An Disléicse Sa Chomhthéacs Lán-Ghaeilge Agus Gaeltachta: Gnéithe Le Cur San Áireamh Ag Oideoirí
Keywords:
Disléicse, Tumoideachas, Gaeilge, dátheangach, litearthachtAbstract
San alt seo, déantar léirbhreithniú ar an bpríomhthaighde ar an disléicse, agus dírítear ann ar shainmhínithe, a oiriúnaí atá scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge agus Gaeltachta do dhaltaí a bhfuil disléicse orthu, an disléicse a shainaithint i ndaltaí dátheangacha, agus tacaíocht a sholáthar sna suíomhanna oideachais sin. Baintear úsáid as cur chuige léirbhreithnithe insinte sa staidéar, agus cuirtear béim ar chomhthéacsanna dátheangacha. Tugtar le tuiscint le trom na fianaise go bhfuil scoileanna tumoideachais oiriúnach do dhaltaí a bhfuil disléicse orthu, cé go bhfuil gá le staidéir thoraidh sa chomhthéacs lán-Ghaeilge. Cuirtear béim sa léirbhreithniú ar fhorbairt uirlisí measúnaithe atá curtha in oiriúint do shuíomhanna lán-Ghaeilge agus Gaeltachta agus pléitear comhtháthú na fianaise ó fhoinsí measúnaithe éagsúla. Cé go bhfuil léargais luachmhara ar an tacaíocht le haghaidh na litearthachta le fáil sa taighde idirnáisiúnta, tá gá le staidéir bhreise chun measúnú a dhéanamh ar a mhéad a bhaineann na torthaí sin le comhthéacsanna oideachais lán-Ghaeilge.
