Adjunct aids in instructional prose
A computer-based science lesson was administered to 144 deaf college students grouped into low, middle, and high reading ability levels. Five instructional conditions were compared: (1) text only, (2) text and content movies, (3) text and sign movies, (4) text and adjunct questions, and (5) all of these together (full condition). The low reading level subjects in the adjunct question and full conditions demonstrated immediate, factual learning pe…
Valid Assessment of Writing and Access to Academic Discourse
One way to improve students' access to and retention in post-secondary degree progams is to assess their readiness for such programs accurately. To place deaf and hard-of-hearing students in preparatory courses and to determine their readiness for degree programs more accurately, a direct measure of writing was developed for deaf and hard-of-hearing students at a large technical university. The purpose of this study was to estimate the concurrent…
Working Memory Capacity and Comprehension Processes in Deaf Readers
This research studied deaf students' performance on memory span and component reading tasks that incorporated processes involved in higher level comprehension. The instruments developed in the study provide the basis for the measurement of functional working memory capacity, vocabulary knowledge, domain-relevant knowledge, and inference abilities. Multiple regression analysis was used to construct models that show the contributions of the indepen…
Classroom Structure and Student Participation
This study investigated instructional outcomes for postsecondary deaf students due to classroom structure, student participation, trait anxiety, and locus of control. Fifty-seven students at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology were administered the aptitude measures and then instructed in four groups. A 1-hour facsimile of a classroom situation varied in terms of low versus high levels of structu…
A Cross‐cultural Examination of Parents' and Teachers' Expectations for Deaf Youth Regarding Careers
S ummary . There has been, to the best of these authors' knowledge, no cross‐culture analyses of the attitudes of parents and teachers regarding appropriateness of occupations for deaf youth. This study was an attempt at such an analysis and compares attitudes at a school for the deaf in Italy and a school for the deaf in England. Attitudes pertaining to advising equally qualified deaf and hearing persons to train for 13 different occupations wer…
Advising Deaf Youth to Train for Various Occupations
S ummary . The influence of significant others upon the deaf child's formulation of his/her concept of deafness is profound. The articulation of the attitudes of such persons toward the types of employment deaf people can perform is, therefore, important. An attitude instrument and research methodology were developed, validated and implemented with parents, teachers, houseparents and teachers' aides at a school for the deaf in England. Attitudes …
