Course Content (Syllabus)
Spelling in the field of educational psychology is considered the result of a complex network of cognitive functions that govern the consolidation and application of knowledge of conventions and rules of writing in the context of a specific linguistic system. These rules concern different fields of language development and processing (phonological, morphological, semantic) and have been formed in relation to the historical development of each language. The aim of the course is the presentation and analysis of the cognitive processes and knowledge involved in the development of spelling ability, the analysis of the stages of its development, the critical approach of the various models for mastering spelling that are proposed both internationally and for the Greek language in particular and suggestions for teaching spelling through modern approaches and teaching practices.
