Download or read book Deaf Students in Postsecondary Education written by Susan B. Foster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992. With an ever-increasing number of deaf students entering higher education throughout the world, major strides need to be made in provision and support for them. This book recognises that the integration of deaf students into mainstream higher education raises complex and challenging problems. It has proved extremely difficult for deaf students to enter fully into the social and extra-curricular fabric of campus life – an essential factor in ensuring student success. The authors provide an assessment of state-of-the-art practice in postsecondary settings and suggest theoretical and practical approaches to providing support. There is discussion of the attainments of deaf graduates with commentaries by deaf persons about their experiences in college. In addition, statistics support the theoretical contentions and clearly demonstrate the benefits of postsecondary education to deaf people.

This book was released on 2013-03-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measuring the Value of a Postsecondary Education is an insightful collection of essays that respond to current and pressing questions in the field of higher education: What do we mean by "quality" of education? What do courses and programs promise to deliver, and do they succeed? What do we know about improving learning outcomes, and is reform possible? Comprised of papers presented at a conference of experts convened by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario in 2011, the book begins by evaluating pioneering initiatives in Europe, and follows this with reports on efforts to measure and evaluate learning outcomes. Drawing on over two decades of work by international agencies, governments, and foundations in identifying and evaluating learning outcomes in higher education, Measuring the Value of a Postsecondary Education encourages educational institutions to draw on this evidence in revising course and program offerings. Bringing together international leaders and innovators in the field, this book is an important analysis of progress in enhancing learning quality and directions for future reform.

Download or read book An Exploratory Study of Characteristics Associated with Postsecondary Educational Attainment in Students who are Deaf Or Hard of Hearing written by Amy Marie Hebert and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well documented that attrition in the postsecondary settings for students who are deaf or hard of hearing is greatly due to their academic and communication skills, as well as pre-entry attributes. However there is little evidence that indicates why students who are deaf or hard of hearing are successful in the postsecondary setting. This study tested a hypothesis that demographic, family, psychological and educational variables have a relationship with postsecondary attainment. The variables included in the study were gender, race, math literacy, reading literacy, high school academic setting (public/residential), communication modality (sign language/oral speech), cochlear implant user, parental academic expectation, parental educational attainment, self-determination, self-concept, self-advocacy, and friendship interaction. This study analyzed a sample of students utilizing existing data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTS2). The findings from this study supported the hypothesis that demographic, family, psychological and educational variables highly influence postsecondary completion. The only exception was no significant relationship was found between cochlear implant use and high school academic placement with postsecondary attainment. Findings from this study will help professionals to bridge the gap from research to practice. Results will directly impact how programs approach career planning and advising. Finally, the knowledge from this study will directly impact career planning and career advising as well as inform program development for retention of deaf or hard of hearing students in persistence to graduation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative methods study draws on Critical Race Theory (Crenshaw, 1991), specifically intersectionality and microaggressions (Sue, 2010), to understand the experiences of Deaf college graduates in terms of the supports and barriers they recalled during their post-secondary education. Much of the research on deaf students in higher education pertains to White deaf students enrolled at colleges that have been organized specifically for deaf students or at mainstream settings that service a large population of deaf students. Little research has focused on the experiences of Deaf students in colleges that serve only a few deaf students. The study participants included 15 Deaf individuals who graduated from one of three types of universities : Gallaudet, mainstream, or mainstream with a deaf program (mainstream/DHH). A semi-structured, open-ended interview was used to elicit Deaf graduates' recollections of their undergraduate college experiences in regards to supports and barriers, as well as the ways in which aspects of their identity, other than deafness, emerged during that time. In hopes of gaining insight into how Deaf college graduates make sense of their post-secondary experiences, and how these experiences vary by identity and institutional factors, this study addressed three questions : 1) What do Deaf college graduates identify as supports or hindrances in their college experiences?; 2) how do these perceptions of supports and barriers vary by the type of post-secondary institutions they attended, whether it was a college for specifically for deaf students, or a mainstream setting?; and 3) What other features of their identity, (e.g., race, class, sexual orientation, and gender) in addition to deafness do they identify as having affected their college experiences? The study yielded three findings. First, there are no institutional or social supports that are not, for some people and in some contexts, also barriers and vise versa. Secondly, each type of post-secondary setting provided supports to the participants but, what are perceived as barriers, varied across the three types of environments. Finally, the structural and cultural features of a Deaf student's university affect which facet of one's identity becomes more salient.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article uses a unique longitudinal dataset based on administrative data from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) linked to Social Security Administration microdata to conduct a case study of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) children who applied for postsecondary education at NTID. The authors estimate the likelihood that SSI children who apply to NTID will eventually graduate relative to other hearing impaired applicants, as well as the influence of graduation from NTID on participation in the SSI program as adults and later success in the labor market. Findings indicate that SSI children are substantially less likely to graduate from NTID than their fellow deaf students who did not participate in the SSI program as children, but that those who do graduate spend less time in the SSI adult program and have higher age/earnings profiles than those who do not graduate.
