As a result of the increase of digitalisation in today’s society over the recent years, the Swedish school system requires a certain degree of digital competence amongst teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only accelerated the digitalisation of schools it even forced teaching to become digital for some time. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how Swedish ESL/EFL teachers in secondary school utilise digital tools to support pupils with writing and reading difficulties and their awareness of these difficulties. In order to meet the formulated aim of this paper, the research questions have been separated into three sections. The first area involves writing and reading difficulties in English courses. The second aspect of this research will examine which digital tools English teachers use to support students that struggle with reading and writing in the classroom, and the third aspect is how they apply these tools to their teaching. In this qualitative study, four English teachers participated. The empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The results show that the interviewees experienced that the use of digital tools supported and developed students in their reading skills. Moreover, previous research concludes that digital tools have a profitable effect on students’ motivation and learning. However, the interviewees’ struggled to present digital teaching strategies to support struggling writers and did not present an effective digital tool for students with writing difficulties. Additionally, we discovered that the teachers in this study lacked the knowledge to some extent regarding digital tools to support these students; hence, the importance of providing further education to teachers regarding our research topic to offer an equivalent and inclusive school environment for all students. Further, research on digital tools and how to support students were limited. Therefore, we suggest future research on the topic with a focus on digital teaching strategies.

Writing is so important. It is important in school and in our careers; writing is found to be helpful physiologically and psychologically. Experts wonder, with writing so important, why is writing not being adequately taught in the schools. The answer may be that writing is complex and teaching it is even more complex. The Read-to-Write Strategy is a writing model based on the study of exemplary models of text and children are explicitly taught how to write the way an author writes through a process of the teacher modeling how to write this way; the teacher sharing the writing task with children, and having children collaborate with a partner during the writing task, so that eventually children can independently write text to match the child’s audience and purpose. In this exploratory study, second grade children were explicitly taught a writing strategy that followed the model proposed by Read-to-Write Strategy. This study of writing compared samples of children’s writing before and after they received instruction in the Read-to-Write Strategy. Children made good improvements in their writing and the tests run on the children’s writing samples infer that learning was significant.

The purpose of my examination is contributing with knowledge about the relation between language- stimulation in preschool and read- and writes developing and teachers thought about that. In order to meet the purpose I read literature that deals with my matter and is based previous research. I also made qualitative interviews with three elementary school teachers and three preschool teachers who work within preschools that concentrate on development of language in a town in the middle of Sweden.  In this way I find out about their thoughts about what they think is important to work with about language in preschool and how the preschool teachers can work with the development of language to make it easier for the children in their read- and writes developing. The result shows that it is important to work with children’s development of language in preschool. Children need some part of language awareness when they start at the public school. The result also shows that it is not just one way that’s good for training children’s language development. You need to work with de language in many different ways with the children so that they can learn about all the parts of the language.  I can not see any big difference between the teachers that I interviewed concerning their thoughts in my result. / Syftet med mitt examensarbete är att bidra med kunskap om relationen mellan språkstimulering i förskolan och läs- och skrivutveckling och lärares tankar kring det. För att uppfylla mitt syfte har jag läst litteratur och tidigare forskning som behandlar mitt ämne. Jag har även genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med tre grundskollärare och tre förskollärare på förskolor med språkinriktning i en stad i Mellansverige. Jag tog på så sätt reda på deras tankar kring vad som är viktigt att arbeta med språkmässigt i förskolan och hur förskolan kan arbeta med barns språkutveckling för att underlätta barnens läs- och skrivinlärning. Resultatet visar att det är viktigt att arbeta med barnens språkutveckling i förskolan. Barnen behöver en viss språklig medvetenhet när de senare börjar grundskolan. Resultatet visar även att det inte bara finns ett sätt som är bra att arbeta på för att språkstimulera barnen utan att man behöver arbeta med språket på flera olika sätt för att barnet ska lära språkets alla delar. Jag ser ingen större skillnad mellan förskollärarnas och grundskollärarnas tankar i mitt resultat.

