Abstract:

Reading skills assessments have demonstrated that middle-grade Mississippi school children are on average two full grade levels or more below grade reading levels. This qualitative case study in one urban county Mississippi school district with decreasing literacy scores examined teachers' perceptions of evidence-based literacy instruction methods, which may improve literacy problem in this district. The constructive learning theory provided the conceptual framework for this study. The research questions addressed teacher perceptions regarding recommended instructional strategies, limiting factors in student literacy, and suggestions about improving literacy teaching. Ten middle-grade teachers from 3 district schools participated in semi-structured interviews on research-based instructional strategies, methods, and curriculum materials. Data from interviews and observations of teacher meetings were coded and analyzed thematically. Key findings included a lack of teacher knowledge about some evidence-based literacy instruction methods and uncertainty about the evidence supporting instructional methods. Administrative issues also emerged that impeded literacy instruction. The outcome of this study was a presentation to district administrators and a 3-day professional development (PD) program for teachers, with content tailored to address the needs of teachers in the 3 schools. This study fills a gap in the literature regarding the classroom use of evidence-based practices in schools with struggling students. The study provides a blueprint to help teachers improve their literacy instruction competency and ultimately improve the literacy skills of the students in this district.

Abstract:

No Child Left Behind (NCLB) along with the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA) have provided students with the opportunity to receive remedial services without having to be referred for diagnostic testing through a process referred to as Response to Intervention (RtI). While this process can prove to be beneficial for the student, the extra work that is being placed on teachers can cause teachers to form a negative perception of this process. In addition to the extra work, there is little research to support RtI in the secondary schools. Secondary school administrators are trying to implement RtI programs that were designed for self-contained elementary schools into a secondary setting and the results have not been favorable. This study aims to measure middle school teachers’ self-perceptions of RTI and how these perceptions affect their implementation of RtI with fidelity.

Abstract:

School administrators at a middle school in the northeastern United States lacked understanding regarding reading services and teaching strategies to improve African American middle school (AA MS) males' performance on standardized state reading assessments. English language arts (ELA) teachers' perspectives on and experiences of teaching reading to AA MS males at the target site were explored using Kolb's model of experiential learning. A qualitative intrinsic case study with an anonymous survey was used to collect data at the target site. Fifteen individuals who met inclusion criteria of being 6th- or 7th-grade ELA teachers at the target site were recruited using purposeful sampling. First-cycle data analysis with initial coding was followed by second-cycle analysis using axial coding. Through the process of iterative categorization, key themes emerged. Findings based on themes indicate that when teaching AA males, teachers need to develop a positive relationship, demonstrate an understanding of cultural responsiveness, show understanding and patience when issues or problems arise, develop agreement on clear expectations, and use relevant topics and a variety of resources. A project study was developed that led to recommendations to support ELA teachers instructing AA MS male students and to use targeted professional development to improve teachers' knowledge and skills. Adoption of the recommendations could improve teachers' knowledge, skills, and understanding, resulting in more effective reading instruction for AA males and better supports for their academic success.

Abstract:

A local and national concern in education is the persistent achievement gap between African American and Caucasian middle school students. Despite numerous reforms, the gap continues to show African American middle school students performing lower in reading. The purpose of this mixed methods study, framed in the theoretical perspective of Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, was to examine teachers' expectations and the relationship between those expectations and the educational outcomes of African American middle school children. Data were collected to identify pedagogical practices, examine teacher expectations, and determine the relationship between those expectations and student Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) scores. Nineteen middle school teachers volunteered to take the Regalla Adaptive Teachers' Expectation Survey, which quantified teachers' expectations for student achievement using items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (5 = strongly agree with high expectation statement). Pedagogy was examined through 12 classroom observations and archival data provided CRCT scores for 650 African American students. Based on survey results, the mean score for teacher expectations was 4.47 out of 5.00. Observations established that 8 out of 12 teachers were rated proficient in terms of instructional plans. Correlation analysis determined a significant and direct relationship between teachers' expectation scores and middle school students' scores on the CRCT (p < .05). The results highlight the importance of teacher expectations for student achievement. The implications for social change include using the findings at the local site to communicate to teachers the importance of having high expectations for all students to improve the achievement levels of all middle school students and close the achievement gap.

