Abstract

Primary school teachers should be able to identify struggling learners who may have dyslexia type learning difficulties, in order to facilitate early intervention. Considering this importance, a nationwide survey was conducted in Sri Lanka with 705 primary school teachers among randomly selected schools in order to investigate teacher readiness to identify learners with dyslexia. Teacher readiness was measured based on three variables (a) teachers' self-reported basic knowledge of dyslexia, (b) their self-reported awareness of local tools and processes used to identify dyslexia and (c) their self-reported attitudes towards engaging in identifying dyslexia. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the participants had minimal readiness to engage in identifying learners with dyslexia. However, most of them showed positive attitudes towards actively engaging in identifying dyslexia.

小学教师在识别阅读障碍儿童方面的准备程度:斯里兰卡的一项全国性调查。
小学教师应该能够识别那些可能有阅读障碍型学习困难的挣扎学习者,以便于早期干预。考虑到这一点的重要性,在斯里兰卡进行了一项全国性的调查,随机选择了705名小学教师,以调查教师是否愿意识别患有阅读障碍的学习者。教师准备是基于三个变量来衡量的(a)教师自我报告的阅读障碍的基本知识,(b)他们自我报告的用于识别阅读障碍的本地工具和过程的意识,(c)他们自我报告的参与识别阅读障碍的态度。数据通过结构化问卷收集。逻辑回归分析显示,参与者很少愿意参与识别有阅读障碍的学习者。然而,他们中的大多数人对积极参与识别阅读障碍表现出积极的态度。
