Book Description
En 1872 el Dr. Berlin introdujo el neologismo dislexia, desde entonces este trastorno ha sido abordado por médicos, psicólogos, pedagogos, educadores... Cientos de investigadores y millones de padres la han tratado en diferente grado; los primeros dejando constancia de sus estudios a través de artículos y libros y los segundos enfrentándose con cierto desconocimiento y escasos recursos ante una particular forma de ser de sus hijos. En este libro, dos biólogos que se han especializado en neurociencias, tras una meticulosa revisión bibliográfica, han condensado en menos de 300 páginas aspectos básicos sobre el lenguaje, la escritura y la dislexia. Se citan y discuten interesantes enfoques que diferentes investigadores han propuesto a lo largo de la breve, pero intensa, historia del estudio de la dislexia. Con el texto resultante se pretende que padres, educadores e investigadores del trastorno tengan una herramienta de fácil manejo para entender la situación conceptual actual de la dislexia desde el punto de vista anatómico, fisiológico, cognitivo, genético, rehabilitador... Atractivas resultan las conclusiones a que llegan los autores, que como corolario aportan una nueva definición del trastorno: La dislexia es un trastorno que provoca dificultades para la lectura en algunos individuos intelectualmente aptos y social y educativamente bien dotados; que por condicionantes genéticos y ambientales tienen distribuciones y conexiones neuronales, que sin ser patológicas, son deficitarias o insuficientes para desarrollar plenamente una nueva capacidad humana: la lecto-escritura.

The Challenges of Education in Brazil
Author: Colin Brock
Publisher: Symposium Books Ltd
ISBN: 1873927894
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Education in Brazil has changed intensely over the last several years. Access to basic education is nearly universal, secondary education has been expanding very rapidly, and so too has higher education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. However, serious issues remain related to quality, equity and inappropriate use of resources. Some of these problems are related to the fact that Brazil started to develop its education institutions very late, and did not build strong teaching and academic professions that could provide the necessary support for education policies committed to equity, quality and efficiency. This book, written by leading experts, is the first English-language text to provide a comprehensive analysis of the challenges facing Brazilian education at all levels, including issues such as the quality of basic education, the establishment of standards for higher education, the experiences of technical and vocational schools, teacher education, regulation and financing of public and private higher education, and the growing role of graduate education and research.

Developing Reading Comprehension
Author: Paula J. Clarke
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118606744
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Developing Reading Comprehension “In recent years the debate about teaching young children to read has tended to focus upon equipping them with the crucially important knowledge and skills they need to read words accurately in and out of context, that is to say, teaching them how the alphabet works for reading and spelling. While such knowledge and skills are essential, more is required for children to become literate, fluent readers who understand what they read. In short, the goal of reading is comprehension. This book scrupulously examines the obstacles to reading comprehension and exemplifies what can be done to help children overcome them. It is an important and timely contribution to securing high-quality teaching of the range of attributes children need to become fully-fledged readers.” Sir Jim Rose, CBE “The studies by Professors Charles Hulme and Maggie Snowling and their team over two decades based around the Reading Intervention Programme are the most sustained, comprehensive and rigorous research series on reading yet conducted in the UK. Their increasing focus on children who experience the most difficulty in reading is exactly where attention should be directed. This volume summarises the team’s achievements to date, and is most eagerly awaited.” Greg Brooks, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Sheffield, Member of European High Level Group of Experts on Literacy “Developing Reading Comprehension presents a landmark study from the top research team in the UK on how to improve reading comprehension. It’s an exemplary masters-level textbook written with undergraduate-level lucidity and approachability.” Colin Harrison, Emeritus Professor of Literacy Studies in Education, University of Nottingham A significant minority of children aged 7–11, despite being able to read fluently and accurately, have difficulty extracting meaning from text. This detailed guide offers three evidence-based intervention programmes, drawn from the cutting edge of educational psychology, for improving the reading skills of children in this group. It includes a definitive introduction to the characteristics of the ‘poor comprehender profile’, and explains how to monitor and assess students’ experiences and learning outcomes. With invaluable strategies for teachers, psychologists and special educational needs coordinators, the book will help professionals to support learners in their efforts to explore the full richness of language and to read with real understanding.