Abstract:

The overarching goal of this study was to obtain the perceptions of 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade English Language Arts teachers of their students’ reading skills, specifically comprehension and fluency, and those students’ readiness for high school English. The study proposed a comprehensive conceptual model of effective strategies reading teachers use and what prepared middle school students have in order to matriculate into high school. This research advanced the discussion of basic skills students need to matriculate into high school ELA and what hinders their matriculation. A mixed methods study with a threefold purpose was conducted. First, the study explored and described the perceptions of teachers of middle school students’ reading skills specifically those skills associated with comprehension and fluency. Second, it explored and discussed if middle school students exhibited sufficient basic skills associated with comprehension and fluency in ELA to matriculate into high school courses and succeed. Third, the study explored and described teachers’ perceptions of essential skills needed to transfer into high school ELA. Student readiness was explored in six focus groups with 25 teacher participants and three district supervisor interviews. Teachers and supervisors provided data on student readiness and skill deficiencies and proficiencies in comprehension and fluency. Data collection methods included teacher survey and district supervisor and teacher interviews. Findings indicated that student readiness for high school ELA is average; students’ basic skills in comprehension and fluency is also average; and students’ are lacking in basic skills needed to succeed in high school ELA courses. Narrative and descriptive statistics detailed students’ preparation, students’ reading skills, and students’ comprehension and fluency.

Abstract:

With the implementation of more rigorous reading standards nationwide, teachers are feeling less secure about their abilities to teach students to become proficient readers. Utilizing Bandura's theory of self-efficacy as the conceptual framework, the purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how teachers perceived their self-efficacy to teach complex reading standards to struggling readers. Seven middle school English language arts teachers from 2 schools in a southern school district participated in this study. The research questions addressed teachers' understanding of the recent Common Core literacy standards and perceptions of their own self-efficacy to teach mastery of these standards to struggling readers. Semi-structured interviews with teacher study participants were recorded, transcribed, coded, and then analyzed in search of common themes. Findings showed that teachers perceived themselves to be knowledgeable about the literacy standards but, believed themselves unprepared to teach mastery of the standards to students who read significantly below grade level. Middle school teachers in this study claimed they had received no training that emphasized effective strategies for struggling readers and believed that training in such strategies and more collaboration with colleagues would increase their self-efficacy to enhance reading skills of struggling students. The resulting project created from the findings was a series of professional development sessions for middle school teachers to explain reading strategies that support the reading development of struggling readers. This study could affect positive social change by identifying ways in which middle school teachers may become more empowered to teach struggling readers. When teachers are empowered, their confidence and self-efficacy levels increase, and students benefit from effective instruction.

Abstract:

Students with learning disabilities are often unable to master reading comprehension and often fail to acquire reading comprehension skills at basic levels as measured on reading achievement assessments. Reading intervention programs Compass Learning and SRA Corrective Reading teach students how to apply strategies to their reading to improve their understanding of written text. The purpose of this quantitative ex-post facto research design was to determine the extent to which the reading intervention programs implemented at the research school improved reading achievement scores for seventh grade students with learning disabilities in reading, and to determine how much scores changed from the pretests to the posttests for two intervention groups. The theoretical framework for this study was the cognitive load theory. Data included Scholastic Reading Inventory scores from a convenience sample of 46 seventh grade students with learning disabilities in reading. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA pretest-posttest design. Data analyses indicated statistically significant differences in the reading achievement scores of the student participants, indicating they had higher reading achievement scores after participating in targeted reading interventions. This research contributes to positive social change by motivating students to be actively engaged in their reading and apply the skills they have learned as a result of participating in targeted reading interventions. This research also prepares students for the competitive job market through identifying viable interventions to help improve their reading comprehension skills.

