- Um novo olhar sobre o método de leitura João de Deus: apresentação de um suporte interactivo de leituraPublication . Ruivo, Isabel Maria SilvaEste trabalho de investigação pretende abordar a temática da leitura, tentando encontrar os factores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento desta competência e, através do estudo profundo do Método de Leitura João de Deus, desenvolver um projecto interactivo que efectivamente seja fomentador de boas práticas, visando o envolvimento de alunos, pais e professores, condição sem a qual julgamos difícil transpor a barreira da iliteracia. A Cartilha Maternal de João de Deus foi o nosso objecto de estudo e fizemos da leitura das suas lições e das indicações estabelecidas pelo seu autor, uma abordagem linguística que se mostrou, no passado, promotora de uma consciência fonológica essencial para o desenvolvimento da competência da leitura de uma forma racional e lógica fazendo desta aprendizagem um jogo que satisfaz a curiosidade da criança.

- Item reduction of the Voice Handicap Index based on the original version and on European translationsPublication . Nawka, T; Verdonck-de Leeuw, IM; De Bodt, M; Guimarães, Isabel; Holmberg, EB; Rosen, CA; Schindler, A; Woisard, V; Whurr, R; Konerding, UObjective: Constructing an internationally applicable shortscale of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI). Methods: Subjects were 1,052 patients with 5 different types of voice disorder groups from Belgium, France, Sweden, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, and the USA. Different 9- and 12-item subsets were selected from the 30 VHI items using (1) the first factor of an unrotated factor analysis (narrow range subsets) and (2) the first three factors after promax rotation (broad range subsets). Country-specific subsets were selected to test deviations from the international subsets. For all subsets, reliability was investigated using Cronbach’s alphas and correlations with the total VHI. Validity was investigated using regression on voice disorder groups. All analyses were performed for the total and for all country-specific subject samples. Results: Reliability was high for all item subsets. It was lower for the international compared to the countryspecific subsets and for the broad range compared to the narrow range subsets. Validity was best for the broad range subsets. Validity was better for the international than for the country-specific subsets. For all statistics the 12-item subsets were not essentially better than the 9-item subsets. Conclusion: The international broad range 9-item subset forms a scale which approximates well the total VHI.
