Developmental dynamics in the analytic-synthetic method and genetic method for Czech pupils in first and second grades
Abstract
In the Czech Republic there are used two methods in reading education: the analytical-synthetic method (conventional) and the genetic method (created in the 1990s), which are based on different theoretic foundations, unequal is also methodology. Between the years 2008 - 2010 there was a research which took place at the Institute for Educational and Psychological Counselling which was focused on verifying the so-called preventive interventional model of care of pupils with specific learning disabilities.
It also included mapping of the differences in development of reading abilities of children from stated methods. The reading test have been used, respecting the diagnostic principle: in the Czech language the development of understanding is being supported as it is a transparent language.
Each tests have character of short texts. The contribution deals with the developmental dynamics of the cultivation of reading skills in both methods (N=452), compares main differences in the individual parametres of reading abilities (the speed of reading, reading technique, reading comprehension, error rate in reading).