Abstract:

In a suburban alternative school, educators of at-risk students reading below grade level often struggled to provide effective reading instruction. As a result, these students were likely to continue to experience academic difficulties, which could limit their career options and their opportunities to contribute to the betterment of society. This study addressed the gap between reading strategies teachers actually used in the classroom and the reading strategies they learned during professional development. The research questions focused on the instructional challenges teachers experienced while working with struggling readers in an alternative school setting. Mastery learning theory and the adult adragogical theory were used in this case study to explore experiences of 6 teachers concerning the use of reading strategies in an alternative middle school setting. Data were collected with interviews, observations, and from archival work samples. Findings revealed that for teachers serving in an alternative school setting, there was a need for additional strategy-related support for struggling readers, collaborative professional development with a focus on literacy, and teacher acquisition of vocabulary and comprehension strategies. The resulted project consists of a data-driven professional development program designed to help instructors teach reading strategies to assist struggling student readers. This project contributes to positive social change through a targeted implementation of instructional literacy practices that teachers in all content areas can use to help struggling readers in an alternative school settings to experience greater academic success.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a significant relationship existed between teacher attrition and student success in middle school reading by conducting a quantitative analysis. Additionally, the inclusion of school demographic characteristics were included in the model to consider previous findings referencing the challenges schools face in attracting and retaining teachers in low performing urban schools with high populations of economically disadvantaged and minority students. In this analysis, the relationship between teacher attrition and student achievement in middle school as measured by the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) for reading among middle school students in Grades 6, 7, and 8, as reported on the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), were examined. The regression models used to analyze the three research questions addressed in the study include an examination of teacher attrition on campus pass rates, and grade level pass rates for sixth, seventh, and eighth grades as measured by the STAAR Reading assessment. The data utilized in this study were collected from seven North Texas middle schools in a fast growth school district together with their comparable campuses as identified by the Texas Education Agency for the school years 2013-2014 through 2015-2016. The results of the analysis indicate teacher attrition accounts for a significant variance in STAAR Reading pass rates among middle school students. Additionally, the school demographic characteristics defined as percentage economically disadvantaged, percentage English language learners, mobility rates, and percentage white students account for 83.4% of the variance in the average campus pass rates for STAAR Reading when combined.

Abstract:

In order to achieve academic success, students must be able to comprehend written material in content-area textbooks. However, a large number of high school students struggle to comprehend science content. Research findings have demonstrated that students make measurable gains in comprehending content-area textbooks when provided quality reading comprehension instruction. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of how high school science teachers perceived their responsibility to provide content-related comprehension instruction and 10 high school science teachers were interviewed for this study. Data analysis consisted of open, axial, and selective coding. The findings revealed that 8 out of the 10 participants believed that it is their responsibility to provide reading comprehension. However, the findings also revealed that the participants provided varying levels of reading comprehension instruction as an integral part of their science instruction. The potential for positive social change could be achieved by teachers and administrators. Teachers may use the findings to reflect upon their own personal feelings and beliefs about providing explicit reading comprehension. In addition to teachers' commitment to reading comprehension instruction, administrators could deliberate about professional development opportunities that might improve necessary skills, eventually leading to better comprehension skills for students and success in their education.

Abstract:

The local school district in the current study was struggling to meet adequate yearly progress (AYP) targets in reading because secondary students were scoring below the basic level in reading and their content area teachers had little or no training in reading deficiencies. What had been speculated, yet never tested, was the utility of teacher training in research-based reading programs and interventions on increasing reading achievement scores. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine issues hampering RTI implementation. This case study focused on analyzing the perceptions of secondary RTI teachers within an urban school district in Texas. The theoretical framework was based on cognitive and social constructivist theory. The research question investigated the best approach to improve teachers' knowledge and implementation of the RTI framework to increase students' reading achievement. Interview data were collected from 3 RTI teachers who had more than 3 years of teaching experience. Data were analyzed through lean coding by using provisional codes to reduce codes to 3 major themes. Reports from the 3 teachers suggested that they all encountered many challenges in implementing RTI; additionally they all conveyed that they needed more support from administrators, access to prescribed resources, and consistent guidelines in program implementation. A white paper was developed to inform the local district on RTI implementation challenges and provide recommendations for improvement. This study impacts social change by providing administrators and educators with information that could improve implementation practices and result in better understanding of RTI.

