Abstract Introduction Reading has been widely discussed, mainly due to the published results of international performance tests of schoolchildren. The gaps generated in literacy hinder the development of basic skills necessary for reading, which will have a negative impact on the teaching-learning process from elementary school to high school. This study aimed to compare the reading performance of the students in public and private schools through tests of the Brazilian reading processes-PROLEC-SE-R. Methods Cross-sectional study. The Brazilian adaptation of the PROLEC-SE-R was administered to 436 students: 221 from the state school (G1 6th year, n = 30; G2 7th year, n = 33; G3 8th year, n = 35; G4 9th year, n = 31; G5 1st year, n = 32; G6 2nd year, n = 30; G7 3rd year, n = 30) e 215 private schools (G8 6th year, n = 31; G9 7th year, n = 31; G10 8th year, n = 30; G11 9th year, n = 31; G12 1st year, n = 30; G13 2nd year, n = 31; G14 3rd year, n = 31). Tools of descriptive and bivariate analysis were used. Results Superior performance of the private school students on spelling tests helps their reading as evidenced by their scores for syntactic and semantic processes. When the knowledge of the use of the word in text, extraction of meaning and its understanding was needed, the difficulty of access to the mental lexicon of the studied population became evident. Conclusion The PROLEC-SE-R, in addition to establishing the reading profile of elementary and high school students, shows that the gaps in teaching and learning, which exist between public and private education in the literacy period, accompany students throughout the basic education cycle. Knowing the reading profile and in which process there is a disruption is important so that the teaching of specific strategies can be promoted throughout the entire schooling process, especially in primary and secondary education.
Résumé
This paper explores the teaching methods of medical English terminology from three aspects: vertical and horizontal learning thinking style, DAR(division, analysis and reading) three-step terminology reading process, and diverse comparative vocabulary learning methods. In the teaching, students are guided to establish a framework of terminology learning in a macroscopic level, to interpret medical step by step and to use some of the comparative learning methods in ordinary English vocabulary learning to consolidate the learning and memory of medical terms. Through these three aspects of teaching guidance, students are helped to weave their medical terminology learning framework, to build a terminology learning library, and to turn terminology learning and application into a lasting and effective learning process.
Résumé
Las dificultades lectoras son alteraciones relativamente comunes en las diferentes aulas, por tanto, es importante que se dispongan de diversas herramientas para su correcto abordaje. Objetivo: Implementar un programa intensivo de intervención neuropsicológica en una niña con alteraciones del procesolector. Metodología: Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa-cuantitativa, de caso único y de tipo instrumental, con una evaluación pre y post programa, la que evaluó la lectura de palabras conocidas, pseudopalabras y la velocidad lectora. Para la intervención, se elaboróun programa de intervención neuropsicológico remedial de lectura de 16 sesiones, distribuidas en 4 semanas, y con una duración aproximada de 20 minutos cada una. Resultados: La estudiante mejoró las habilidades consideradas en un comienzo y leyóun 51,1 por ciento más de palabras en un minuto. Conclusiones: Se concluye que es indispensable tanto un proceso de evaluación como de intervención acorde a los precursores de la lectura considerados en la literatura.
Reading difficulties are common complications on diverse educational contexts, therefore, having different therapeutic alternatives acquires relevance. Objetive: To implementan intensive neuropsychological intervention program in a student with reading process difficulties. Method: A mixed cualitative-cuantitative method wasused, a single instrumental case study, with a pre-post program assessment, specifically known read words, pseudo-words and reading speed. For the intervention, a remedial neuropsychological reading treatment program was made, with 16 sessions, distributed in 4 weeks, 20 minutes per session length. Results: The student had an improvement of the previously mentioned abilities compared to the moment before the application of the program and reads up 51,1 percent more words in a minute. Conclusions: Its concluded that a suitable assessment and intervention process is essential, regarding literature mentions.
