Research request
Ms Kaya Francica is conducting a research study entitled, Educators’ Perspectives on Dyslexia-Friendly
Toolkits in Maltese Primary Schools: An Exploratory Qualitative Study, under the supervision of Prof. Ruth Falzon
(Faculty for Social Wellbeing, UM). This study aims to explore teachers’ and Learning Support Educators’
perspectives on the use and implementation of dyslexia-friendly toolkits within Maltese primary schools.
Ms Francica is currently looking to recruit approximately 6–8 primary school teachers and Learning Support Educators who have experience supporting learners with dyslexia.
Participation will involve a one-time, individual interview lasting approximately 40–60 minutes, which can be conducted either online or face-to-face at a time and place convenient for the participant. Participation is entirely voluntary, and confidentiality will be maintained throughout the research process.
Educators who wish to assist Ms Francica are requested to contact her by email – kaya.francica.22@um.edu.mt