Abstract:

The focus of this research was to investigate and clarify the work lives of middle school literacy coaches in central Florida by studying their backgrounds and experiences before assuming the role of literacy coach. Additionally, the beliefs of literacy coaches on what factors influence reading achievement were examined. The responses of 44 participating middle school literacy coaches were used to investigate (a) the academic and professional experiences of each coach, (b) the percentage of time spent in 13 literacy coaching activities, and (c) the working factors related to student reading achievement as evidenced on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Data from a web-based survey and personal interviews were used to collect pertinent data to create an awareness and understanding of the work lives of middle school literacy coaches. Descriptive statistics were used to present demographic information regarding the coaches. Exploratory regression analyses were performed using time devoted to coaching activities and school performance data to determine existing relationships. Qualitative analyses were used to determine emergent literacy coach themes from survey responses. All data were triangulated to develop case studies for a group of 10 literacy coaches. Narrative descriptions of all coaching and individual school data were presented in the context of schools' percentage of student subgroups that attained Adequate Yearly Progress in 2010. The results of the study indicated that, although literacy coaches believed that modeling lessons was the most influential activity in positively affecting reading proficiency, very little of their time was spent in that activity. Recommendations included professional development for administrators on the use of a literacy coach and for literacy coaches on their usage of time.

Abstract:

It has been common for elementary teachers to read aloud to their students; however, it has not been so common in the middle school. The purpose of this phenomenological case study was to examine how middle school teachers and their students describe the use of read-alouds, including the teachers’ reasons for conducting read-alouds and the students’ descriptions of their experiences with them. Individual interviews and observations were conducted with two teachers and six students to gain the essence of their experiences with read-alouds. Results from this study indicated that what students gained from read-alouds matched the reasons their teachers utilized them. The students described their experiences as enjoyable, helpful to independent reading, motivating, engaging, and a learning opportunity which were all reasons their teachers stated for reading aloud. Findings in this study also indicated the fidelity with which read-alouds were implemented by teachers was impacted by district mandates and the pressure of preparing students for state tests. Results indicated students prospered both cognitively and affectively from listening to teachers read aloud. This study can be used to inform middle school teachers and administrators of the value of using read-alouds.

Full text

Abstract:

The use of technology in assisting educators to use student data in well-devised ways to enhance the instruction received by students is gaining headway and the support of federal dollars across the nation. Since research has not provided insight as to whether or not reading coaches are using data technology tools with teachers, this mixed methods study sought to examine what behavioral intentions reading coaches have in using data technology tools with teachers, what variables may influence their behavioral intentions, and what trends may emerge in their views about using technology data tools with teachers. A mixed methods approach was deployed via a survey embedded in an email, and data from 61 Florida reading coaches from elementary, middle, and high schools in a large urban school district were examined using an adaptation of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The results showed that collectively all reading coaches have a high level of behavioral intentions towards using a data technology tool with teachers. The study also showed that elementary, middle, and high school reading coaches vary in their degree of behavioral intentions in using a data technology tool based on different variables. Trends in data showed that reading coaches think data technology tools are helpful, but that trainings are needed and that technology tools should be user-friendly. Discussion is provided regarding the implications of the study results for all stakeholders.

Abstract:

