Forskning for bedre læringsmuligheter for alle barn.
PROFESSOR · UNIVERSITETET I OSLO

Monica Melby-Lervåg

Jeg forsker på hvordan barn utvikler språk-, lese- og matematikkferdigheter, hvorfor lærevansker oppstår, og hvilke pedagogiske tiltak som hjelper barn å lære.

Foredrag og fagdager

Jeg holder foredrag og bidrar på fagdager for skoler, barnehager, fagmiljøer og andre som arbeider med barns læring og utvikling. Innholdet bygger på forskning og kan tilpasses målgruppe og arrangement.

Foredragstemaer

  • DLD og språkvansker – språkutvikling, utviklingsmessige språkforstyrrelser (DLD), kartlegging og forskningsbaserte tiltak.
  • Lesevansker – leseutvikling, dysleksi, tidlig identifisering og tiltak som kan styrke leseferdigheter.
  • Dyskalkuli og matematikkvansker – utvikling av matematikkferdigheter, forståelse av matematikkvansker og forskningsbasert undervisning og støtte.

Ta gjerne kontakt for å diskutere et foredrag, en fagdag eller et annet faglig arrangement.

Et livslangt engasjement for hvordan barn lærer.

Jeg er professor ved Institutt for spesialpedagogikk, Universitetet i Oslo, og professor ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet. Forskningen min handler om barns språk-, lese- og matematikkutvikling, hvorfor lærevansker oppstår og opptrer sammen, og hvilke tiltak som har effekt.

Jeg arbeider med longitudinelle studier, randomiserte kontrollerte forsøk, systematiske kunnskapsoversikter og metaanalyser. De siste årene har jeg også undersøkt genetiske og familiære faktorers betydning for barns læring. Et viktig mål er å knytte solid forskning tettere til pedagogisk praksis.
