This study reports two different experiments, as a part of a longitudinal study, that evaluated a cognitive intervention (PREP:
PASS Reading Enhancement Program) to enhance early phonological processing skills, such as odd-word-out, segmenting, and blending,
to kindergarten children at-rish for reading difficulties, in order to support the development of subsequent word reading
skills. As part of the first experiment, thirty children aged 5.1, matched on the basis of age, gender, parental education
levels, Non-verbal and Verbal IQ, were assigned to an experimental and a control group (15 in each group) and compared before
and after the four-week intervention on a set of phonological and cognitive (successive and simultaneous processing) measures.
The two groups of participants were screened to be significantly different at pre-test on the outcome measures. The results
of the first experiment indicated that the experimental group performed equally well with the control group on all the measures
of phonological and cognitive processing skills. Subsequent analysis focusing on aptitude-treatment interaction indicated
that the PREP program appeared to be optimally successful in improving phonological skills in cases where the cognitive profile
of the 5-year-olds matched the emphasis on successive information integration. The follow-up experiment examined the long-term
effects of PREP remediation. Results showed that both the experimental and control groups performed equally well on word reading
tasks and, more importantly, on the bridging PREP tasks, requiring knowledge of the alphabet and of letter-sound correspondences,
despite that neither of the groups had been previously trained on the latter. Discussion concludes that intervention including
inductive training on the distal cognitive processes, namely successive and simultaneous processing, appears to be effective
for enhancing early word-reading skills to kindergarten children at-risk for reading difficulties, even in the absence of
direct training of these skills in kindergarten. 相似文献

This article is concerned with exploring the ways in which head teachers’ leadership for social justice is understood and enacted within the context of inclusion. Head teachers’ leadership praxis is influenced by individual understandings of social justice, as well as dominant institutional realities and policy priorities that indicate the extent to which there is commitment to the process of socially just change. This commitment is significantly manifested in the ways in which an educational system advances new forms of professionalism, effectiveness indicators and accountability regimes that are aligned with concerns about providing socially just and non-discriminatory learning communities for learner diversity. 相似文献

Notwithstanding the recent signing and ratification by Cyprus of another International Convention on the rights of students designated as having special educational needs and/or disabilities to attend mainstream schools on an equal basis with their peers, local policy and practice promote an ‘exclusionary inclusion’ that draws a discernible line between general and special education. This paper concentrates on exploring the role of special education teachers in Cyprus in the light of policy concerns about providing the ‘least restrictive’ learning environment for this group of students and enabling them ‘to reach their full potential’. It is suggested that the role of special education teachers embodies and reflects reductionist forms of inclusion informed by deficit-oriented and assimilationist special education perspectives, while there is also evidence of a lack of professionalism and accountability. The paper draws on head teachers’ and special education teachers’ interviews in order to portray the ways in which they view and experience the role of special education teachers in mainstream schools in Cyprus. New objectives and future directions are identified and discussed. 相似文献