Students, educators, and schools across the country have been presented with challenges as a result of rigorous standards and high-complexity tests. The problem addressed in this case study was that teachers in a rural middle school in a southeastern state were preparing students to take a new high-stakes state-mandated assessment in English language arts with very little information about what should be done to best prepare students to perform well. Danielson's work on instructional leaders, Webb's work on alignment of standards and assessments, and Tankersley's research on alignment of instruction and assessment provided the frameworks for the study. The participants were 6 teachers and 2 administrators at a local rural middle school who either taught English language arts or supervised those teachers before the first administrations of the new test. The research questions were designed to gather through interviews, local educators' descriptions of their test preparation methods, activities, the information and training provided to them prior to the new tests, and their views about what was needed to better prepare students. Interview data were coded and analyzed for common themes. Findings were that participants felt they had limited prior information about the tests, that their previous instructional methods were ineffective, and that local teachers needed training in order to design and implement effective reading instruction aligned with test objectives to better prepare students for more rigorous academic tasks. This study and the resulting professional development project for teachers have the potential to affect positive social change at the local level by helping teachers improve literacy instruction aligned with standards and assessments. Consequently, students will be better prepared to access the increased rigor of the standards and the assessments.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och beskriva de uppfattningar några lärare i grundsärskolan årskurs 4-9 har av läsförståelseundervisning för elever med utvecklingsstörning. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt och metod är fenomenografi vilken vill beskriva människors olika sätt att förstå fenomen i sin omvärld. I denna studie har sju lärare vid olika grundsärskolor intervjuats. Material till undersökningen har samlats in med hjälp av halvstrukturerade intervjuer och har sedan analyserats. Analysen är inspirerad av en fenomenografisk analysmodell i sju steg. I studiens resultat synliggörs tre kategorier av uppfattningar av undervisning i läsförståelse för elever med utvecklingsstörning. Det rör sig om uppfattningar av vilka utmaningar det innebär för läraren, av syftet med undervisningen och av lärarens uppgift och roll. I den övergripande bild som framträder uppfattas elevers egenskaper i hög grad som en utmaning och lärarens uppgift handlar om att lära och stödja elever. Då det gäller syftet med undervisningen så finns även här inslag av att undervisning i läsförståelse är ett verktyg för att elever ska förstå hur undervisning och lärande går till samtidigt som eleven ska utveckla färdigheter. Syftet med undervisningen i läsförståelse handlar även om individens delaktighet och möjlighet att vara aktiv i skola, undervisning och samhälle.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the perceptions some teachers in compulsory school grades 4-9 have about reading comprehension instruction for students with intellectual disability. The theoretical basis and method is phenomenography which describe the different ways of perceiving the phenomenon in the world. In this study seven teachers at different special schools were interviewed. Materials for the study were collected using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed inspired by a phenomenographical analysis model in seven steps. The study's results made visible three categories of perceptions of the teaching of reading comprehension for students with intellectual disability. These perceptions are the challenges it brings to the teacher, the purpose of teaching and the teacher's task and role. In the overall picture that emerges is students' characteristics largely a challenge and task of the teacher is about to teach and support students. Regarding the purpose of education, there are also elements of that the teaching of reading comprehension is a tool for students to understand how teaching and learning works but also for the student to develop skills. The purpose of the teaching of reading comprehension is also about the individual's involvement and the opportunity to be active in school, education and society.

Abstract:

The local school district in the current study was struggling to meet adequate yearly progress (AYP) targets in reading because secondary students were scoring below the basic level in reading and their content area teachers had little or no training in reading deficiencies. What had been speculated, yet never tested, was the utility of teacher training in research-based reading programs and interventions on increasing reading achievement scores. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine issues hampering RTI implementation. This case study focused on analyzing the perceptions of secondary RTI teachers within an urban school district in Texas. The theoretical framework was based on cognitive and social constructivist theory. The research question investigated the best approach to improve teachers' knowledge and implementation of the RTI framework to increase students' reading achievement. Interview data were collected from 3 RTI teachers who had more than 3 years of teaching experience. Data were analyzed through lean coding by using provisional codes to reduce codes to 3 major themes. Reports from the 3 teachers suggested that they all encountered many challenges in implementing RTI; additionally they all conveyed that they needed more support from administrators, access to prescribed resources, and consistent guidelines in program implementation. A white paper was developed to inform the local district on RTI implementation challenges and provide recommendations for improvement. This study impacts social change by providing administrators and educators with information that could improve implementation practices and result in better understanding of RTI.

Abstract:

Studiens syfte är att undersöka lärares uppfattningar om läs- och skrivsvårigheter hos elever på mellanstadiet och hur mellanstadielärare uppger att de arbetar med dessa elever. Det teoretiska ramverk som ligger till grund för studien är kognitiva processer och läsningens fem utvecklingsdimensioner. Sju kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer utförs för att samla in data. Resultatet visar att mellanstadieelevers svårigheter är läsförståelse, fonologisk medvetenhet, avkodning, stavning och grammatik. När lärare upptäcker läs- och skrivsvårigheter tar de direktkontakt med elever, anpassar materialet efter elevers behov, tar kontakt med speciallärare eller specialpedagog och kontaktar vårdnadshavare. Resultatet visar även att mellanstadielärare använder sig av grupp- och pararbeten, en-till-en undervisning, motivationsskapande undervisning, undervisning som är fokuserad på språk- och läsförståelse och digitala verktyg. Elever i läs- och skrivsvårigheter behöver varierad undervisning och olika arbetsmetoder för att utveckla deras läs- och skrivförmågor. Om eleverna tidigt och utifrån sina egna behov får hjälp, stöttning och anpassningar kan det hjälpa dem att komma ur dessa svårigheter.

