Sharyfah Nur Fitriya joined the Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS) in 2012 and currently serves as an Educational Advisor (EA) in the English Language and Literacy (ELL) Division, as well as Vice-Chair of the DAS Research Committee (DRC). In her role, she supports curriculum implementation, mentors Educational Therapists, conducts lesson observations, and contributes to programme quality assurance, professional development, and organisation-wide research initiatives.
She holds a Master’s degree in Special Educational Needs from the University of South Wales, United Kingdom, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). Her doctoral research is grounded in Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory and Social Cognitive Theory, with a focus on motivation, self-efficacy, and literacy outcomes among secondary-level students with dyslexia.
A key focus of Sharyfah’s professional work is research dissemination through conference presentations. She has presented at multiple local and international conferences, including the British Dyslexia Association (2018), the Association for Reading and Writing in Asia (2019), the Singapore Rising Scholars Conference at Singapore Management University (2024), and The 20th Pacific Rim Objective Measurement Symposium (PROMS2025). Through these platforms, she contributes to professional dialogue on dyslexia intervention, educational therapist efficacy, motivation, and evidence-based literacy practice.
