Computer-based learning model to improve learning of the malay language amongst dyslexic primary school students

Determining the Difficulties of Students With Dyslexia via Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence: An Exploratory Analysis

“…Currently, some quite promising tests have already been carried out with multiple automatic learning techniques, or machine learning [7], from which the first models have already been trained and prepared for use. Even so, the inclusion of the data from the virtual reality application within the training of the models is still pending [8], [9]. Besides, previous work has indicated the creation of models based on testing diverse tools and strategies [10].…”

Investigating Issues and Needs of Dyslexic Students at University: Proof of Concept of an Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality-Based Supporting Platform and Preliminary Results

“…Network training is performed on the data about the main deficits caused by dyslexia and the results demonstrate that only personalized models can correctly profile dyslexic students and be helpful for them. In the work of [61], a hidden Markov model predicts the difficulties in learning the Malay language in primary school students affected by dyslexia by tracking their mistakes in solving phonology, spelling, reading and writing exercises. The results are not reported but, again, the need for individual support interventions is pointed out.…”

“…This fact highlights the necessity to combine both supporting methodologies in order to be capable of helping dyslexic students during their academic career. Conversely, the vast majority of approaches proposed until now [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] have only taken into account digital tools, neglecting to also create, in parallel, a list of the best practices to be followed to provide support to dyslexic students. The supporting strategies that obtained the highest scores are taking pauses during lessons, hosting lessons online, repeating the studied material and making the program and the slides of the course available, which are considered useful by about 96 to 99% of the participants in the questionnaire.…”

“…The previously listed assumptions, jointly with the information obtained from the literature analysis, have also been taken into account in the design of BESPECIAL that, as mentioned, is in charge of providing dyslexic students with ad hoc strategies and tools to support them during university, so as to try to mitigate the career slowdown and abandonments phenomenon. In order to produce specific material for each student (a fundamental factor to achieve the goal [60,61]), the platform will be implemented starting from the individual issues they experience and according to their precise needs. Given the focus on humanities, the produced material and methodologies will cover the typical problems related to the main tasks of these disciplines.…”

Dyslexic Children: The Need for Parents Awareness

“…Moreover, dyslexic children can suffer from frustrations and low self-esteem because of the lack of achievements, particularly in academics (S. S. A. Hamid, Admodisastro, & Ghani, 2015), and which may affect their long-term life opportunities (Hazawawi & Hisham, 2014a).…”