Abstract:

In 2012, a southeastern state mandated that all school districts employ the response to intervention (RtI) tiered approach model to meet the needs of struggling students. RtI was implemented at the study site; however, secondary teachers were not confident in their abilities to implement RtI. Researchers have found that a teacher's sense of efficacy can impact student academic outcomes. Professional development on implementing RtI was provided for teachers in the study school. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of explicit RtI professional development on the perceived self-efficacy of secondary teachers and their ability to impact student achievement. The study was framed within the constructs of social cognitive theory (SCT) and the associated concept of teacher efficacy. Pre and postintervention data were collected from 51 core subject area teachers using the Teacher Efficacy Scale Survey (short form). An analysis of the data was conducted using paired sample t tests to measure mean differences in efficacy scores. Results of the data analysis demonstrated significant gains in overall efficacy sum scores, personal teaching efficacy scores, and general teaching efficacy scores among the sample of teachers in this study. The results suggested a positive shift in teacher efficacy following the professional development. Recommendations included additional research with larger samples of teachers and the inclusion of a control group. Implications for positive social change include providing research findings to the local administration on the change in teacher efficacy following the RtI professional development. Recommendations are also provided for continued research on RtI, teacher efficacy, and student achievement.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo empreender algumas reflexões concernentes às práticas de leitura de textos literários no ensino fundamental, no âmbito de um programa de enriquecimento curricular da SEE -SP, a HORA DA LEITURA. Visamos compreender o por que o professor de Língua Portuguesa sente dificuldade em realizar uma prática de leitura de textos literários sob uma perspectiva mais lúdica e prazerosa. A justificativa para esse trabalho repousa na constatação de que as práticas de leitura delineadas em sala de aula têm sido apontadas como co-responsáveis pelos déficits diagnosticados nos exames de avaliações oficiais, como o SAEB e o PISA, e pelo afastamento da criança da literatura. A escola, instituição privilegiada para o desenvolvimento do gosto pela leitura literária, acaba, paradoxalmente, inviabilizando uma formação leitora compatível com as competências que é preciso desenvolver para fruir satisfatoriamente o texto literário, por meio de práticas descontextualizadas, não-estimulantes, que não buscam a fruição textual. Como fundamentação, discutimos a especificidade do texto literário e a importância da literatura na formação integral do homem e no desenvolvimento de um comportamento leitor (Cândido, 1972, 1995; Coelho, 2000; Eco, 2003). Em função disto, destacamos, também, no âmbito escolar, a necessidade de se abordar o texto literário sob uma perspectiva diferenciada, segundo a qual a ludicidade e o prazer se façam presentes (Geraldi, 2006; Semeghini- Siqueira, 1994, 2006), e o papel do professor-mediador na elaboração de práticas significativas de leitura (Lajolo, 1993; Zilberman, 2003). Da mesma forma, ressaltamos a relevância da constituição adequada de espaços de leitura, como a biblioteca escolar, para um trabalho significativo com a leitura. Para tanto, empreendemos estudos baseados em Macedo (2005), Silva (1993) e Soares (2001). Participaram desta pesquisa 34 professores da HORA DA LEITURA que faziam parte de uma mesma Diretoria de Ensino, e aos quais foram aplicados questionários. Entre esses professores, foi escolhida uma professora, em cuja sala realizamos uma pesquisa de cunho etnográfico, observando de forma sistemática como eram realizadas as práticas de leitura de textos literários na sala de aula e na biblioteca escolar. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a dificuldade do professor de Língua Portuguesa, em implementar uma prática diferenciada advém de uma série de fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos à escola, a saber: o educador está habituado a cultivar crenças já arraigadas em nossa sociedade, segundo as quais as crianças não gostam de ler, especialmente os clássicos; limitado por uma formação inicial e contínua deficiente, e, também, por uma vivência insuficiente com a leitura, o professor tem demonstrado, em sua prática pedagógica, as implicações metodológicas das suas concepções, por meio da escolha das obras trabalhadas, do ambiente criado para leitura e da abordagem realizada, que não possibilitam à criança criar uma intimidade maior com os livros e a leitura. Além disso, consideramos que um entrave encontrado no interior das escolas é já endêmico em nosso país: a falta de recursos físicos e humanos, principalmente nos espaços propícios para a leitura, como a biblioteca