The majority of work on the double-deficit hypothesis (DDH) of dyslexia has been done at the letter and word levels of reading. Key research questions addressed in this study are (a) do readers with different subtypes of dyslexia display differences in fluency at particular reading levels (e.g., letter, word, and connected text)? and (b) do children with dyslexia identified by either low-achievement or ability-achievement discrepancy criteria show similar differences when classified by the DDH? To address these questions, the authors assessed a sample of 158 children with severe reading impairments in second and third grades on an extensive battery and classified them into three reader subtypes using the DDH. The results demonstrated that the three DDH subtypes exhibited differences in fluency at different levels of reading (letter, word, and connected text), underscoring the separate reading profiles of these subtypes and the different possible routes to dysfluency in reading disabilities. Furthermore, the results suggest that the different patterns among DDH subtypes are primarily driven by the ability-achievement discrepancy group. The implications of these findings are discussed for intervention, reading theory, and a more refined understanding of heterogeneity. 相似文献

ABSTRACT—The theme of Usable Knowledge in Mind, Brain, and Education will be a special section that will appear regularly in the journal. The section will focus on the synergistic connections between biology, cognitive science, and human development on the one hand and educational thought, policy, and practice on the other. Efforts to create usable knowledge in mind, brain, and education focus on questions that relate research and theory to educational practice, involving pedagogy and learning, discussions of how best to conduct ethical and valid research that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and consideration of how to use such research to promote responsible policy. 相似文献

As the College of Nursing at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville prepared to move their graduate programs online, a nursing
faculty grass-roots movement led to the implementation of a faculty development program. This instructional design portfolio
describes the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of this program, with the goal of identifying best practices
in the design of programs for learning to teach online. 相似文献

This study examined the relative contributions of phonological awareness, orthographic pattern recognition, and rapid letter
naming to fluent word and connected-text reading within a dyslexic sample of 123 children in second and third grades. Participants
were assessed on a variety of fluency measures and reading subskills. Correlations and hierarchical multiple regression analyses
were carried out to explore these relationships. The results demonstrate that phonological awareness, rapid letter naming,
and orthographic pattern recognition contribute to word-reading skills. Furthermore, rapid naming, orthographic pattern recognition,
and word reading fluency moderately predict different dimensions of connected-text reading (i.e., rate, accuracy, and comprehension)
whereas phonological awareness contributes only to the comprehension dimension of connected-text reading. The findings support
the multidimensional nature of fluency in which the whole is more than its parts. 相似文献

This study examined the heterogeneity within a sample of 140 urban second and third graders identified as at-risk for reading
failure due to inefficient word and/or nonword reading. Cluster analyses were conducted using standardized factor scores from
a four-factor structural equation model characterizing reading performance in this sample. These standardized factor scores
represented performance on four distinct factors: efficiency of word-level skills, text level skills, decoding, and vocabulary.
Results identified four clusters of children who show distinctive patterns of performance on the four factors of reading.
These understudied groups show different compositions along demographic categories and reading disability categories. Additionally,
they have unique instructional needs that call for differentiated instruction in the domains of phonological decoding, fluency,
text reading, and vocabulary. 相似文献

American K-12 school curricula are often bereft of acknowledgements of the historical contributions of Arab societies to our present-day intellectual heritage, an oversight most apparent in the sciences. Teachers in a thriving democracy are obliged to introduce contemporary scholarship that reflects the contributions of Arab scientists between the period of 850 and 1200 in the larger area of the Middle East. This article illuminates significant Arab scientists in history and offers appropriate resources for the K-12 classroom. 相似文献

This study investigates student interactions in a blog-based learning community in a university course. In addition, this study explores the dynamics of group interactions in individual blog-based environments compared with collaborative wiki-based educational activities. A learning community of 56 graduate students wrote individual blogs and weekly group summaries using a wiki environment. The posts were analyzed by identifying a post content type and explicit feedback promotions, and by counting the number of the blogger's own comments and the number of others’ comments per post, received from peers studying in the same versus the other offline group. The results show that choosing the appropriate type of post content (i.e., sharing experiences rather than providing information, explicitly calling for feedback, and providing the blogger's own comments) augments peer interaction in a blog environment, thus explaining 51.4% of variance in peer comments. Group interactions through comments in individual blogs, without the possibility of changing one another's content, seem to be non-intrusive and prompt interactions with offline as well as with online peers. In contrast, actual editing of texts through multi-authored collaborative wikis remained affected by student offline former acquaintance. The results are discussed in terms of social interactions and pedagogical beliefs. 相似文献
