Exploring an intervention’s impact on everyday school activities     

Marianne Björn  Idor Svensson 《Support for Learning》2021,36(1):5-19

The focus of this paper is on a group of pupils with reading and writing difficulties who have been participating in an intervention study using assistive technology. That intervention study contained supervised training sessions with reading and writing tasks using an iPad with special supportive applications. The current study is a qualitative investigation of whether there has been any transfer from the intervention, to the pupils’ everyday school activities. Interviews with pupils and their teachers and observations during classroom lectures have been used to collect data. The results show that the pupils were positive to the assistive technology (the applications on the iPads), they found the apps easy to learn how to use and they appreciated the benefits they could give. Even so, only a few of the pupils had found use for and continued to use the tools after the intervention period finished. Possible reasons are that when the novelty wore off, students reverted to their usual study habits and that older students with many teachers and different classrooms were less able to adapt to using the apps. To improve transfer, it is suggested to introduce assistive technology earlier to students, in the younger grades, before study habits have been formed and to inform teachers about the use of AT in the classroom, including what is available and how it can benefit students.  相似文献   

Children's responses to the interactivity of storybook apps in family shared reading events involving the iPad          下载免费PDF全文

《Literacy》2017,51(1):44-52

This paper reports on some data on the effects of screen‐based interactivity on children's engagement with storybook apps during family shared book reading that were gathered in a 2‐year, small‐scale ethnographic case study in Spain. Data analysis focuses on the complex interplay between the storybook app's interactive features and the children's responses to them. Our findings show that interactive elements increase the child's autonomy, as they tend to promote the importance of the reader, positioning him or her as a collaborator, storyteller, an author or an internal character in the fiction; something that can materialise in exciting narrative strategies that can trigger powerful responses to digital literary texts in emergent readers, including playing, creating new fictions or engaging emotionally with the story. Finally, we argue that the Reader Response models that have been used over recent decades to understand children's reading experiences with storybooks need to be revised to better understand their current experiences with interactive texts.  相似文献

论阅读教学中“教”“学”主体的转变     

黄朝霞 《湖南第一师范学报》2011,11(6):43-47

在应试教育的大背景下，阅读教学已经异化为应试教学，沦落为应试教育的手段。阅读教学要做到优质高效，并对整个小学语文教学起到重要的拉动作用，必须实现由“教”到“学”的主体转变，即课堂教学要由从以教师“教”为中心转变到以学生“学”为中心。只有经历这样的转变，阅读教学才能实现质的跨越。  相似文献   

普通话教学中朗读环节易见的口语语感问题及解决方法     

陈昌辉 《保定师专学报》2014,(2):107-111

在普通话教学中,朗读是学生最容易出现口语语感问题的环节,最常见的口语语感问题是停连不当、重音不准确、节奏把握不当。学生无法做到完全的情景再现,对内在语把握不准,情感运动不到位和过于关注细节是造成上述问题的主要原因。可以通过体验式感受、情景式教学、表演式表达以及暗示教学法帮助学生解决朗读中的口语语感问题。  相似文献
