Lärares kunskaper om dyslexi
Dyslexia is a functional problem, affecting the ability to read and write. As future teachers, we will meet students with dyslexia. The purpose with this exam study has therefore been to describe dyslexia and its causes. Another purpose was to find out ? from the perspective of a teacher ? what experienced teachers know about the problem and how they in practical work can enhance the learning process for students with dyslexia, both individually and in class. A connected purpose was to study results from research in how to facilitate learning for dyslectic students. (N = 27). The hypothesis was that teacher?s knowledge about dyslexia was too shallow. Our method of data collection was quantitative and qualitative enquiries in two schools in Stockholm County. The result derived from the answers was rather similar in character and confirmed our hypothesis.
