The problem of dyslexia in the world of digital media

Rad prikazuje odnos, (ne)poznavanje i razumijevanje disleksije kao izazova i dara, a ne problema. Uz objašnjenje pojma, opisana su i obilježja disleksije, njezini uzroci, odnos s drugim teškoćama te njezin položaj u nastavnom procesu. Uz obrazovanje, kao iznimno važnom faktoru u prepoznavanju i djelovanju, nezaobilazna tema je i utjecaj digitalnih medija. Istraživanje je provedeno u obliku online upitnika. Sudjelovalo je 167 ispitanika, većinom ženske populacije u dobi od 30 do 40 godina, a njih 40% su stručni suradnici. Rezultati ankete potvrđuju prvu hipotezu o tome da je disleksija dobro poznati pojam. Također, s obzirom na to da danas postoje stručne udruge, dostupni edukativni materijali te projekti i alati za lakše čitanje, ispitanici smatraju da digitalni mediji itekako pomažu djeci i odraslima s disleksijom. Ovu hipotezu potvrđuju i navedeni primjeri u radu. Naglašena je važnost digitalne i informacijske pismenosti, ključnih za prepoznavanje istinitosti sadržaja na mreži. Uz pomoć digitalnih medija i prilagođenog sadržaja, nastava disleksičarima može postati pristupačnijom. Analiza odgovora naglašava potrebu korištenja multimedije u poučavanju i dodatne edukacije nastavnog osoblja u školama.The work shows the relationship, (un)knowledge and understanding of dyslexia as a challenge and a gift, not a problem. Along with the explanation of the term, the features of dyslexia, its causes, relationship with other difficulties and its position in the teaching process are also described. Along with education, as an extremely important factor in recognition and action, the influence of digital media is also an unavoidable topic. The research was formed as an online questionnaire. 167 respondents participated, mostly female population aged 30 to 40, and 40% of them are professional associates. The results of the survey confirm the first hypothesis that dyslexia is a well-known term. Also, given that today there are professional associations, available educational materials, projects and tools for easier reading, the respondents believe that digital media successfully help children and adults with dyslexia. This hypothesis is also confirmed by the examples in this work. The importance of digital and information literacy is emphasized as key to recognizing the truth of online content. With the help of digital media and adapted content, teaching can become more accessible for dyslexics. The analysis of the answers emphasizes the need to use multimedia in teaching and additional education of teachers in schools