escolar, dificulta, sobremaneira, um trabalho de cunho lúdico-artístico com o texto literário. Ademais, observamos que o professor enfrenta uma resistência velada dos alunos ao abordar a obra literária, já que os educandos do século XXI, face às grandes transformações sociais, tecnológicas e culturais, têm construído uma nova relação com a leitura e a literatura. Detectamos, ainda, no que se refere à formação continuada dos professores, os complexos caminhos percorridos entre a idealização dos projetos criados pelas políticas públicas e sua efetivação em sala de aula. Em decorrência disto, destacamos a descontinuidade dos cursos de formação continuada e os entraves vivenciados pelos professores em suas escolas, como a falta de espaço e tempo para uma reflexão sobre suas práticas.
The purpose of this research is to undertake some reflections concerning the reading practice of literary texts in the Brazilian Elementary and Middle School (\"Ensino Fundamental\") within the scope of a curriculum enrichment program of the São Paulo State Secretary of Education (SEE-SP), called \"HORA DA LEITURA\" (TIME FOR READING). Our aim is to understand why the Portuguese Language teacher feels it very difficult to conduct a reading practice of literary texts under a more ludic and pleasant perspective. The justification for this work lies on the discovery that the reading practices performed in classroom have been appointed as co-responsible for deficiencies diagnosed in official assessment tests, such as the National System for Assessment of Basic Education (SAEB) and the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), and for the child\'s retreat from literature. The school, a privileged institution for developing the taste for literary reading, eventually and paradoxically makes it unviable to acquire reading education compatible with the competencies it is necessary to develop in order to enjoy the literary text satisfactorily, by using out-of-context and non-exciting practices that do not look for the text fruition. To establish our grounds, we discuss the specificity of the literary text and the importance of literature in the complete education of man and in the development of a reading behavior (Cândido, 1972, 1995; Coelho, 2000; Eco, 2003). In connection therewith, we also point out, within the scope of school, the need of addressing the literary text under a differentiated perspective, in which playfulness and pleasure are present (Geraldi, 2006; Semeghini-Siqueira, 1994, 2006), and the teacher-mediator\'s role in preparing significant reading practices (Lajolo, 1993; Zilberman, 2003). In the same way, we point out the relevance of properly organizing reading spaces, such as the school library, for a significant work with reading . For such purpose, we have undertaken studies based on Macedo (2005), Silva (1993) and Soares (2001). This research had the participation of 34 teachers of the TIME FOR READING program who were part of the same Teaching Board, and to whom questionnaires were administered. Among these teachers, a woman teacher was chosen in whose classroom we performed a research of ethnographic nature, observing on systematic basis how the reading practices of literary texts were conducted in classroom and in the school library. The results achieved indicate that the difficulty of the Portuguese Language teacher to implement a differentiated practice results from a series of factors intrinsic and extrinsic to school, to wit: the educator is used to cultivating beliefs already deeply rooted in our society, according to which children do not like reading, particularly the classics and, limited by a deficient initial and continuous education and also by insufficient reading experience, this educator has been showing, in his pedagogical practice, the methodological implications of such concepts, through the works selected for study, the environment created for reading and the approach made, which do not enable the child to create a greater intimacy with the books and the reading. In addition, we consider that an obstacle found inside the schools and already endemic in our country, which is the lack of physical and human resources, primarily in spaces adequate for reading, such as the school library, makes it overly difficult to perform a work of ludic-artistic nature with the literary text. Additionally, we have noticed that the teacher faces a veiled resistance from children when addressing literary work, since students of the 21st Century, in view of the great social, technological and cultural transformations, have been building a new relationship with reading and literature. We have further detected, as regards the teachers\' continuing education, the complex paths taken between the idealization of projects created by public policies and the consummation thereof in classroom. As a result, we highlight the discontinuity of continuous education courses and the obstacles experienced by teachers in their schools, such as the lack of room and time for a reflection on their practices.

