| Abstract |
|
In the module 'Reading instructions',
the teacher compares the reading abilities of the students of the own class
to those of the Swiss students of similar age.
After having localized and explained the differences, the teacher performs training modules with the students and compares the performance again.
|
| 1 The module 'Reading instructions' (Draw) |
|
One station on the way thru the CBT program is a reading test.
The two learners have to pass a test for screening the reading abilities. The teacher works on the same tasks too - for a better understanding of the students' results.
In the software project, the tasks of this module will be different from the test unit 'Draw':
the learners do not draw,
they choose between several elements displayed and drag them to the right place on the screen.
But they do type entries consisting of alphanumeric texts.
|
| 2 Goal of this module |
|
Recognize, understand and explain individual differences in reading abilities:
How do learners read instructions?
Study the reading behaviour of
Explain the different answers of the students.
|
| 3 Requirements for this module |
|
The persons working on this module have to able to
- read and understand the assignments,
|
| 4 Scenario of this module |
| 4.1 Inner circle: the teacher and the program |
| 11 Own experience |
The teacher works on the same tasks of this module
as the students have done (in the program)
or are going to do (in the class).

|
| 12 Comparing responses |
The teacher compares the own solution with the solutions of the two students (in the program).
Analysis 12
- Object 121: own solution and solution of student A
- Object 122: own solution and solution of student B
|
| 13 Locating individual performance |
The teacher locates the sources of the differences in reading abilities
between him or her and this two students.
And gets feedback about the found sources.
Analysis 13
- Object 131: the differences between the own solutions and the solutions of the two students
|
| 14 Psycho- linguistical background |
The teacher gets informations about the background of the different answers.
Analysis 14 (how to deliver the background informations)
|
| 15 Explaining individual responses |
The teacher establishes relations between these background informations and
the real answers of this two students and chooses between several explanations.
Analysis 15
- Object 151: the differences between the two solutions (different drawings)
(Object 151-156 = instructions 1-6)
- Object 157: the differences between the two solutions (different results 1-2-3)
(Object 157-159 = questions 1-3)
|
| 16 Evaluation of explanations |
The teacher gets feedback about the chosen explanations.
Analysis 16
- Object 161: specific explanation
|

of the screened students in Switzerland.
Analysis 21 (how to deliver the screening informations)
|
|
22 Comparing responses
(similar to 12) |
The teacher compares the solutions of this two students with the solutions of all the screened students.
Analysis 22

|
23 Locating individual performance
(similar to 13) |
The teacher locates the sources of the differences in reading abilities
between this two students and all the screened students.
And gets feedback about the found sources. Analysis 23

and the solutions of the screened students
|
|
24 Informations about training modules
(similar to 14) |
The teacher gets informations how to establish individual training modules for this two students -
in order to meet the average reading abilities (in Switzerland).
Analysis 24 (how to deliver the background informations)
|
| 25 Individual training modules |
The teacher sets up reading training modules for this two students.
Analysis 25

|
| 4.3-5 Smaller circle: the own class and the program |
| 31 Getting data about reading performance |
The teacher performs the tasks of this module with students of the own class.
The students can work online (like the teacher before) or offline (printed hardcopy - with later input). The teacher displays the data in convenient forms. Analysis 31 (how performing test tasks)
