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 374 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 2010-07-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates about methods of supporting language development and academic skills of deaf or hard-of-hearing children have waxed and waned for more than 100 years: Will using sign language interfere with learning to use spoken language or does it offer optimal access to communication for deaf children? Does placement in classrooms with mostly hearing children enhance or impede academic and social-emotional development? Will cochlear implants or other assistive listening devices provide deaf children with sufficient input for age-appropriate reading abilities? Are traditional methods of classroom teaching effective for deaf and hard-of-hearing students? Although there is a wealth of evidence with regard to each of these issues, too often, decisions on how to best support deaf and hard-of-hearing children in developing language and academic skills are made based on incorrect or incomplete information. No matter how well-intentioned, decisions grounded in opinions, beliefs, or value judgments are insufficient to guide practice. Instead, we need to take advantage of relevant, emerging research concerning best practices and outcomes in educating deaf and hard-of-hearing learners. In this critical evaluation of what we know and what we do not know about educating deaf and hard-of-hearing students, the authors examine a wide range of educational settings and research methods that have guided deaf education in recent years--or should. The book provides a focus for future educational and research efforts, and aims to promote optimal support for deaf and hard-of-hearing learners of all ages. Co-authored by two of the most respected leaders in the field, this book summarizes and evaluates research findings across multiple disciplines pertaining to the raising and educating of deaf children, providing a comprehensive but concise record of the successes, failures, and unanswered questions in deaf education. A readily accessible and invaluable source for teachers, university students, and other professionals, Evidence-Based Practice in Educating Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students encourages readers to reconsider assumptions and delve more deeply into what we really know about deaf and hard-of-hearing children, their patterns of development, and their lifelong learning.

This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated employment outcomes of adults who were deaf and hard of hearing. The 200 subjects were deaf and hard of hearing adults 18 years and older. They completed a survey consisting of 20 multiple choice questions and three additional questions that required written responses. The results indicated there were significant associations between employment outcomes and participant ratings of reading and English skills and their family's education backgrounds. School settings and communication modes during school were not associated with employment. Also over time, some participants increased their use of ASL and decreased their use of other communication modes.
Download or read book Deaf Education Beyond the Western World written by Harry Knoors and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If teachers want to educate deaf learners effectively, they have to apply evidence-informed methods and didactics with the needs of individual deaf students in mind. Education in general -- and education for deaf learners in particular -- is situated in broader societal contexts, where what works within the Western world may be quite different from what works beyond the Western world. By exploring practice-based and research-based evidence about deaf education in countries that largely have been left out of the international discussion thus far, this volume encourages more researchers in more countries to continue investigating the learning environment of deaf learners, based on the premise of leaving no one behind. Featuring chapters centering on 19 countries, from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe, the volume offers a picture of deaf education from the perspectives of local scholars and teachers who demonstrate best practices and challenges within their respective regional contexts. This volume addresses the notion of learning through the exchange of knowledge; outlines the commonalities and differences between practices and policies in educating deaf and hard-of-hearing learners; and looks ahead to the prospects for the future development of deaf education research in the context of recently adopted international legal frameworks. Stimulating academic exchange regionally and globally among scholars and teachers who are fascinated by and invested in deaf education, this volume strengthens the foundation for further improvement of education for deaf children all around the world.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to examine the support strategies and mechanisms that led to academic and personal success for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Historically, deaf or hard of hearing students have struggled to meet their personal or academic goals within postsecondary educational institutions. For example, individuals who have a hearing loss represent only 4.8% of the California community college campus student population. This study describes how deaf or hard of hearing individuals utilized effective support strategies to assist them with meeting their personal and/or academic life goals. It is important to understand the conceptual framework as it specifically relates to goal attainment for individuals with hearing loss in order to ensure that higher education institutions are providing the support needed to assist these individuals with meeting their personal, professional, and academic goals. This study utilizes the social capital theory as the framework to better understand those influences that led to personal or academic success for deaf or hard of hearing individuals who participated in this research. A grounded theory method of inquiry was conducted to analyze the data for this study. This research approach was selected to investigate learning outcomes for deaf or hard of hearing individuals who obtained gainful employment, completed a workforce training program, or a degree in higher education. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals who are either deaf or hard of hearing who had attained personal or academic success as defined by the study criteria. Specifically, participants were purposefully selected based on being prelingually deaf or hard of hearing. Consideration was given to the following characteristics in an effort to obtain maximum variation in the study: race; ethnicity; gender; age; and communication modalities. Additional criteria for participation in the study included having either a unilateral/bilateral severe to profound hearing loss or a unilateral/bilateral moderate hearing loss, and the use of a primary communication modality which involved American Sign Language or another signed system, or the use of spoken English. Twelve themes emerged as a result of the data analysis, with 10 of these seen as significant factors that led to the participants reaching goal attainment. Based on the findings, recommendations for practices and program development were made for institutions of higher learning, and primary and secondary educational settings, to assist deaf or hard of hearing individuals with the attainment of communication access, and personal and academic success.
