Comparison of the effectiveness of dore method and combined method (direct instruction and phonological awareness) on the symptoms of student dyslexia

Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of dore method and combined method (direct instruction and phonological awareness) on the symptoms of dyslexia. The method of the present study was semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with control group.The population included all students of elementary school of UROMIA (2018-2019) with dyslexia who referred to the learning problems center and 45 students were randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control. For one group, dore method and for the other group, the combined method was performed for 20sessions of 60-minute. Reading and dyslexia tests were used to measure the dependent variable. Data analysis using multivariate analysis of covariance showed that both dore method and combined methods (direct instruction and phonological awareness) were significantly more effective than the control group on the symptoms of dyslexia(p < .05). Also, the results of pair wise comparisons showed that the combined group (direct training, phonological awareness) In most components of reading, it is more effective than the dore group Therefore, paying attention to the effectiveness of phonological and direct awareness education in combination with the symptoms of student dyslexia is of great importance.
