Academic literature on the topic 'Reading, remedial teaching, bibliography'

This paper aims to present the contributions of Historical-Critical Pedagogy and Cultural Historical Psychology in the process of teaching and learning for children in early childhood education. A work like this is justified by the conception that the Historical-Critical Pedagogy has about the teaching and learning process, that is, that seeks to expand the possibilities of the learner, about the use of what is richest and most important in the sciences and arts. In this case, what we will treat is the literature focusing on the development and appropriation of values. To this end, this work used the bibliography as the basic source of the research, especially the texts in which it deals with the methodology in the classroom, the Cultural Historical psychology and the children's literature anchored to the Historical-Critical Pedagogy. Using as authors: Demerval Saviani, Vygotsky, Gasparin and others, who were of paramount importance for the theoretical foundation of the work. The result achieved with this research was the understanding of the main concepts in relation to the importance of teaching literature and how it can assist in child development, as well as the appropriation of concepts and the learning of infants, based on the principles of Saviani's theory. We understand the importance of a teaching that allows, through knowledge, the emancipation of the student and social transformation. Given that the Dialectical Methodology of Knowledge Construction is the way for this emancipation to occur, from primordial concepts for development, adding Vygosky's vision of such development, which is acquired through relations with the environment and with the social. In addition, we understand that the role of children's literature is essential for the intellectual and critical maturation of the infant. Through readings guided by the mediator, it is possible for the reader to experience the process of catharsis, that is, to have their own findings, internalize the reading content and appropriate it, thus creating a new worldview.

The Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law is a landmark reference work, providing definitive and comprehensive coverage of this dynamic field. The Encyclopedia is organised into 12 volumes around top-level subjects – such as water, energy and climate change – that reflect some of the most pressing issues facing us today. Each volume probes the key elements of law, the essential concepts, and the latest research through concise, structured entries written by international experts. Each entry includes an extensive bibliography as a starting point for further reading. The mix of authoritative commentary and insightful discussion will make this an essential tool for research and teaching, as well as a valuable resource for professionals and policymakers.

Arguing for the importance of e-learning in developing the engineering students' reading comprehension skills in English for achieving proficiency for academic and work purposes in the multicultural 21st century society, this paper shows that a special focus on using e-learning tools such as e-readers and certain recommended websites plays an important role in meeting our teaching objective and in fulfilling the students' educational needs. These e-learning tools motivate and encourage the engineering students to read at least a minimal bibliography in English to enable them to successfully meet the demands for professional communication, argumentation and writing in the English language seminars in a technical university. Using e-readers and the specialized websites, including the online libraries, to read English fiction and non-fiction to advance the engineering students' knowledge of English and to develop their reading comprehension skills for the Cambridge English exams, for academic and career purposes will lead to achieving proficiency in this foreign language. Not only will these e-learning tools help the students to advance their knowledge of English, but they will also enable them to broaden their cultural and knowledge horizon, to be up-to-date with the latest societal, career changes and challenges in our society. That is why this paper will enlarge upon: 1) the importance of using e-learning tools such as e-readers and specialized websites to develop the engineering students' reading comprehenshin skills in English for achieving proficiency in this language for academic and career purposes; 2) the students' perspective on the importance of e-learning tools for developing their reading comprehension skills in English; 3) a methodological approach to developing the engineering students' reading comprehenshion skills in English using e-learning tools. Being fond of using technology for e-learning purposes, the engineering students will be motivated to use e-readers to read more recommended English texts, including fiction, non-fiction and specialized technical literature, in order to develop their reading comprehension skills in English for linguistic, academic and career purposes.

One of the greatest challenges for people with disabilities is the lack of accessibility to information, and communication, in addition, to learning processes, which results in few possibilities for labor and social inclusion. Currently, in this sense, research and projects are carried out to promote strategies that allow greater use of ICTs in the acquisition and exchange of knowledge to reduce inequalities in terms of accessibility, especially for people with disabilities and, in general, for priority care groups. However, sustained processes are required that allow comprehensive accessibility to people with disabilities.According to studies carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that 5% of the world’s population has a hearing impairment (World Health Organization, 2018). This community generally presents learning problems given the low effectiveness in the transmission of messages between listeners and non-listeners, and, regarding information and communication technologies, there are not enough computerized educational materials that facilitate communication and Autonomous Learning.It is important to mention that ICT plays a decisive role in teaching-learning in various educational environments. Undoubtedly, new technologies can supply means for improving teaching and learning processes, and managing educational environments in general, since they facilitate cooperation and collaboration between students. In addition, they contribute to overcoming social inequalities. Because sign language is the first language of the deaf community, and since it is expressed spatially and visually, it is necessary to produce multimedia content for the generation of computerized educational tools to properly transmit these messages. The present work is oriented toward facilitating sign language learning in people with hearing impairment, which contributes to their coexistence and interaction.We cannot fail to mention that the approach to nature is mediated by language. Without sufficient lexical background, any formative action is limited. It is essential to have a sufficient repertoire of terms that help the speaker understand and know her environment. Under regular conditions, vocabulary acquisition may be conditioned by diverse, but drawing events or conditions: access to physical or digital bibliography, limited educational experience, family environment little related to reading, etc. The increase in vocabulary in a speaker facilitates learning. Many reading comprehension problems begin with the impossibility of properly decoding words.The problem of access to vocabulary improvement is exacerbated for the deaf community and people with visual disabilities. The aggravation is because they do not exist in the Ecuadorian environment, dictionaries that offer information from the Ecuadorian lexicon not defined in general dictionaries and that, at the same time, contribute to the interpretation of sign language for the deaf community or that meets the standards of inclusion necessary to facilitate reading in users with visual disabilities.In this context, part of our work will be focused on determining which is the lexicon of Ecuadorian speech that deaf people do not know. We consider as a hypothesis that the lexicon unknown by deaf people mostly comprises terms with abstract or very localized references.In addition, we propose to propose the structure of the design of a technological platform of the dictionary. This web application would present the set of lexical entries defined in Spanish and expanded with an author appointment, accompanied by an image of the referent and a video with sign language interpretation of both the definition and the appointment. Each dictionary entry will offer automatic reading on the screen for the accessibility of no seers. The dictionary macrostructure will be composed of basic words and expressions of sign language to promote educational interest and facilitate and energize learning.The work will also be based on a methodology specialized in web applications such as OOHDM (Object Oriented Hypermedia Desing Methodology), on free tools for the manipulation of multimedia audio, video, and images such as Avidemux, Audacy, and Gimp respectively, in the Netbeans 14.0 development tool with JSF 2.0 framework. For integration with the database, PostgreSQL will be used.