Abstract:

In Grades 3 to 5 at a suburban southeastern elementary school, the percentage of students with disabilities (SWDs) who do not meet state standards in science and social studies is greater than that of their nondisabled peers. To address this disparity, district administrators required that proficiency ratings increase for SWDs without providing general education (GE) teachers with training. A qualitative bounded case study was used to understand how GE teachers constructed their knowledge of and met SWDs instructional needs and to understand GE teachers' needs as they worked toward meeting the district goals. Piaget's constructivist learning theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. A purposeful sample of 6 GE teachers, 2 each from Grades 3-5 whose classrooms included SWDs, volunteered to participate in open-ended interviews. Qualitative data were analyzed using provisional coding and pattern coding. A primary finding was that the participants identified teacher collaboration and professional development necessary to accommodate SWDs in the GE setting. This finding led to a recommendation that school leaders provide ongoing professional development for GE teachers as well as ongoing opportunities for collaboration between GE and special education teachers. These endeavors may contribute to positive social change by providing GE teachers instructional strategies and accommodations for meeting the learning needs of SWDs to increase the number and percentage of SWDs who meet the state standards and district goals in science and social studies.

Abstract:

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-step approach to providing interventions to students within general and special education. This study investigated the relationship between elementary, middle, and high school teachers’ perceptions of RTI and (a) whether they taught general versus special education, (b) grade level taught, (c) knowledge level of RTI, and (d) presence in a school implementing RTI and participation in the process. Understanding teachers’ perceptions is of particular importance to school psychologists and can be used to ensure that teachers participate fully in the RTI process. Participants were given a questionnaire to complete that assessed their perceptions and knowledge of RTI. The findings revealed that differences in perceptions existed among teachers based on education level, grade level taught, RTI training received, knowledge level, and presence in a school implementing RTI. It was also found that those teachers with a low level of knowledge had more positive perceptions in regards to the benefit that RTI can have for teachers and students.

This dissertation was written in the compendium of scientific texts and introduces three studies that support the planning, implementation and evaluation of interventions to ensure academic learning of reading and writing basic skills for learners with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), from the involvement of three different educational agents (regular classroom teachers, special education teachers and parents). First, we proposed a systematic review of national literature about the role of educational agents (Study 1). From the lack of studies that aimed teaching reading and writing basic skills by educational agents, we were proposed a discussion on the role of formal and informal agents, in order to identify the behavior of the agents as applicators reading and writing tasks to students with ID and ASD. Following were scheduled four interventions applied by each of the educational agents with each student (Study 2) then proposed a joint training with all agents and evaluated the reading performances and writing of students when exposed the interventions implemented by them together (Study 3). The suggestions are proposed for conducting future studies and it is expected that the results may assist in the elaboration of teaching reading and writing interventions for learners with ID and ASD from the joint participation of the three educational agents: regular classroom teachers, special education teachers and parents.
Esta tese foi escrita no formato de compêndio de textos científicos e contou com três Estudos que fundamentaram o planejamento, a implementação e a avaliação de intervenções visando a aprendizagem acadêmica de habilidades básicas de leitura e escrita para aprendizes com deficiência intelectual (DI) e transtorno do espectro autista (TEA), a partir do envolvimento de três diferentes a entes educacionais (professor da sala de aula, professor da educação especial e pais). Primeiramente, foi proposta uma revisão sistemática da literatura nacional sobre a atuação dos agentes educacionais (Estudo 1) . A partir da verificação da carência de estudos que visassem o ensino de habilidades básicas de leitura e escrita pelos agentes educacionais, foi proposta uma discussão sobre o papel dos agentes formais e informais, com a finalidade de identificar os comportamentos dos agentes enquanto aplicadores de tarefas de leitura e escrita com estudantes com DI e TEA . Na sequência, foram programadas e avaliadas quatro intervenções, aplicadas por cada um dos agentes educacionais com cada estudante (Estudo 2). Por fim, foi proposta uma capacitação conjunta com todos os agentes envolvidos e foram avaliados os desempenhos de leitura e escrita dos estudantes, quando expostos às intervenções aplicadas por eles em conjunto (Estudo 3 ) . Foram propostas sugestões para a condução de estudos futuros e se espera que os resultados possam auxiliar na elaboração de intervenções de ensino de leitura e escrita para estudantes com DI e TA, a partir da participação conjunta dos três agentes educacionais: pais, professores da sala de aula regular e da educação especial.
