contribute to the validation of Legilexi’s screening test. There were 48 children from four different schools that participated in the study, 29 of these children were in grade 1, and 19 were in grade 3. The students in first grade were in the ages of 7;0–8:1 years and the children in third grade were between the ages of 9;1 and 9;11 years. The recruitment of the schools was done in consultation with project managers of Legilexi. In this study the schools were selected throughout a convenience sample, because of Legilexi’s spread throughout the whole of Sweden. Phonological awareness was assessed with UMESOL’s phonological elements; phoneme segmentation, phoneme synthesis, position analysis and segment subtraction. The teachers tested the children with Legilexi ́s test material. The relations between the collected data were later examined together with secondary data from Legilexi. The results showed strong correlations between different aspects of phonological awareness, reading- and listening comprehension. However, ceiling effects were discovered in Legilexi’s subtest phoneme analysis in grade 1. This indicates that the design of the test was too simple for the participating children. The conclusion of the present study was that the results were in line with previous research regarding phonological awareness and early reading development. An important and useful finding was the ceiling effect on Legilexi’s test of phonological awareness

Schneider, Judith K. (Judith Kahan) 12 1900 (has links)
The focus of this study was to determine the unique contribution of I.Q., gender, instructional organization, time on the computer, classroom instructional time, ethnicity and total instructional time to the predictability of achievement gain in a computer-assisted instructional setting in reading. The sample consisted of 2,000 students in grades three and five from a large suburban school district in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. The students were given the Iowa Test of Basic Skills to determine reading achievement gains and the Cognitive Abilities Test to determine I.Q. levels. The study was conducted over a five month period during the 1984 - 1985 school year. Using multiple regression, the data were analyzed.

No. of bitstreams: 1 MedinaCuri_Nicolas_D.pdf: 5359652 bytes, checksum: 85c48aedce486066f4e70e8ac3bb7a40 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2002 / Resumo: Este estudo teve como propósito analisar os desempenhos em atenção e em memória de um grupo de crianças com e sem dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita e na leitura, tendo-se em vista que todas elas eram possuidoras de inteligência normal ou superior. Sob o suposto geral de que a atenção e a memória constituem atividades cognitivas envolvidas no processo da aprendizagem na escrita e na leitura, no que a inteligência estaria neutralizada, levantou-se a hipótese de trabalho que pressupõe que as crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita e com deficiências no desempenho em leitura, e que apresentam inteligência normal ou superior, mostram baixos índices de atenção e memória, o que não se verifica com as crianças que não apresentam essas dificuldades e deficiências. Com a finalidade de verificar essa hipótese foram examinadas 267 crianças, de 2' e 3' séries de ensino fundamental de escolas estaduais de Campinas, diagnosticadas com inteligência normal ou superior através do teste do Desenho da Figura Humana. Depois foram avaìiadas suas habilidades na escrita e na leitura e, também seus desempenhos em atenção e em memória. Com base nos dados dessas avaliações, as variações do desempenho em atenção e em memória foram analisadas considerando os níveis de dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita e os níveis de desempenho em leitura como fatores estáveis, mediante a análise de variância com um nível de significação de 0,05. Os resultados dessa análise estatística mostram que as crianças de ambos os grupos (2' e 3' séries) com dificuldades de aprendìzagem na escrita, apresentaram baixos índices de atenção e memória e aquelas sem dificuldades de aprendizagem na escrita expressaram altos índices de atenção e memória, enquanto que as crianças com deficiências no desempenho em leitura manifestaram baixos índices de atenção e memória e aquelas sem deficiências na leitura expressaram altos índices de atenção e memória. Em conseqiiência, de acordo com esses resultados verificou-se a hipótese de trabalho desta pesquisa / Abstract: This study had as purpose to analyze performances in attention and memory of a group of children with and without learning difhculties in writing and reading abilities, considering that all of them have normal or superior intelligence. Under the general supposition that attention and memory constitute cognitive activities involved in the process of learning writing and reading capabilities, in which intelligence would not be relevant, the working hypothesis of this research is formulated. This hypothesis presupposes that children with learning difficulties in writing and with performance deficiencies in reading, presenting normal or superior intelligence, show low indexes of attention and memory. This is not verified with children that do not present those difhculties and deficiencies. With the purpose of verifying this hypothesis, 267 children of 2nd and 3rd series of fundamental teaching of state schools in Campinas werc examined. They were diagnosed with normal or superior intelligence through the test of Drawing the Human Figure. Then they were evaluated in its abilities of writing and reading and also in its performances for attention and memory. Using data resulting from those evaluations, variations of performance in attention and memory were realyzed considering the levels of learning difhculties in writing and the levels of performance in reading as stable, by means of analizing the variance with a level of significance of 0,05. The results of this statistical analysis showed that children from both groups (2nd and 3rd series) with learning difficulties in writing skill presented low indexes of attention and memory. Those without learning difficulties in writing skill expressed high indexes of attention and memory. Children with performance deficiencies in reading skill manifested low indexes of attention and memory and those without deficiencies in reading expressed high indexes of attention and memory. In consequence, in agreement with those results the working hypothesis of this research was verified. / Doutorado / Psicologia, Desenvolvimento Humano e Educação / Doutor em Educação

