Academic literature on the topic 'Hearing-imparied'

In this study, it was aimed to determine the attitudes and opinions of hearing impaired primary school, high school, and university students towards physical education and sports lesson according to various variables.To the study, a total of 136 students (50 females and 86 males) with hearing-impairment, who are participating physical education and sports lesson in provinces of İzmir and Muğla between 2017-2018 education year, voluntarily participated.In the study, 2-part questionnaires were applied to the students. In the first part demographic features, and in the second part “Physical Education and Sports Attitude Scale” consisting of 12 positive and 12 negative items, a total of 24, which was developed by Demirhan and Altay (2001) to measure the attitudes of the students, were used. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as 0.93; and validity coefficient of the scale as 0.83. In the analysis of the data; frequency, and percentage distributions were used and the relationship between physical education and sports attitude scores were analyzed with correlation analysis. The t-test was used to determine the difference according to gender, sporting status, and disability status in the analyses about physical education and sports attitude scores. Besides, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) was used to determine the difference according to educational status, branches of sports, and level of income. The obtained data was recorded by using a programme called SPSS 22.00 in silico.In this study, attitude scale scores of the physical education and sports showed a significant difference according to gender (p<0,05). Males showed a better attitude than females. It does not show a difference according to education status (p>,05). The average scores of the primary school, high school, and university students were close to each other. It showed a difference according to hearing impaired students’ sporting status (p>,05). No significant difference was found according to students’ branches of sports (p>,05). There was no significant difference according to doing individual and team sports.

Abstract The rapid development of knowledge, economy, technology, and civilization, has caused change of production process and technology in the printing industry. Encountering the change of structure, context, and technology, self-study or participating in the educational training program offered by the employee’s company is the way an employee needs to take to increase his or her job capability to deal with the change. This study was to understand the hearing impaired employees’ needs for lifelong learning in the printing industry through interviewing the employers and the hearing impaired employees at their worksites. The major motive of this study was to scheme a suitable lifelong learning strategy for the hearing impaired employees in the printing industry according to their practical needs in their worksites so that their capabilities of work and adjustment to the changing environment can be enhanced. Besides, this study was to provide information for the printing industry to explore and develop special human resource from this population. The purposes of this study were: 1.To explore the niches and the difficulties that the hearing impaired employees are encountering under the contemporary policy and regulation, and the uniqueness and the current development of printing industry. 2.To explore the opinions of the employers toward the job performance of their hearing impaired employees, and their needs for lifelong learning at their worksites. 3.To explore the hearing impaired employees’ needs and attitudes toward worksite lifelong learning. 4.To explore the strategies of worksite lifelong learning for the hearing impaired employees in the printing industry. The methods of this study were literature review, consultation with the experts, phone investigation, and on-the-spot interview. The phone investigation targeted at the chairpersons or managers of the 368 companies of Taiwan Printing Industry Association. Among the results of the phone investigation, 36 hearing impaired employees who worked at 32 different companies or factories were the sample. The analysis of quantitative data was based on frequency distribution and percentage. The phone interview was analyzed through quantitative analysis through SWOT. The results of this study were: 1.Realization of the niches and the difficulties that the hearing impaired employees are encountering under the contemporary policy and regulation, and the uniqueness and the current development of printing industry. 2.Realization of the opinions of the employers toward the job performance of their hearing impaired employees, and their needs for lifelong learning at their worksites. 3.Realization the hearing impaired employees’ needs and attitudes toward worksite lifelong learning. 4.Summing up strategies of worksite lifelong learning for the hearing impaired employees in the printing industry through SWOT based on the results of the above analysis. 5.Making proposals to the relative government departments, the printing industry, the hearing impaired employees, and the researchers. The value and contribution of this study is to promote the professional knowledge and skills of the hearing impaired so that they can continue to grow in their occupational capability and adjust to the rapid change of the social environment which is undergoing the transition of industrial automaticalization.

This is an historical investigation into the provision of education services for deaf children in the State of New South Wales in Australia since 1860. The main focus is those deaf children without additional disabilities who have been placed in mainstream classes, special classes for the deaf and special schools for the deaf. The study places this group at centre stage in order to better understand their educational situation in the late 1990s. The thesis has taken a chronological and thematic approach. The chapters are defined by significant events that impacted on the education of the deaf, such as the establishment of special schools in New South Wales, the rise of the oral movement, and aftermath of the rubella epidemic in Australia during the 1940s. Within each chapter, there is a core of key elements around which the analysis is based. These key elements tend to be based on institutions, players, and specific educational features, such as the mode of instruction or the curriculum. The study found general agreement that language acquisition was a fundamental prerequisite to academic achievement. Yet the available evidence suggests that educational programs for most deaf children in New South Wales have seldom focused on ensuring adequate language acquisition in conjunction with the introduction of academic subjects. As a result, language and literacy competencies of deaf students in general have frequently been acknowledged as being below those of five their hearing counterparts, to the point of presenting a barrier to successful post-secondary study. It is proposed that the reasons for the academic failings of the deaf are inherent in five themes.
