What do you perceive as the main barriers to student with dyslexia in higher education?
The semi-structured interview method was chosen for this study since it allows for the flexibility needed for respondents to share their experiences in the form of a narrative. Using the semi-structured interview process will enable to comprehend every respondent’s experience (Michail, 2010). The researcher’s objective will be to allow every respondent to feel comfortable answering the questions and describing their experiences. The information gathered will offer an insight into the apt conceptualisation of dyslexia and its connection to learning for learners with and without the condition. The research is designed to analyse dyslexia experiences and barriers in higher education, with a focus on correcting the shortcomings. Moreover, exploring dyslexia experiences and barriers in higher education might offer insight on how dyslexia can potentially result in inequality in academic treatment and examination. Thus, the questionnaire will focus on analysing the learners’ experiences and identifying the existing barriers, students’ coping strategies, and support that is most helpful to learners suffering from dyslexia.
The interview will be guided by the following questions:
- What is your experience as a learner with dyslexia in higher education
- Is the learning environment supportive of your needs?
- What do you perceive as the main barriers to student with dyslexia in higher education?
- do you think that learning environment is well adjusted for learners with dyslexia?