[en] SCHOOL SPACES AND READING ABILITIES: A STUDY IN THREE MUNICIPAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] ESPAÇOS ESCOLARES E HABILIDADES DE LEITURA: UM ESTUDO EM TRÊS ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS MUNICIPAIS DO RIO DE JANEIRO

ROBERTA ARAUJO TEIXEIRA 22 August 2008 (has links)
[pt] A presente dissertação recorre à literatura sobre escolas eficazes e sobre espaços escolares para referenciar a pesquisa em três escolas públicas municipais da cidade do Rio de Janeiro que tiveram desempenho diferenciado em Leitura nos dois primeiros resultados longitudinais do Geres (Estudo Longitudinal da Geração Escolar 2005). A literatura revela que a materialidade da escola é fator relevante na constituição de determinadas práticas escolares capazes de constranger ou de estimular a disseminação social de certos conhecimentos e competências. Mais especificamente, por meio do estudo dos usos e funções de espaços e de objetos escolares como, por exemplo, salas de leitura, murais das escolas e das salas de aula e cantinhos de leitura, a presente pesquisa procura aumentar o entendimento do conjunto de fazeres pedagógicos ativados no interior das escolas investigadas e que guardam relação mais direta com o desenvolvimento de habilidades básicas de leitura e escrita. Com esta finalidade, foram realizadas incursões às escolas ao longo do ano de 2007, em três momentos estratégicos do calendário escolar (início, meado e final do ano letivo) com o objetivo de registrar fotograficamente os espaços privilegiados de suporte e promoção da leitura. Com base nas análises implementadas a partir desse registro, foi possível identificar aspectos relevantes das instituições pesquisadas pautados na natureza, disposição, usos e funções de espaços e objetos relacionados à promoção da leitura, contribuindo para o entendimento da eficácia escolar sob o ponto de vista dos discursos visuais da escola como fatores promotores de aprendizagem. / [en] The present dissertation recurs to the literature about effective schools and school spaces in order to reference a research in three municipal public schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro which have had a remarkable performance in Reading at the two first longitudinal results from Geres (Estudo Longitudinal da Geração Escolar 2005). The literature reveals that the materiality of school is a relevant factor in the constitution of determinate school practices and is able to constrain or stimulate the social dissemination of certain knowledge and competences. More specifically, through the study of the uses and functions of school spaces and objects as, for instance, a room in school for activities of reading and writing, the school`s and classroom`s bulletin boards and an area in classroom with a small library, the present research attempts to enlarge the understanding of the whole pedagogical duties activated in the interior of the investigated schools that keep a more straight relation to the development of basic reading and writing abilities. Aiming that, incursions to the schools were carried out throughout the year of 2007, in three strategic periods of the school calendar (beginning, middle and end of term) with the objective of photographing the privileged spaces designated to the support and the promotion of reading. Based on the analysis implemented from this register, it was possible to identify relevant aspects of the researched institutions, ruled by its nature, dispositions, uses and functions of spaces and objects related to the promotion of reading, contributing to the understanding of school effectiveness from the point of view of the school visual discourses as learning promoting factors.

