An apropriatly developed visual perception is an important element of success in reading. Visual dyslexia in children is connected with significant deficits in visual processing skills, and therefore has a strong impact on the reading ability as well as on the process of learning to read. Several studies have shown that regular training of visual skills can improve one’s reading ability and visual processing performance (Vidyasagar in Pammer, 2009)
The purpose of this research project was to develop a systematic ten-week training of visual processing skills and examine the effect of the training on certain aspects of visual processing and reading. The training was carried out with one third-grade and one fourth-grade regular elementary school pupil. Both of them had significant problems in the field of reading ability. Both of them were recognized by their teachers as children with reading disabilities. Before the training, fourteen children were tested with reading test and visual processing test. Two children, chosen to participate in the training, achieved the lowest result on the visual processing test. After the training they were tested again to confirm the effectiveness of the training.
The results of the ten-week training have shown improvement of certain visual processing skills and a significant improvement of reading ability. The biggest improvement of visual processing can be observed in the area of visual ability to distinguish the form from the background, visual analysis and synthesis as well as visual discrimination. A significant progress was observed in the area of visual attention. Reading is more fluent, the letters are better and easier recognized and mistakes, typical for reading disabilities are less common. I established that with a carefully planned and regularly performed training of visual skills we can improve some aspects of visual processing skills and reading ability. The results of my study also indicate the importance of systematic training of visual processing even before or with the process of learning to read. |

Ustrezno razvita vizualna percepcija je pomemben element uspešnega branja. Vizualna disleksija, pri kateri imajo učenci izrazite primanjkljaje na področju vizualnega procesiranja informacij, tako močno vpliva na pridobivanje bralnih spretnosti. Raziskava Vidyasagara in Pammerja (2009) je pokazala, da vizualni trening lahko vpliva na izboljšanje otrokovega branja in sposobnost vizualnega procesiranja vidno posredovanih informacij
Namen raziskave v diplomskem delu je bilo oblikovanje sistematičnega desettedenskega treninga vizualnega procesiranja in raziskovanje vpliva le-tega na vizualno procesiranje in branje. Trening je bil izveden z dvema učencema rednega programa osnovne šole, od katerih je bil eden vključen v tretji razred, drugi pa je bil učenec četrtega razreda. Oba sta imela pred tem izrazite primanjkljaje na področju branja. Prav tako sta bila s strani njunih učiteljic oba prepoznana kot učenca s težavami na področju branja. Pred izvedbo treninga sem štirinajst prepoznanih otrok testirala tako na področju vizualnega procesiranja kot na področju branja. Dva učenca sta bila izbrana za sodelovanje pri desettedenskem treningu na osnovi najnižjih dosežkov na testu vizualnega procesiranja. Po koncu treninga sta bila oba učenca ponovno testirana z namenom ugotavljanja učinkovitosti pripravljenega treninga.
Rezultati po koncu desettedenskega treninga za izboljšanje vizualnega procesiranja so pokazali izboljšanje posameznih spretnosti vizualnega procesiranja in izrazito izboljšanje na področju branja. Viden je izrazitejši napredek na področju vizualnega procesiranja pri razločevanju med likom in podlago, pri vizualni analizi in sintezi ter na področju vizualne diskriminacije. Predvsem pa se je izboljšala splošna sposobnosti vizualne pozornosti. Branje je po končanem treningu veliko bolj tekoče, učenca boljše in lažje prepoznavata črke, zmanjšalo pa se je tudi število tipičnih napak značilnih za vizualno disleksijo in motnje branja. Ugotovila sem, da z ustrezno načrtovanim ter rednim treningom vizualnega procesiranja lahko izboljšamo nekatere vidike vizualnega procesiranja in branja. Rezultati raziskave prav tako nakazujejo na pomembnost urjenja spretnosti vizualnega procesiranja že pred začetkom učenja ali vsaj ob učenju branja. |
