O papel do computador no ensino da leitura : um estudo comparativo entre duas estratégias

Os estudos realizados no âmbito da leitura têm-se multiplicado de um modo muito significativo, nos últimos tempos. O interesse por esta competência tem a ver com o facto de a leitura avocar um papel fundamental na aprendizagem e no sucesso educativo. A leitura é considerada como um utensílio indispensável que possibilita aos leitores aderir a um conjunto de experiências e saberes. O insucesso na aquisição da leitura influencia, por vezes, a aprendizagem noutros campos disciplinares e desinteresse escolar. Como o domínio desta competência emerge desde logo nos primeiros anos escolares, é necessária a aplicação correcta de actividades neste campo e um treino sistemático.

O professor frente aos processos de aprendizagem da leitura : o combate às dificuldades

RESUMO: A aprendizagem da leitura é uma conquista primordial na trajetória de vida de uma criança. A educação, atualmente, percorre grandes e diferentes discussões, e as dificuldades de aprendizagem na leitura são uma realidade visível, comprovadas através de pesquisas. Contudo devem ser vencidas. O presente estudo tem como proposta identificar as concepções e estratégias de um grupo de professores que atuam diretamente com o aluno no âmbito da aprendizagem formal da leitura, no processo do ato de ler. Conhecer as práticas pedagógicas que são desenvolvidas na sala de aula, as explicações para o sucesso e o insucesso na aprendizagem da leitura. A forma como o aluno aprende e verificar diretamente, a partir de um grupo de alunos, suas dificuldades de não saber ler, sentidas pelos próprios, e como o professor as soluciona, suas explicações encontradas para as dificuldades de aprendizagem, e o impacto que causam na vida pessoal e social do aprendente e do ensinante. Saber o que fazer e como fazer quando se descobrem falhas do aluno ou do método na compreensão da leitura é uma das características das mais desejáveis e essencial no desenvolvimento do ensino da leitura e uma das diferenças mais acentuadas entre professores aplicados e os destituídos de um compromisso sagrado no seu papel de educador. Para atender aos objetivos pretendidos, foram realizadas entrevistas semi–estruturadas, sustentadas por roteiros, com alunos (20) e professores (10) em duas escolas públicas municipais do ciclo fundamental na cidade de Aracaju. Os resultados apontam para um desconhecimento dos métodos e das teorias cognitivas. No que tange aos alunos percebe-se a dificuldade, sentida pelo próprio aluno em não saber ler, como algo corriqueiro. Os achados deste estudo nos fazem pensar que o professor munícipe precisa rever seus métodos e processos de educação, sem os quais continuaremos a assistir um sistema educacional desmotivado e indiferente ao desenvolvimento de competências e capacidades críticas no processamento da aprendizagem da leitura no primeiro ano do Ciclo Básico. ABSTRACT: The learning of reading is a prime achievement on the path of a child‟s life. Education, nowadays, courses large and different discussions and the learning difficulties are easily seen, proved by researches. However they must be overcome. This article has as proposal to identify the conceptions and strategies of a teacher‟s group that acts directly with the student in the area of formal learning of reading, it means the reading process. And also to know the teaching practices that are developed in classroom, the explanations to the achievement or failure of reading. The way how the student learns and to verify directly, based on a group of students, their difficulties experienced by themselves, and how the teacher solve those, his explanations about the difficulties that were found, and the impact they bring to learner‟s and teacher‟s personal and social lives. to know what to do and how to do when student‟s flaws or imperfections on the reading comprehension method are found is one of the most desirable and essential characteristics on the development of (he reading learning)and one of the most pointed differences by teachers concerned and unconcerned about their commitment to the teacher role. To attend to the claimed aims, it has been done semi structured interviews, held by a list of topics, with twenty students and ten teachers in two public schools in Aracaju city. The results show ignorance on the methods and theories. When it comes to the students it‟s easy to see that the difficulty is faced by those who can‟t read, as something normal. The results of this work make us think that the public teacher needs to review his methods and educational processes; otherwise we are going to continue watching an educational system despondent and unconcerned about the development of criticizing skills on the process of reading learning in Junior High.

Optical And Nonoptical Aids For Reading And Writing In Individuals With Acquired Low Vision.

To evaluate the use of optical and nonoptical aids during reading and writing activities in individuals with acquired low vision. This study was performed using descriptive and cross-sectional surveys. The data collection instrument was created with structured questions that were developed from an exploratory study and a previous test based on interviews, and it evaluated the following variables: personal characteristics, use of optical and nonoptical aids, and activities that required the use of optical and nonoptical aids. The study population included 30 subjects with acquired low vision and visual acuities of 20/200-20/400. Most subjects reported the use of some optical aids (60.0%). Of these 60.0%, the majority (83.3%) cited spectacles as the most widely used optical aid. The majority (63.3%) of subjects also reported the use of nonoptical aids, the most frequent ones being letter magnification (68.4%), followed by bringing the objects closer to the eyes (57.8%). Subjects often used more than one nonoptical aid. The majority of participants reported the use of optical and nonoptical aids during reading activities, highlighting the use of spectacles, magnifying glasses, and letter magnification; however, even after the use of these aids, we found that the subjects often needed to read the text more than once to understand it. During writing activities, all subjects reported the use of optical aids, while most stated that they did not use nonoptical aids for such activities.

Letters and cities: reading the urban environment with the help of perception theories

When wandering around a city such as Sao Paulo, we are surrounded by letters, numbers and symbols. These elements form part of an environment full of signs in many shapes and sizes that compete for our attention. Our perception of these elements contributes towards our spatial guidance and sense of place. The idea of `reading` the city, or urban environment, was introduced by Kevin Lynch, for whom reading the urban structure follows on from recognizing or identifying its numerous visual elements, not necessarily verbal ones. Beginning with a brief bibliographic review of perception theories, this article combines concepts from environmental psychology with concerns brought up by the fields of information design and epigraphy studies, setting out the basis of a methodological proposal for the study of typography and lettering in the urban environment.

Dress for Dissent: Reading the Almost Unreadable

The changing ways of clothing in Australia, which has communicated disaffection within the public sphere, is enquired. The relationship between clothes as protested in everyday public life, and those exceptional, socially disruptive clothes on view at specific protest gatherings, are also explored. It is shown that dissident dress in the 1980s demonstrated a greater degree of solidarity in its radical difference from mainstream dress of 2000s. It is suggested that building on reconceptualised notion of protest dressing as process not fixity, the relationship of dissident dress to the mainstream has become, for the most part, less dichotomous.

A Critical Appraisal of Narrative in Sport History: Reading the Surf Lifesaving Debate

All debates in history—who started the Cold War, how successful were the Chartists in achieving their aims, to what extent was the recession of the American frontier culturally significant in American history— are debates between competing narrative interpretations. Moreover, because the historical imagination itself exists intertextually within our own social and political environment, the past is never discovered set aside from everyday life. History is designed and composed in the here and now.