Habilidades e competências de leitura segundo o ENEM: entre a teoria e a prática

Gilberto da Silva Santiago 20 April 2012 (has links)
A ampliação do número de alunos matriculados nas escolas públicas e privadas brasileiras não vem acompanhada de um ensino de qualidade capaz de preparar o indivíduo para atuar na sociedade em que vive, conforme apontam dados de documentos oficias. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho, que se insere no âmbito dos estudos voltados para os processos de leitura de textos verbais e não verbais, é a partir da análise das habilidades e as competências de um leitor ao término do Ensino Médio, a) verificar a concepção de leitura que permeia as matrizes do ENEM e, por decorrência, as habilidades de leitura nelas prefiguradas; b) analisar questões desse exame no que tange às competências e habilidades de leitura exigidas do candidato, estabelecendo um paralelo entre o que determinam os documentos oficiais e a avaliação na prática. Para atingir nosso objetivo, analisamos 33 questões do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio de 2010. Nesse corpus, trabalhamos com questões que contemplem a construção de sentido de textos verbais e não verbais, relativas a Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias que dizem respeito à Língua Portuguesa, diagnosticando uma a uma as habilidades e competências leitoras necessárias para uma leitura competente. Organizamos nossa dissertação em três capítulos, além de uma Introdução e uma Conclusão. No capítulo 1, apresentamos os principais modelos de leitura, fazendo nossa opção pelo modelo sociocognitivo interacional. No capítulo 2, focalizamos o ENEM, destacando suas habilidades e competências. No capítulo 3, procedemos análise de 33 questões do ENEM 2010, focando as habilidades e competências leitoras necessárias para resolvê-las. Os resultados apontam para uma concepção de leitura sociocognitiva interacional, que pressupõe também a decodificação como parte do processo de leitura em pequenos instantes em que se necessita construir sentido para um vocábulo estranho ao leitor. O estudo aponta ainda para uma predominância nas questões do ENEM das competências que envolvem conhecimento de gênero discursivo e reflexões acerca das novas tecnologias da informação. / The increase in the number of students enrolled in public and private Brazilian schools is not accompanied by a quality education that is capable of preparing the individual for active participation in the community they live in, as data from official documents show. The objective of this work, which falls within the scope of the studies focused on the processes of reading texts verbal and nonverbal, is based on the analysis of the abilities and skills of a player at the end of high school, a) To verify the conception of reading that permeates ENEM (High School National Examination) matrices and, consequently, the reader profile prefigured therein; b) to analyze its examinations regarding skills and reading skills required of the candidate, establishing a parallel between the determining official documents and assessment in practice. To achieve our goal, we analyze 33 questions of the ENEM 2010. In this corpus, we will deal with issues that include the construction of meaning of verbal and nonverbal texts, which concern the Portuguese Studies in the area of Language and its technologies, diagnosing one by one the reading skills necessary for a competent reading. We organize our dissertation in three chapters, besides an Introduction and a Conclusion. Chapter 1 presents the main models of reading, making our choice of the social cognitive model. In chapter 2, we focus on ENEM, highlighting what refers to reading in the assessment. In chapter 3, we analyze 33 questions of the ENEM 2010. The results point to a conception of sociocognitive interactional reading, which is substituted for decoding in small moments when its necessary the construction of meaning of words the reader doesnt know. The study also points to a predominance in the ENEM questions of skills involving knowledge of genre and reflections on the new information technologies.