The subject of reading and writing difficulties has been a research object sin- ce the 40's and it ́s come a long way in what should happen and how to act however, it is still children who do not get the help that is needed in pre- school and pre-school classes. This study has sought to identify the difficulty of educators and teachers to detect early-stage problems. Children with reading and writing difficulties do not only have difficulty in school, but the other social interaction with other children / adults can be af- fected. This topic can create exclusion and bullying if it is not handled properly. When will these problems be discovered and by whom, this study shows how the preschool can / should work with reading and writing difficulties and what problems it is for the educators to do this. The study of this study has been conducted through a questionnaire and per- sonal dissociations with special educators, pre-school teachers and pre-school educators. A total of seven people were interviewed and they worked with children between three to six years, interviews were conducted in an area where the educators felt safe and comfortable.The study includes privacy and confiden- tiality and all names are fictive. Interviews were played in and then written clean and all the answers in the study were categorized and you could see that the special educators, pre- school teachers and pre-school educators worked in accordance with the Bornholm Model, Karlstadsmodellen and Fonomix. It has emerged from the study that it is communication with images and signs that is the strategy that the preschoolers primarily use to include, develop and communicate with the children. Educators highlight some problems in preschool to handle these issues. The lack of tools is often mentioned, but they work with what they can and it me- ans work with dumbbells, rhymes, frames and songs. Knowledge about this subject is substandard according to the survey with the educators, even time is part of the problems. Some have discovered shortcomings in reading and writing in children wit- hout taking any action. A problem that is becoming increasingly current is how to detect reading and writing difficulties-in children whose parents do not speak the Swedish lan- guage, and here the special educators, pre-school teachers and pre-school educators must rely on the parents. The survey shows that there are shortcomings in education, the lack of tools and the time to deal with the problems is often mentioned in this study. / Ämnet läs och skrivsvårigheter har varit ett forskningsobjekt sedan 40-50- talet och man har kommit långt i vad som bör ske och hur man ska agera, men ändå så är det barn som inte får den hjälp som behövs i förskolan och förskoleklass. Denna studie har strävat efter att få fram vad som är svårigheten bland peda- goger och lärare för att upptäcka problemen i tidigt stadie. Barn som har läs och skrivsvårigheter får inte bara svårigheter i skolan utan det övriga sociala samverkan med andra barn/vuxna kan påverkas. Detta ämne kan skapa utanförskap och mobbing om det inte hanteras på rätt sätt. När ska dessa problem upptäckas och av vem, denna studie visar på hur förskolan kan/ska jobba med läs och skrivsvårigheter och vilka problem det är för pedagogerna att utföra detta. Undersökningen till denna studie har utförts genom ett frågeformulär och personliga diskussioner med specialpedagoger, förskollärare och pedagoger i förskoleklass Sammanlagt intervjuades sju personer och de jobbade med barn mellan tre till sex år , intervjuerna genomfördes i ett område där pedagogerna kände sig trygga och bekväma. Studien innefattas av sekretess och tystnadsplikt och alla namn är fiktiva. Intervjuerna spelades in och skrevs sedan rent och alla svaren i studien kate- goriserades upp och man kunde se att de jobbade i enlighet med Born- holmsmodellen, Karlstadsmodellen. Det har framkommit av undersökningen att det är kommunikation med bilder och tecken som är strategin som förskollärarna främst använder sig av för att inkludera, utveckla och kommunicera med barnen. Pedagoger belyser problem inom förskolan för att kunna hantera dessa frågor. Avsaknad av hjälpmedel nämns ofta, men de jobbar med det kan och det in- nebär arbete med munövningar, rim, ramsor och sång . Några har upptäckt brister i läs och skriv hos barn utan att vidtaga några åtgärder. Ett problem som aktualiseras mer och mer är hur man upptäcker läs och skriv svårigheter hos barn som ej har svenska talade föräldrar, och här måste man förlita sig till barnets föräldrar i hög utsträckning. Undersökningen visar att det finns brister i utbildningen och avsaknaden av verktyg/hjälpmedel och tiden för att hantera problemen nämns ofta i denna studie.

