This article is a review of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) help in the assessment and early intervention of reading disabilities (RD) and especially of dyslexia. Phonological awareness is highlighted as a main ability that predicts later reading skills. Here are presented several studies that display computer games, programs and applications by which teachers can intervene to boost phonological awareness and help preventing RD or dyslexia from an early age. Most studies focus in preschool age, although dyslexia in kindergarten is a field that has not been investigated thoroughly, and are certainly a precursor for studies to follow.

This article describes a proposal for the implementation of mental calculation as a strategy for learning mathematical contents in primary education. The mental calculation as an important part in mathematics gives the students an opening to new ways of thinking and gives him the mental agility that helps him to solve problems in a more competitive, quick and easy way. That is why the interest to train the student from an early age to boost the exercise of his mind, proposing strategies that make more efficient teaching-learning process and increase their academic performance in the subject of mathematics. On the other hand, nowadays the profile of the students is valued according to their competences and these must be demonstrated in solving problems of daily life. However, at this moment in history the student is surrounded by information and communication technologies, very effective for the advances that they bring with them, but they generate greater dependence on him, so that now he avoids using more of his reasoning, because most solutions are found by clicking a button.

Introduction. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education provides promising opportunities for individual learning. However, one can question the efficiency of using electronic resources for certain students, e.g. hearing-impaired students, if their special cognitive characteristics were not considered while designing these resources. The aim of the research presented in the publication is to develop a scientific basis and the methodology for the effective teaching of basic disciplines using various sources of information. Methodology and research methods. The presented research results were obtained using standard and adapted methods (‘10 words’ adapted technique, Schulte tables, standardized methods for studying reading skills), questionnaires, analysis of written works based on the developed criteria. A series of experiments involved students majoring in Engineering at Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University: 98 students participated in experiments with the adapted "10 words" method and Schulte tables (19 of them were hearing impaired); for the analysis of writing skills, the works of 116 students were collected (27 of them-with hearing impairment); 12 students with hearing impairment took part in experiments on reading skills. Results. For short-term memory, the results turned out to be better when demonstrating words from the electronic board than from printed sources (students with health standard: electronic board – 7.24 words; printed source – 6.39; for deaf and hard of hearing students: 6.2 and 5.8 words respectively). Based on the results of the attentiveness test (adapted Schulte tables), this indicator is better when working with tables in paper form (Student's t-test: tcr=1.97 (p≤0.05), tcr=2.61(p≤0.01), temp = 2.3). For reading skills, research has shown that students did a better job with keyword and abstracting when working with printed text (tcr=2.07 (p≤0.05), tcr=2.82(p≤0.01), temp= 2.4). As for the monitoring of writing skills, for hearing impaired students, the main monitoring criterion is emotionality (expressiveness); some features of visual perception of the sentences arrangement are also noted. Scientific novelty. The analysis of the results of these experiments will allow us to clarify the features of comparing the cognitive skills dealing with the information perception from different media when teaching people with hearing impairment. Practical significance. The results obtained allowed us to conclude that in the learning process it is recommended to combine sources of information on different media.

The authors' research activities connected information and communication technologies affecting teaching methods in higher education. A total of 201 respondents studying Programming 2 participated in this research. Two hypotheses were created, as well as a pre-test (ensuring that the initial condition of equality among the group members was met) and a post-test (measuring the shift of knowledge among the respondents of the same group). An analysis based on the t-test showed the presence of a statistically significant difference among the male respondents with regard to the test results. H1 hypothesis was accepted. No statistically significant difference was detected among the female respondents, so the H2 hypothesis was rejected. Our results showed that major difference have been found only in male population, which is interesting since female respondents tend to use LMS systems more often and since male respondents are more frequently in computer games activities.