Daniel, Jolinda January 2007 (has links)
This study focused on the relationship between reading comprehension and academic achievement of grade 10 learners in the learning area Language and attempted to address the following primary research question: What is the relationship between the reading comprehension of grade 10 learners in their first and second language and their academic achievement in the learning area Language ? The researcher also addressed the following secondary questions: Is them a significant difference between Afrikaans and Sesotho-speaking learners regarding their achievements in reading comprehension (first and second language) and the learning area Language (first and second language)? Is there a significant difference between male and female learners regarding their achievements in reading comprehension (first and second language) and the learning area Language (first and second language) ? A total of seventy-seven (77) grade 10 learners for whom English is a second language were included in this study. The learners' reading comprehension abilities in the first language (Afrikaans and Sesotho) and the second language (English) were tested and correlated with their achievements in the learning area Language (first and second language). The reading comprehension and language achievements of Afrikaans and Sesotho-speaking learners respectively and male and female learners were compared. Resulting from the findings of this study, the following conclusions were made: A significant relationship exists between the reading comprehension of grade 10 learners in their first and second language and their academic achievement in the learning area Language. There is a significant difference between Afrikaans and Sesotho-speaking learners regarding their achievements in reading comprehension (first and second language) and the learning area Language (first and second language). There is a significant difference between male and female learners regarding their achievements in reading comprehension (first and second language) and the learning area Language (first and second language). / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

[en] ANALYSIS OF LINGUISTIC PROCESSING DEMANDS RELATED TO TEXTS AND QUESTIONS IN SAERJINHO S PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE TESTS / [pt] ANÁLISE DAS DEMANDAS DE PROCESSAMENTO ASSOCIADAS A TEXTOS E ENUNCIADOS DE PROVAS DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA DO SAERJINHO

PATRICIA CONCEICAO RIBEIRO ARTEIRO ANNECHINE MARCAL 15 January 2015 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar as demandas de processamento relacionadas à resolução de provas de língua portuguesa do SAERJinho, focalizando-se, em particular, fatores de ordem linguístico-textual envolvidos na leitura de textos e enunciados das referidas provas. Na resenha da literatura são apresentadas vertentes teóricas sobre o processamento da leitura, seus aspectos cognitivos, metacognitivos assim como os conceitos de legibilidade e inteligibilidade. Dada a multiplicidade semiótica que caracteriza os textos das provas analisadas, são considerados os conceitos de multimodalidade e multiletramento. Apresenta-se, adicionalmente, literatura relativa a gêneros textuais, tendo em vista a identificação dos gêneros mais recorrentes nas provas examinadas. Uma breve caracterização dos tipos de questão de múltipla escolha usados em provas objetivas também é estabelecida, entendendo-se que aspectos metacognitivos associados à resolução desses tipos de questão podem afetar o desempenho dos alunos nas provas. A fim de compreender os critérios de elaboração das provas, foram considerados os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino Médio, que são a base referencial da Matriz de Referência utilizada na elaboração do SAERJinho. Antes das análises, o SAERJinho foi apresentado. No capítulo da metodologia, são apresentados o corpus da pesquisa, a ferramenta usada para verificar o grau de legibilidade dos textos (Coh-Metrix-Port) e o valor do índice Flesch associado a cada texto. Em seguida, procedeu-se à análise dos gêneros textuais, dos tipos de questão de múltipla escolha e também das habilidades e dos conteúdos específicos cobrados nas questões. Os resultados da pesquisa sinalizaram para a necessidade de se reavaliarem os critérios de elaboração das provas e apontaram ainda para a necessidade urgente de os alunos do Ensino Médio desenvolverem as habilidades necessárias para alcançarem proficiência em leitura (como por exemplo, inferir uma informação implícita em um texto, identificar o tema de um texto, identificar a finalidade de textos de diferentes gêneros) e, consequentemente, terem bom êxito nas avaliações. / [en] This thesis is aimed at investigating the processing demands related to taking the SAERJinho s Portuguese Language Tests (the Education Evaluation System of the State of Rio de Janeiro), by focusing, in particular, on textual-linguistic factors involved in reading the statements of the mentioned tests. In the literature review, we present the theoretical framework for reading processing, its cognitive and metacognitive aspects, as well as the concepts of readability and intelligibility. Due to the semiotic multiplicity that characterizes the texts of the tests analyzed, the concepts of multi-modality and multi-literacy are considered. Additionally, we present the literature regarding text genres, focusing on the identification of the most recurrent genres in the tests examined. A brief characterization of the types of multiple choice questions used in objective tests is also established, bearing in mind that metacognitive aspects associated with the resolution of these types of question may affect students performance on the tests. In order to understand the criteria involved in test preparation, we consider the Brazilian National Curriculum Parameters for the Secondary Education, which are the reference basis of the Reference Matrix used in the preparation of the SAERJinho. Before showing the analyses, the SAERJinho is introduced. In the methodology chapter, the research corpus is shown, as well as the tool used to verify the readability level of the texts (Coh-Metrix-Port) and the Flesch reading score associated with each text. Then, we analyze the text genres, the types of multiple choice questions and also the skills and the specific topics covered in the questions. Research results show that it is necessary to re-evaluate the criteria involved in the elaboration of the tests and they also point out that high school students should urgently develop their reading proficiency (such as, for example, inferring implicit information in a text, identifying the text s topic and the purpose of texts of different genres) and, consequently, achieve good results in the evaluations.

