Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study focuses on the way in which the self-assessed reading, writing and oral abilities of pupils – both boys and girls – predict grades in different subjects at compulsory school. The supporting material for this study is a survey, conducted to 6,788 pupils in school year 9 (aged 15-16) of Swedish compulsory school in 2003. The results show that the three literacy skills – reading, writing and oral ability – do predict the grades but that the weighting is slightly different in the various subjects. In Swedish it is the self-assessed ability to write that primarily predicts the grade, while, in the other theoretical subjects, it is the pupil’s self-assessed reading ability that is predominant. There is a significant difference between how boys and girls assess their reading, writing and oral abilities. Girls demonstrate greater confidence in their ability to read and write. Boys, who feel that they have good oral ability, are at a disadvantage both in English and mathematics.

Are There Any Matthew Effects in Literacy and Cognitive Development?
- 2011
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research. - London UK : Routledge. - 0031-3831 .- 1470-1170. ; 55:2, s. 181-196
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Matthew effect is often used as a metaphor to describe a widening gap between good and poor readers over time. In this study we examined the development of individual differences in reading and cognitive functioning in children with reading difficulties and normal readers from Grades 1 to 3. Matthew effects were observed for individual differences in reading comprehension and vocabulary, but not on tests measuring word decoding, word recognition, or spelling, nor on non-verbal ability. However, these Matthew effects disappeared when controlling for home literacy activities and parent reading behavior, indicating that print exposure is one environmental condition involved in mediating Matthew effects. These findings are in line with the idea of the Matthew effect by Stanovich and the core assumption that reading comprehension is involved in a reciprocal relationship with vocabulary knowledge.

Skriftbruk i fordonsverkstaden : En studie av läs- och skrivstrategier i mötet med arbetslivets texter

Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The aim of the study was to describe the reading and writing activities that takes place in vehicle repair workshops and to elucidate how people experiencing low reading-and-writing ability describe their encounters with text in working life. Reading and writing are considered in the study from an educational-philosophical and special educational perspective. This study of literacy was inspired by ethnographic methods. The empirical material consists of field notes from ten participatory observations in vehicle repair workshops, photographs from the workshops and three interviews. To see patterns in how literacy was used, literacy events were taken as the unit of analysis. The literacy environment, community of practice, reading path and technical surroundings are analytical concepts in the thematic presentation of results. Central literacy practices were characterized primarily by reading, often via computer, for information needed for solving problems. The type of reading was often non-linear, given the multimodal texts and choices in computer environments. In addition, semiotic systems and several languages were interpreted. It is important to understand how information is organised and how to handle the technology. Technology provides support structures e.g. pictorial support and translation programmes. Writing out words, button-pushing and keyboard entry to register and search for information through the use of measurement instruments and in computer-generated text environments, were central. Literacy events were embedded in the work tasks and in ongoing learning, and many literacy practices included items of both reading and writing. Social skills, plus recognizing one’s problems and asking for help, were useful strategies for handling the demands of reading and writing in working life, as were allowing time and creating concentration for the task. Interpreting pictorial matter, using technology, copying text and noting down things to remember were further strategies. Implications of the study are that effective strategies for managing the demands of reading and writing that are required in the working place should begin in school. Significant is the teachers’ approach to handling the students’ frustration when studies are not working out as expected. Caring teachers, positive energy and not giving up make a difference. General education teachers need special educational resources in the upper-secondary school in order to counteract school failure and to enhance students’ learning.
