Departamento de consejería estudiantil en la prevención de dislexia en educación inicial II y preparatoria

Abstract

Although some studies have explored the identification of the percentage of students with dyslexia in certain institutions in Ecuador, there is still little research that addresses the analysis of the role assumed by the Department of Student Counseling DECE in the prevention of dyslexia. The prevention of dyslexia is understood from this research, as the execution of certain actions or strategies by the DECE and the teachers of Initial II and High School, in order to reduce the possible reading difficulties that students may present later during the formal process of the teaching-learning of reading It is important then, to know what the role of DECE is in the prevention of dyslexia to guide both their professional work and that of teachers. Therefore, a case study was carried out as a qualitative research method that had the purpose of identifying the role of DECE in the prevention of dyslexia in students of Initial II and High School, of the Guillermo Maldonado Valencia Educational Unit located in the city of Zaruma ,Province of Oro. The qualitative nature of this research allowed, through the interview, observation and review of documents, to collect substantial information to analyze what strategies they use, the obstacles that limit the correct execution of certain strategies. A provisional action route was also carried out to work on the prevention of reading difficulties, which was derived from some of the specific recommendations to improve the prevention processes in dyslexia. In conclusion, the institution must opt for a structured system for the prevention and detection of reading difficulties that, as shown in illustration II of annexes, assertively fits with the DECE lines of action. Therefore, the role of the DECE and prevention in dyslexia are variables that, if well addressed, made explicit and systematized, would combine to work effectively on prevention in dyslexia, thus improving the prognosis of students with difficulties.
