Individualization Through Remedial Teaching Techniques

Using the information acquired during my study in the Lindenwood 4 program , my practicum , and classroom teaching experience , this paper should have a very significant and practical impact in the future for myself and other teachers. This paper is unique because other research has been compiled into one paper that can help classroom teachers learn to pinpoint problems and select or develop appropriate instructional methods for its remediation. Most good teachers have not been able to individualize for all children but they have the desire. The problem of solving individual needs while teaching in the classroom has been too time consuming. This past year has given me the time and provided the resources necessary to really do something of sufficient value . By solving this problem for myself , it enables me to feel justified in serving as a resource for other teachers

Analogical reasoning in children's reading and addition

The purpose of the research was to examine the role of analogical reasoning in children's early reading and addition and to look for possible commonalities in children's performance across these two educational contexts. The research comprised four studies. Study I was a preliminary investigation of individual differences in children's use of analogies in beginning reading. In this study, 55 five-to six year-old beginning readers were presented with the traditional clue word analogy task incorporating either real word or non-word test items. After the presentation of an initial clue word that was decoded for them, children were asked to read a series of related and unrelated target words. Distinct patterns of analogy emerged with regard to the children's ability to use different combinations of orthographic and phonological relations using cluster analysis. The findings illustrated the usefulness of identifying profiles of orthographic and phonological relations for characterising children's development in learning to read. Study 2 was designed to extend the findings from Study 1 by examining whether children's traditional analogical reasoning abilities, short-term memory and their reading related skills could provide some explanations for these patterns of individual differences in reasoning skills in beginning reading. The results of Study 2 supported those of Study 1 revealing distinct patterns in children's use of orthographic and phonological relations. Although single word reading and early phonological knowledge were systematically related to these different patterns of analogy, measures of traditional analogical reasoning skill were unable to account for differences in children's profiles. The purpose of Study 3 was to systematically explore the possibility that analogies are important for children's addition. In this study, 66 five-to-seven year-olds were given an addition-based analogy task designed to assess their ability to solve series of addition problems that were either conceptually related or unrelated to a solved addition problem. Similar to Study 2, children also solved a series of traditional analogical reasoning tasks, designed to assess their ability to solve analogies based on thematic, causal and visual relations. The results indicated that children's use of analogy to solve commuted addition problems was systematically related to their profiles of addition problem solving skills, although no relation was found between children's use of addition analogy and traditional analogical reasoning tasks. In Study 4,69 five-to-six year-olds were given a revised version of the reading and addition analogy tasks presented in Studies 2 and 3 to examine possible similarities in children's analogical reasoning skills across the two domains. Individual self-reports of strategies showed that the children relied on a wide repertoire of strategies for solving related analogy problems in reading and addition. Furthermore, children's patterns of responses to solving analogical problems indicated that most children who reported using analogy strategies in early reading had high levels of analogical reasoning in addition. The findings suggest that there may be a common analogical reasoning component underlying the two domains of reading and mathematics. Overall, the four studies suggest that children's ability to reason about conceptual relations are an important aspect of their development in reading and addition and that the study of analogical reasoning across different educational contexts can provide important insights into children's cognitive development

The attitudes of typically developing young children toward their peers with disabilities : a review of the literature

The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on young children\u27s attitudes toward their peers with disabilities and its impact on the social interactions between typically developing preschoolers and their peers with disabilities. A three-step search and selection process resulted in eleven studies to be reviewed. The findings in these studies are presented around the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of attitude formation. Results indicate that while typically developing young children have a simple understanding of disabilities and state their intention to play with and include peers with disabilities they are significantly less likely to play and be friends with their peers with disabilities. Implications for future research are offered as well as implications for practice within early childhood settings

Differentiated reading instruction through guided reading : a framework for effective reading instruction in the primary grades

Effective reading instruction has been an evolution of many different theories and ideas, and best practices are continually changing and being debated. Differentiated instruction has also been a hot topic in the education world recently, but is not a new concept. What evolves when differentiated instruction is teamed with effective reading instruction? When implemented properly, these two concepts can interweave to create a model for reading instruction that delivers a research-based, effective curriculum which meets the needs of all learners

Relatório de estágio do mestrado em Gestão, apresentado à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra, sob a orientação de Filipe Coelho e Nádia Reis.Na atualidade, e com a modernização empresarial, existe um aumento significativo das exigências éticas, ambientais, legais e comerciais. A Responsabilidade Social torna-se assim importante para que haja uma incorporação de boas práticas nas organizações o que cria oportunidades e previne riscos, tendo um impacto positivo na sociedade e na reputação na marca da empresa. A realização deste relatório permitiu-me constatar que a atividade socialmente responsável é uma das grandes preocupações da Sonae, pois tem em conta os impactos socioeconómicos presentes nas suas ações e projetos. Fazendo parte da Direção de Marketing, mais precisamente da equipa de Responsabilidade Social e Relações Públicas do Continente, foi possível estar dentro do grande projeto solidário que é a Missão Sorriso como também todos os seus projetos subjacentes, assegurando que todas as suas ações devidamente planeadas estivessem a ser bem executadas, tendo em atenção a todos os pormenores em que estão envolvidas. Ao efetuar o meu estágio na Sonae MC, tive a oportunidade de desenvolver e melhorar certas competências, visto que se trata de uma experiência realmente favorável como primeiro contacto com um mundo do trabalho. Assim, foi possível desenvolver a minha capacidade de comunicação e argumentação, criar ligações com clientes e fornecedores, responder ao trabalho sobre pressão, etc. Foram propostas algumas medidas de melhoria da minha parte, no que diz respeito à facilidade de processos internos para que estes sejam de mais fácil resolução e execução
