Universitetsstudenter med dyslexi : Läsförmåga och studiestrategier
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Många länder strävar efter ett breddat intag till universitetsstudier och att öka andelen ungdomar som går vidare till högskolestudier. Samtidigt som rekryteringen vidgas ökar antalet studenter med dyslexi i högre utbildning. Denna studie undersöker universitetsstudenter med dyslexi, hur deras studiesituation ser ut, samt de strategier som studenter med dessa problem använder.Resultat av intervjuer, självrapporter och test från 52 studenter, huvudsakligen vid lärar- och sjuksköterskeutbildningar, visar att studenterna har tydliga svårigheter med snabb och effektiv ordavkodning men att de använder många olika kompensatoriska metoder för att klara sina studier. Studiemoment som upplevs som särskilt krävande är att göra föreläsningsanteckningar, akademiskt skrivande och att läsa engelsk kurslitteratur. Kompensation sker både med hjälp av stöd som ges av universitetet, som exempelvis förlängd tid vid skriftliga examinationer och användning av informationsteknologi, samt genom egna personliga strategier. Resultaten indikerar att det finns stora kunskapsgap hos institutionerna när det gäller studenter som har dyslexi.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: To date, studies investigating the association between pre-biologic biomarker levels and post-biologic outcomes have been limited to single biomarkers and assessment of biologic efficacy from structured clinical trials.Aim: To elucidate the associations of pre-biologic individual biomarker levels or their combinations with pre-to-post biologic changes in asthma outcomes in real-life.Methods: This was a registry-based, cohort study using data from 23 countries, which shared data with the International Severe Asthma Registry (May 2017-February 2023). The investigated biomarkers (highest pre-biologic levels) were immunoglobulin E (IgE), blood eosinophil count (BEC) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO). Pre- to approximately 12-month post-biologic change for each of three asthma outcome domains (i.e. exacerbation rate, symptom control and lung function), and the association of this change with pre-biologic biomarkers was investigated for individual and combined biomarkers.Results: Overall, 3751 patients initiated biologics and were included in the analysis. No association was found between pre-biologic BEC and pre-to-post biologic change in exacerbation rate for any biologic class. However, higher pre-biologic BEC and FeNO were both associated with greater post-biologic improvement in FEV1 for both anti-IgE and anti-IL5/5R, with a trend for antiI-IL4R alpha. Mean FEV1 improved by 27-178 mL post-anti-IgE as pre-biologic BEC increased (250 to 1000 cells/mu L), and by 43-216 mL and 129-250 mL post-anti-IL5/5R and - anti- IL4R alpha, respectively along the same BEC gradient. Corresponding improvements along a FeNO gradient (25-100 ppb) were 41-274 mL, 69-207 mL and 148-224 mL for anti-IgE, anti-IL5/5R, and anti-IL4R alpha, respectively. Higher baseline BEC was also associated with lower probability of uncontrolled asthma (OR 0.392; p=0.001) post-biologic for anti-IL5/5R. Pre-biologic IgE was a poor predictor of subsequent pre-to-post-biologic change for all outcomes assessed for all biologics. The combination of BEC + FeNO marginally improved the prediction of post-biologic FEV1 increase (adjusted R-2: 0.751), compared to BEC (adjusted R-2: 0.747) or FeNO alone (adjusted R-2: 0.743) (p=0.005 and <0.001, respectively); however, this prediction was not improved by the addition of IgE.Conclusions: The ability of higher baseline BEC, FeNO and their combination to predict biologic-associated lung function improvement may encourage earlier intervention in patients with impaired lung function or at risk of accelerated lung function decline.

"To read or not to read - that is the question" : Reading engagement and reading habits in a gender perspective

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The PISA 2009 student questionnaire posed several questions about reading habits and reading attitudes, and many of these questions were also represented in the student questionnaire in PISA 2000. Thus, we are able to study Nordic boys´ and girls´reading habits and engagement over time. Although there are some differences between the Nordic countries, the overall impression is that Nordic 15-year olds spent less time reading for enjoyment in 2009 than they did in 2000. However, they spent more time online in 2009 than they did in 2000. Gender differences favouring girls were great in 2000, both in terms of reading achievement and reading engagement, and this picture has not changed in 2009. Furthermore, the weakest readers read far less in their leisure time than the best readers. In all the Nordic countries and for both genders, reading engagement shows a higher correlation with reading scores than social background. Lastly, we relate our findings to current research and discuss the implications they may have for teachers and students.

Measuring quality, learning, and knowledge in the knowledge society : Paper presentation at the Nordic European Research Association, March. Reykjavik, Iceland
- 2004

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The quality movement has stimulated changes in teaching, learning, and school development. Changes in policy and pedagogy have occurred at the local, national, and international levels, focusing on �quality indicators� for measuring student learning, and new methods and paradigms in assessment. Recent data collected from the PISA study has stimulated further discussion about quality in education across countries, while the EU Commission has supported the development of a benchmarking process to facilitate quality development in European schools. This fundamental emphasis on quality and self-assessment, in a context of globalization and citizenship education, has stimulated an ideological debate about what it means to measure quality, learning and knowledge in the knowledge society. Set within the context of the discussion about quality within the EU and OECD, and the potential ideological paradox, this presentation focuses on the use of comparison data from PISA and the European Education Quality Benchmark System (2EQBS) to provide educators with tools for addressing quality in schools. Specifically we will show ways in which schools can adapt the principles and philosophies of quality to serve as a guide for building learning environments that support youth development in the knowledge age, rather than merely addressing inspection standards
