Specialundervisning och nivågruppering i matematik har inte så stor effekt (Bentley & Bentley, 2011; Giota & Emanuelsson, 2011) och vår skollag (2010:800) gör gällande att undervisningen ska ske inom klassens ram. Med detta som utgångspunkt designades denna studie. Studien genomfördes med 21 elever i år två under nitton lektioner. Syftet var att se om intensivundervisning med hjälp av strukturerad undervisning kan ge effekt på elevernas automatisering av additions och subtraktionstabellerna inom talområde 0-20. Studien genomfördes som en experimentell design med fältexperiment och metoderna i studien var deltagande observation, fältanteckningar och diagnoser.  Observationerna och fältanteckningarna visar ett exempel på hur strukturerad intensivundervisning kan planeras och diagnosernas resultat indikerar på att strukturerad intensivundervisning i aritmetik med ett inkluderande perspektiv har positiv effekt på elevernas automatisering. / Special education and abilitygrouping in mathematics have not shown a great effect (Bentley & Bentley, 2011; Giota & Emanuelsson, 2011) and our Education Act (2010:800) argues that students should be taught in the frame of the class. The study was based on this knowledge, which was conducted with 21 students in their second year for nineteen lessons. The aim was to see if intensive teaching has any effect on students´ procedural fluency of counting addition and subtraction within the numberrange 0-20. The study was conducted as an experimental design of fieldexperiments and the methods in the study were participant observation, fieldnotes and diagnoses. The observation and the fieldnotes show an example of how structured intensive teaching can be planned and the results of the diagnoses indicate that structured intensive teaching in aritmetic in an inclusive perspective has a positive effect on students´ procedural fluency.

Kan intensivträning med digitala verktyg påverka elevers taluppfattning och motivation? - En interventionsstudie på högstadiet. Can intensive practice with digital tools affect students number sense and motivation? – An intervention study in Secondary School.   Utgångspunkten för denna studie är de negativa konsekvenser matematiksvårigheter kan få för den enskilda eleven, som lämnar grundskolan utan godkänt betyg i matematik. Viktiga faktorer för att lyckas är god taluppfattning och motivation för att jobba med matematik.   Syftet med studien är att undersöka intensivträningens effekter på taluppfattning och motivation för att arbeta med matematik, genom att använda det webbaserade träningsprogrammet Mattelek Flex. Studien är gjord som fallstudie, där intervention, intervjuer och observationer ingått. Fem SUM-elever, som vid studiens början gick i åk 8, deltog. För att undersöka interventionens effekter på taluppfattningen gjordes en diagnos före, direkt efter samt efter sommarlovet. Diagnosen som användes var test 6 i Förstå och använda tal (McIntosh, 2008). Interventionens effekter på motivationen synliggjordes genom intervjuer och observationer, som analyserats utifrån några påverkansfaktorer som Jenner(2004) lyfter fram.   Resultatet visar att arbetet med Mattelek Flex stärker elevernas taluppfattning samtidigt som datorns effekter gör att motivationen ökar. / Can intensive practice with digital tools affect students number sense and motivation?  – an intervention study in Secondary School.   The starting point in this study is the negative consequences difficulties in mathematics may have on the individual student, who leaves primary school without passing there math grades. Important factors to succeed are good number sense and motivation to work with mathematics.   The purpose of this examine is to notice what effect intensive training has on number sense and the motivation to work with mathematics, by using the web based training program Mattelek Flex. The study was made as a case study, concluded interventions, interviews and observations. Five SEM-students, as in the beginning of the study were in the eighth grade, participated. To examine the interventions effects on the number sense, a test was made before, directly after and after a summer breake. The used test was test 6 in “Förstå och använda tal (McIntosh, 2008). The interventions effects on the motivation were made visible through interviews and observations. They were analysed based on some influencing factors by Jenner(2004).   The result shows that, working with Mattelek Flex strengthens the students number sense and the effects of the computer increases the motivation.

Les dysfonctions attentionnelles suivant un traumatisme craniocérébral (TCC) compliquent souvent la reprise des activités de la vie quotidienne et influencent négativement le pronostic de réinsertion socio-académique et professionnelle. Or, les cliniciens de réadaptation disposent d’un nombre limité d’outils de remédiation cognitive dont l’efficacité est démontrée et qui sont adaptés à une population francophone. Cette étude vise à démontrer l’efficacité d’un protocole d’entrainement intensif des fonctions attentionnelles : « Attention! Prêt? On s’enTraine! » (Séguin, Lahaie & Beauchamp, 2012), basé sur une adaptation française de l’« Attention Process Training-I » (APT-I; Sohlberg & Mateer, 1987). Dix-sept participants ayant subi un TCC et présentant des déficits attentionnels ont reçu 15 séances d’entrainement attentionnel avec le programme « Attention! Prêt? On s’enTraine! » (n = 8) ou de l’aide aux devoirs (n = 9). Suite à l’intervention, les participants du groupe expérimental ont amélioré leur rendement dans plusieurs fonctions ciblées par l’intervention attentionnelle, notamment au niveau du balayage visuel, de l’attention sélective et de l’alternance attentionnelle. De plus, les gains se sont généralisés à des fonctions connexes, puisqu’une meilleure performance a été retrouvée dans des tâches de mémoire de travail, d’inhibition, de flexibilité cognitive et de planification visuoconstructive. La démonstration de l’effet positif d’un entrainement intensif sur le rendement attentionnel pourrait inciter les cliniciens et chercheurs à développer et à valider d’autres protocoles de remédiation cognitive francophones, pour les fonctions attentionnelles ou d’autres sphères de la cognition. Par le fait même, le pronostic fonctionnel de la clientèle pédiatrique en traumatologie en sera potentialisé. / Attention dysfunctions following traumatic brain injury (TBI) frequently complicate the return to activities of daily living and negatively influence professional and socioacademic reintegration. Yet, clinicians in rehabilitation settings have limited access to cognitive remediation protocols for which efficacy has been demonstrated and that are adapted to French populations. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the intensive attention process training program « Attention! Prêt? On s’enTraine! » (Séguin, Lahaie & Beauchamp, 2012) based on a French adaptation of the « Attention Process Training-I » program (APT-I; Sohlberg & Mateer, 1987). Over five weeks, 17 participants who sustained TBI and demonstrated attention deficits received either the attention process training intervention (n = 8) or homework assistance (n = 9). Following the intervention, the experimental group improved on functions targeted by the « Attention! Prêt? On s’enTraine! » program, specifically, visual scanning, visual selective attention and attentional shifting. They also showed significant transfer gains on related tasks including measures of working memory, inhibition, mental flexibility and visuoconstructive planning. The demonstration of a positive effect of an intensive attention training program on attentional performances after TBI is likely to support and reinforce the development and validation of French cognitive remediation protocols, ultimately leading to improvements in the prognosis for individuals with TBI.
