Syftet med denna undersökning var att undersöka på vilka sätt estetiskt lärande kan inverka på dyslexiproblematik hos barn. Studien hade också till syfte att ta reda på vilka olika sätt pedagoger arbetar med barn med dyslexi och vilka olika arbetsätt inom estetiskt lärande det finns för att utveckla barn med dyslexi. Jag var intresserad av att se om estetiskt lärande påverkade barnen med dyslexi i skolan. Jag har nyttjat tidigare forskning, litteratur och intervjuer med tre pedagoger ute på fältet för att får en större uppfattning och kunskap om ämnet. Jag följde mina forskningsfrågor genom studien för att få fram ett tydligt resultat som möjligt. / The purpose of this review is to find out in which ways aesthetically learning could affect on children with dyslexia. The study had also a cause to search for the different ways for pedagogues to work with dyslexia-children and find out how they throughout aesthetically learning could foster these children. I was very interested in seeing if this method could help these dyslectic children. I have used former research, literature and even interviews with 3 pedagogues out on the schools to get wider knowledge from this particular topic.

Developmental dyslexia is widely believed to be caused either mainly or in part by an impairment of phonological representations. Although this hypothesis predicts that individuals with dyslexia should show deficits in tasks which require the use of implicit phonological knowledge, this has not yet been directly tested, as the evidence cited in support of this hypothesis usually comes from metalinguistic tasks which demand explicit awareness of phonological units. Additionally, since the ability to perform metalinguistic tasks which involve phonological segments can be enhanced by an individual’s competence in alphabetic literacy, the possibility remains that phonological skills may have been inadequately isolated from the influences of literacy acquisition in many cases. The study reported in this thesis investigated both the representations and the metalinguistic skills of a group of adults with a history of developmental dyslexia, examining areas of phonology which do and do not have orthographic counterparts. To isolate phonological skills from orthographic skills, the representations of conventional segmental contrasts (e.g. /k/ vs /g/) were compared with the representation of suprasegmental contrasts (as seen in minimal pairs such as ′toy factory and toy ′factory), which have no orthographic counterpart. Basic metalinguistic skills were tested by means of a phonological awareness task targeting both segmental and suprasegmental units, and phonological manipulation skills were tested using a Pig Latin task and a Spoonerism task, where participants were required to manipulate both segmental and suprasegmental units (e.g. extracting the segment /b/ from consonant clusters and the main stress from SWW or WSW stress patterns). The results showed that although the performance of the dyslexic group was weaker than that of the control group when tasks required the manipulation of either the segmental or suprasegmental components of words, no evidence was found for a deficit in the tasks which drew on implicit representations or basic metalinguistic skills. These findings suggest that the phonological deficit in dyslexia may be restricted to the ability to manipulate phonological units rather than in the representation of them per se.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a software application for guided practice on a tablet computer used as a multisensory instructional tool in the process of teaching music staff notation to students who have dyslexia. Between 15 to 20% of people in the United States may have dyslexia or related learning differences in the form of difficulties with reading and language processing. Having dyslexia does not preclude engagement in playing music; however, evidence shows students with dyslexia often have trouble learning how to read music notation (Ganschow, Lloyd-Jones & Miles, 1994; Miles & Westcombe, 2004; Stewart, 2008). Technology, specifically the tablet computer, has potential to address individual needs of students in the domain of music; a variety of applications have been created for teaching and practicing the recognition of musical notation. The theoretical framework underlying the study was based on two theories related to the learning process of students with dyslexia: the phonological deficit and the dyslexia automatization deficit theories. A quasi-experimental design was employed using intact classes of third, fourth, and fifth grade students (N=72) who attended an academy for students with dyslexia. The students were taught a series of lessons on reading music staff notation for seven weeks. The same teacher taught all classes. The treatment classes were given time for the guided-practice of music staff notation on the tablet; the control classes used the tablets for the same amount of time with other music applications, but were not given access to the specific treatment program. Data used to tabulate results of the study were collected with the use of pre and posttests of music staff notation recognition. The overall conclusion was that the use of the tablet for guided-practice in conjunction with instruction was significantly more effective at increasing the ability of students to recognize musical staff notation than using instruction alone.

O objetivo geral deste estudo é verificar a eficácia de um programa de remediação fonológica em escolares com dislexia do desenvolvimento. Os objetivos específicos incluem a comparação do desempenho auditivo e cognitivo-lingüístico de alunos com dislexia do desenvolvimento, com discentes sem dificuldade de aprendizagem, comparar os achados dos procedimentos de avaliação utilizados na pré e póstestagem em crianças com dislexia do desenvolvimento submetidas e não submetidas ao programa de remediação fonológica, e comparar os achados do programa de remediação em ambos os escolares remediados. Participam deste estudo 20 estudantes da 2 ª. à 4 ª. séries do Ensino Fundamental, sendo o GI subdividido em: GIe (5 escolares com dislexia do desenvolvimento, que foram submetidos ao programa de remediação fonológica) e GIc (5 discentes com dislexia do desenvolvimento não submetidos ao programa de remediação). O GII subdividido em: GIIe (5 indivíduos com bom desempenho escolar submetidos ao programa de remediação fonológica) e GIIc (5 pessoas com bom desempenho escolar submetidas e não submetidas ao programa de remediação). Os escolares são submetidos à aplicação de pré-testagem, programa de remediação e pós-testagem. Os resultados indicam que o GI apresentou desempenho inferior ao GII em habilidades fonológicas e que GIe apresentou melhor desempenho em habilidades auditiva e cognitivolingüísticas após ser submetido ao programa de remediação fonológica, quando comparados os achados de pré e pós-testagem. / Development dyslexia is a specific learning impairment, of neurological origin, characterized by difficulty in correct fluency in reading and difficulty in decoding and spelling, resultant of a deficit in the phonological component of the language. The general objective of this project was to verify the effectiveness of a program of phonological remediation in students with development dyslexia. The specific objectives included the comparison of auditory and cognitivelinguistic performance of students with development dyslexia and students without learning difficulties, who read according to their age and school grade; the comparison of the findings from the evaluation procedures of pre-test and post-test in students with development dyslexia submitted and not submitted to the remediation program; and the comparison of the findings of the program of remediation in both submitted groups. Twenty students participated in this study, from 2nd and 4th grades, divided into Group I (GI) subdivided into: GIe (5 students with development dyslexia submitted to the remediation program) and GIc (5 students with development dyslexia not submitted to the remediation program). Group II (GII) subdivided into: GIIe (5 students without learning difficulties submitted to the remediation program) and GIIc (5 students without learning difficulties not submitted to the remediation program. The students were submitted to the application of a pre-test, a remediation program and a pos-test. The results indicated that GI presented inferior performance in relation to GII in phonological abilities and GIe improved its performance in auditory skills and cognitive-linguistic skills after having been submitted to the remediation program, when compared in the pre and pos-test.
