Potenziare l’abilità di consapevolezza fonologica: uno studio preliminare sull’efficacia di un percorso educativo attraverso l’utilizzo di tecnologie specifiche

ICT in the development of phonological awareness: A critical literature review

“…The theoretical review that we have carried out allows us to conclude that the use of technological tools, as pedagogical support for the development of phonological awareness, has a positive effect on preschool students; this has been verified through standardized tests in most of the investigations. In all cases, this type of intervention attains a positive assessment for its functionality thanks to the adaptation of the technological tool to the context and the educational purpose that mostly focuses on improving certain skills related to phonological awareness, such as: letter knowledge, letter sound knowledge and phoneme segmentation (Kartal & Terziyan, 2016), emergent writing, name letter knowledge and phonemic sensitivity (Bus & Kegel, 2012), syllabic awareness and phonemic awareness (Fernández et al, 2016), and metaphonological ability (Lucarelli et al, 2016).…”

“…The technological resources used in this type of intervention, focused on preschool children and, in some cases, also on first grade children are of different types, although there is a certain tendency to use free access educational software (such as JClic or Educaplay ), which can be adapted to the context and the requirements of students and teachers (Kartal & Terziyan, 2016;Amorim et al, 2020;Lucarelli et al, 2016;Karemaker et al;Orozco, 2015); or also electronic books (Korat & Blau, 2010;Korat & Segal-Drori, 2010;Shamir & Shalafer, 2011;Willoughby et al, 2015). The authors of one of the studies included in this analysis (Luna et al, 2018) point out that the computer resources most used in this type of didactic intervention, with a socio-constructivist approach, are the computer, the printer, scanner, video beam, online activities, video storytelling, Microsoft (Word, Power Point, Paint); while another study highlights the importance of easily acquiring some useful supplies for this type of practice, such as Amazon Fire tablets, or other low-cost technological devices (Amorim et al, 2020).…”