The teacher’s methodological approach and behavior were considered always as a parameter to interpret the children written production. At the end of this research, we got the conclusion that the appropriation of genres in written production by children at school is unique, unrepeatable and singular. In the acquisition of genre structure, the teacher’ role is fundamental as the presence of the other in dialoguing with the texts and the students. According to Bakhtin, genre is life and therefore it is not possible to purify it or to frame it in previously determined rules. As a consequence, the acquisition of genre by the children is process with individual characteristics. It is not possible to repeat it with different subjects. During the process, the children make use of inter-genres strategies in writing stories, what corresponds to our initical expectation. With this information, we could produce a better definition of an ethical and an aesthetical subject. The first takes into account only the value of the information he gets fron the knowledge of genres in written production, but the second goes further and expects a direct dialog with the interlocutor of his text. Ethical and aesthetical subject are not educated by themselves. It is necessary the presence of somebody else, the other, to whom a dialog must be always present and real. The process of interaction between the teacher and students is the guarantee of the success

Tendo em vista o processo de reconhecimento da educação infantil como primeiro nível da educação básica a partir da L.D.B de 1996, o que, para nós, vem sendo interpretado enquanto justificativa e necessidade da presença nas instituições de educação infantil - especificamente, na faixa etária por nós analisada (5-6 anos), por ser este período anterior à entrada da criança no Ensino Fundamental - de uma pedagogia preocupada em iniciar, o quanto antes, o processo de alfabetização. Ou seja, uma pedagogia preocupada com uma criança que virá a ser e que não o é hoje, tornando-se, desta forma, antecipadora do processo de escolarização, sem necessariamente resguardar a especificidade da primeira infância. Para tanto, utilizamo-nos da pesquisa de tipo de etnográfico a fim de construir instrumentos que nos possibilitassem conhecer o cotidiano desta escola e as relações estabelecidas entre crianças, professora e direção, a partir da pedagogia presente neste cotidiano.

Therefore, we utilized the research of the type of etnograph in order to construct instruments that allow us to know the quotidian of this school and the established relations among children, teachers and direction, from the pedagogy present in this quotidian.

Pitch Technologies specializes their work on the HLA standard, a standard that specifies data exchange between simulators. The company provides a solution for recording HLA data into a database as raw byte data entries. In this thesis, different design solutions to store and organize recorded HLA data in a manner that reflects the content of the data are proposed and implemented, with the aim of making the data possible to query and analyze after recording. The design solutions impact on storage, read- and write performance as well as usability are evaluated through a suite of tests run on a PostgreSQL database and a TimescaleDB database. It is concluded that none of the design alternatives is the best solution for all aspects, but the most promising combination is proposed.

No primeiro capítulo encontram-se considerações pertinentes a alfabetização e concepções de ensino. No segundo capítulo é apresentada a legislação que respalda o programa e também a forma como vem sendo aplicado. O terceiro capítulo trata dos procedimentos metodológicos. Foram desenvolvidos questionários para professores alfabetizadores e professores-coordenadores e elaborados quadros de análise para classificar os depoimentos coletados a partir dos pares de categorias dialéticas do referencial teórico-metodológico construído por Alves (2000). Alguns dos professores entrevistados acreditam que o programa traz idéias novas, porém seu referencial teórico é fundado no construtivismo, que já orienta os documentos institucionais da educação brasileira há mais de 25 anos.(AU)

As regards the theoretical foundations of literacy for realizing this work, we search for support in the historical-cultural approach. It is a qualitative research, with a case study. Data were collected from the non-participant observation technique, in classrooms located at construction sites, in the space of initial and continuing training of PEZP, and observations were recorded in a field diary. Data were also collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with the workers learners. The results revealed that the students surveyed exercise literate social practices and recognize the reading and writing value to their activities and solving everyday problems. Our findings indicate the importance of working pedagogical practices in the process of teaching youths and adults how to read and write, through the perspective of social use of reading and writing. / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar como os educandos do Programa Escola Zé Peão (PEZP) fazem uso da leitura e da escrita, na perspectiva do letramento em suas relações sociais. No que refere aos fundamentos teóricos do letramento para a relização deste trabalho, buscou-se suporte na abordagem histórico-cultural. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso. Os dados foram coletados a partir da técnica de observação não participante, nas salas de aula localizadas nos canteiros de obras, no espaço da formação inicial e continuada do PEZP, tendo as observações sido registradas em diário de campo. Os dados foram coletados por meio da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os educandos-operários. Os resultados revelaram que os educandos pesquisados exercem práticas socias letradas e reconhecem o valor da leitura e da escrita para as suas atividades e a resolução de problemas cotidianos. As conclusões indicam a importância de serem trabalhadas as práticas pedagógicas, no processo de alfabetização de jovens e adultos, na perspectiva do uso social da leitura e da escrita.
