Survey of 524 teachers in a Midwestern state with recent dyslexia legislation, administered the Dyslexia Knowledge Questionnaire-2 with 37 Likert scale items. The article reports "a complicated conceptualization of dyslexia" across concepts, with no effect sizes printed.
"Results indicated a complicated conceptualization of dyslexia. For some concepts, teachers either mostly held scientific conceptions or held misconceptions. For other concepts, teachers were either distributed between scientific conceptions, misconceptions, and/or unsure"