[en] READING SKILLS AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES ASSOCIATED TO THE INCREASE OF LEARNING / [pt] HABILIDADES DE LEITURA E PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS ASSOCIADAS AO SEU APRENDIZADO

LUCIA HELENA GAZOLIS DE OLIVEIRA 28 May 2013 (has links)
[pt] No âmbito das pesquisas sobre escolas eficazes, este estudo investiga especialmente o efeito-professor no aprendizado de leitura de estudantes do segundo e do terceiro anos do Ensino Fundamental. Interessa averiguar quais práticas estão associadas ao aumento do aprendizado das diferentes habilidades que necessitam ser construídas durante o processo de aprendizagem da nossa língua e, ainda, se os impactos dessas práticas se diferenciam conforme o ano escolar frequentado pelos alunos. Os dados analisados são originários do Estudo Longitudinal da Geração Escolar 2005 - GERES 2005. A subamostra utiliza dados cognitivos de 17.628 alunos, distribuídos em 671 turmas, de 225 escolas, pertencentes às redes municipal, estadual, federal e privada, das cidades do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), de Belo Horizonte (MG), de Campinas (SP) e de Campo Grande (MS). Quantos aos dados contextuais, a subamostra corresponde aos professores das respectivas turmas. O trabalho pode ser resumido em três investigações complementares. A primeira corresponde à interpretação pedagógica da escala de proficiência, indispensável para a compreensão de qualquer resultado posterior, já que os valores numéricos das escalas não têm significado em si mesmos. Sendo assim, os itens dos testes foram examinados detalhadamente, conforme a sua distribuição nos intervalos de proficiência da escala, com o objetivo de esclarecer sobre o que os alunos são capazes de realizar cognitivamente em cada um deles. Em seguida, foi realizada nova análise pedagógica, de forma a atribuir coerência ao conjunto de habilidades, interpretando-o quanto aos diferentes níveis de aprendizagem. A segunda investigação busca evidências da existência de subescalas de habilidades internas ao aprendizado de leitura. Simultaneamente, investiga se as práticas declaradas pelos professores também podem ser expressas por meio de escalas. Os construtos foram definidos, inicialmente, por análise conceitual e, logo após, foram submetidos aos procedimentos estatísticos necessários à sua validação. Por fim, a terceira investigação, objetivo central desta tese, examina o efeito das práticas de leitura no aprendizado dos estudantes avaliados durante a pesquisa. A metodologia utilizada para tal associação foi a Modelagem Hierárquica Multinível (nível aluno e nível turma), apropriada para pesquisas que utilizam dados alinhados hierarquicamente, como é o caso das pesquisas educacionais. Os resultados evidenciaram boas medidas para as escalas de práticas de leitura. As escalas obtidas foram: (i) leitura realizada pelo professor para os alunos, (ii) solicitação do professor para que os alunos realizem leitura silenciosa e (iii) solicitação do professor para que os alunos realizem leitura em voz alta. Embora com resultados menos expressivos estatisticamente, as escalas formadas para as habilidades em leitura foram as seguintes: (i) processamento do código de leitura; (ii) localização de informações explícitas; (iii) integração de informações entre o texto e o contexto e (iv) apreensão de aspectos discursivos do texto. A associação entre práticas de leitura e proficiência mostrou ganhos diferenciados por parte dos alunos, conforme a habilidade, o ano escolar e as práticas adotadas pelos professores. Alguns resultados: (i) a ênfase no uso de métodos tradicionais apresentou correlação negativa com o aprendizado das habilidades de processamento do código e de localização de informações no 2º ano; (ii) no 3º ano, a prioridade em atividades de cópia, ditado e caligrafia apresentou correlação negativa com o aprendizado dos alunos em todas as habilidades investigadas (iii) e a leitura realizada pelo professor, no 