Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation is about reading instruction in six mixed-aged classes, called child schools, with six and seven year old children. The overall questions of this study were: How did the teachers in child schools organise work in general and reading instruction in particular? How did they handle for example the increasing range of variation concerning knowledge and skills that goes together with increasing variation of age? With respect to reading the investigation also examined the content of reading instruction and the extent to which teachers took into account those factors that, according to reading research, are important for the acquisition of reading skills? Overall the research aimed to examine how the reading ability of the pupils developed during their first years at school. Six child schools were included in the study. The data collection extended over three years and contained field studies, interviews with the staff and reading tests with the pupils. Reading theories were used to analyse the form of the reading instruction and Basil Bernstein's theory of visible and invisible pedagogy was used to analyse pedagogical practice in its context. With one exception a visible pedagogy dominated in all the child schools. During lessons designated "my own work" the pupils were allowed to plan their work. This weak framing allowed the pupils to sort themselves into groups of more or less successful learners. In reading instruction, elements of two different models for instruction were combined, e.g. the whole language and the basal reading approach. My conclusion is that this combination is effective in a mixed-age group. Pupils at different competence levels benefit from different approaches. The reading comprehension of the child school pupils did not differ from the levels obtained with comparable pupils in national surveys. The test results, like the learning conditions varied between the schools. In my view the test results were not merely a consequence of the instruction, but also of other circumstances that interacted with the pedagogy.

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.