3° ano, foi a única modalidade de prática de leitura que se manteve significativa e com potencial para agregar conhecimento aos alunos, também em todas as habilidades pesquisadas. / [en] In the area of researches about effective schools, this study investigates specially the teacher effect in the learning of reading by students of the second and third grades of elementary school. Our interest is to investigate which practices are related to the increase of learning of the different skills that need to be constructed during the learning of a native language, and also to check if the impacts of these practices are different in each grade of elementary school. The analyzed data were collected in a longitudinal project called GERES – Estudo Longitudinal da Geração Escolar 2005. The subsample uses cognitive data of 17,628 students, distributed in 671 groups of 225 schools. The research took place in county, state, federal, and private schools of the following cities: Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Belo Horizonte (MG), Campinas (SP), and Campo Grande (MS). The contextual data of the subsample correspond to information provided by the teachers of those groups. This study may be condensed in three complementary investigations. The first one corresponds to the pedagogical interpretation of the proficiency scale, which is mandatory to the comprehension of any posterior result, considering that the numerical values of the sample do not have intrinsic meaning. Therefore, tests items were examined in detail, according to their distribution in the scale’s proficiency ranges, in order to make clear what the students are able to do in each item. After this, a new pedagogical analysis was done with the intention of making the group of skills coherent, interpreting their different learning levels. In the second investigation, we search for evidences of the existence of subscales of skills that are internally related to the learning of reading. At the same time, we investigate if the practices declared by the teachers may also be expressed by scales. The constructs were initially defined by conceptual analysis and later by statistic procedures, which were necessary for their authentication. Finally, in the third investigation, which was the main objective of this study, we examine the effect of Portuguese language practices on the learning of the students who were evaluated along the research. The methodology we used for this association was based on the Hierarchical Multilevel Models (student and teacher levels). This methodology is ideal for researches based on hierarchically aligned data, what happens to educational research. The results of the research reveal good measures for the reading practices scales. The scales obtained were: (i) teacher reads for the students, (ii) teacher asks the students to read in silence, and (iii) teacher asks the students to read aloud. Although the results were not so statistically expressive, the scales we obtained for the reading skills were: (i) reading code processing; (ii) localizing explicit information; (iii) integrating text and context; and (iv) taking up discursive aspects from the text. The association between Portuguese language practices and proficiency has showed different achievements by the students. It varied mainly according to the skill, the school grade, and the teachers’ practices. Some of the results are that: (i) emphasizing traditional methods showed a negative relation with the learning of reading code processing and localizing explicit information in the second grade; (ii) in the third grade, highlighting copy, dictation, and calligraphy showed a negative relation to students’ learning in all the researched skills; and (iii) it was also observed that when the teacher reads for the students, in the third grade, it aggregates relevant knowledge to the students in all the researched skills, being this practice the only one that maintained significance in the research.
