Gottardis, L. "Deaf primary school children's achievement in mathematics." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2014. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:13f90aa3-c27e-46e2-a6b6-3db04de3712f.
Full textAbstract:
The present research aims to evaluate the extent of deaf children’s delay in mathematics, identifying the moderators of this delay and determine the longitudinal predictors of their mathematical achievement. For five decades, studies have reported that deaf children lag behind their hearing peers in mathematics (Gottardis, Nunes and Lunt, 2011). Background factors such as age, degree of hearing loss, presence of cochlear implant and types of educational provision were previously hypothesised to be moderators of the extent of this delay but, up to now, they have not been tested. Pagliaro (2010) argued that number knowledge, working memory and degree of hearing loss could be possible causes of deaf children’s difficulties in mathematics but no clear conclusions were reached. The present investigation aims to provide insight into the causes of deaf children’s delay in mathematics. The survey study addressed the first aim of the present study. The maths test of the Performance Indicators for Primary School (PIPS) was used as outcome measure. Factors related to deaf children (degree of hearing loss, age, years in education, presence of cochlear implant, gender, causes of deafness) and background factors (highest maternal education, language used at home, type of educational provision) were assessed as possible predictors and moderators of the extent of deaf children’s delay in mathematics. The overall extent of deaf children’s delay in mathematics was of -1.76 SDs. The older the children get and the more years they spend in special schools for the deaf or in units for hearing impaired, the wider is their gap in mathematics achievement compared with their hearing peers. It is, therefore, necessary to intervene in their mathematical learning in the early years of schooling in order to create pathways for improvement. The second aim of the present study was addressed through a longitudinal design. Logical-mathematical reasoning, working memory and counting ability were chosen as predictors of deaf children’s mathematical attainment on the basis of theoretical framework, evidence from longitudinal studies and from the analysis of the difficulties that deaf children have in these factors compared with hearing peers. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to assess the independence of the contributions of logical-mathematical reasoning, working memory and counting ability to the prediction of deaf children’s mathematical achievement measured through the PIPS. Age, years in education, type of educational provision and non-verbal intelligence were used as controls. Counting ability and working memory did make independent contributions to the prediction of deaf children’s mathematical success but logical mathematical reasoning was by far the strongest predictor. When the predictors were entered in the model, none of the control variables predicted significantly deaf children’s mathematical achievement. This study makes several empirical contributions. First, it established age, years in education and types of educational provision as moderators of the extent of deaf children’s delay in mathematics. Second, it determined the plausibility of a causal link between logical-mathematical reasoning, counting ability, working memory and deaf children’s mathematical achievement. The implication is that schools must explicitly plan to improve deaf children’s mathematical reasoning, counting ability and working memory when they are in kindergarten and in the first years of school in order to help the children’s mathematical development.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the impact of the residential school for the deaf experience on deaf identity development. The researcher utilized qualitative methodology, constant comparative analysis, and semi-structured interviews with 5 current students and 5 alumni from the Oregon School for the Deaf. The triangulation of participant interviews collectively yielded 67 textural codes and 8 structural categories in response to the four research questions: 1. Were there experiential factors that contributed to current students and alumni making the decision to attend the residential school for the deaf? 2. What, if any, is the impact of the residential school for the deaf on the identities of those who experience it? 3. How do the participants perceive their experience at the residential school for the deaf as preparation for life after graduation? 4. Based on participants' experiences with helping professionals, are there competencies, from their perspective, that helping professionals need in order to best serve individuals who are deaf?
The data in the form of participant responses revealed that the immersive nature of the residential school for the deaf experience led to unfettered communication and comfort through sign language, thus making their educational experience more comfortable; increased personal and social Deaf cultural identification; and perceived readiness for life after graduation. In reference to helping professional competencies, participants reported professionals need to know the language and culture of the individuals who are being served.

Full textAbstract:
This study employs qualitative methods to explore the tensions experienced by deaf young people with hearing parents, hearing parents with little or no experience of deafness prior to the birth of their deaf children and language teachers with a lack of skills and knowledge of deafness in the implementation of an inclusive education system in Brunei Darussalam. The empirical evidence I used to develop and support my thesis involves data I have generated using a variety of data collection tools, and includes analysis of documents, interviews with 12 deaf people age 18-25 years old, 4 hearing parents and 4 teachers together with 8 hours of classroom observations. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify prevalent similarities in the participant’s responses. Underachievement among young deaf people was due to undeveloped language. Undeveloped language for communication is the major theme identified. This study argues that while certain barriers to participation in hearing inclusive classrooms and hearing environments may be being removed, perceptions of the deaf as being unable to communicate remain embedded in dominant disability discourse (Lang, 2001). The study’s conclusions are drawn within the context of proposing a framework for a holistic, integrated, community based educational support structure for Brunei Darussalam that meets the support requirements of deaf young people (DYP), parents and teachers within inclusive schools.

Full textAbstract:
During the past few years, Deaf culture has emerged as an important philosophy that could lead to a radical restructuring of Deaf education methods. The purpose of this study was to determine attitudes concerning Deaf culture from teachers of residential based schools for the Deaf who are Deaf and Hearing.Prior to initiating direct contact with the teachers, the superintendents or principals of the selected residential schools were contacted via mail, and their permission secured. In the United States, 279 teachers (69 teachers who are Deaf, 210 teachers who are Hearing) from seven midwest residential based schools for the Deaf and in South Korea 310 teachers (26 teachers who are Deaf, 284 teachers who are Hearing) from all eleven residential based schools for the Deaf participated.Two-factor ANOVA procedures with repeated measures on one factor were utilized to analyze the teachers' attitudes toward Deaf culture in America and South Korea from a 30-question survey using a five-point Likert scale.This study concluded that: (a) Deaf culture was a subculture in mainstream society whether it was a multi- or singular cultural society--although attitudes toward Deaf culture were accepted more negatively in a singular society than those in a multi-cultural society; (b) Deaf culture was accepted by teachers of schools for the Deaf who are Deaf more readily than those who are Hearing in both multi- or singular cultural societies; and (c) there was no significant correlation between attitudes of teachers who were employed at different levels of instruction, such as elementary and middle or secondary school.Department of Special Education

Full textAbstract:
D/deaf people typically are not employed, or work in menial jobs, although they have been through high1 school in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The researcher has not observed them in professional careers. However, there is no empirical evidence why the D/deaf are excluded from the formal labour market after schooling. Understanding the underlying factors influencing such observations was important. The problem manifested in unemployment in the formal labour sector, but the researcher wanted to understand the root cause of this problem in depth. The aim of the study is to explore and critically analyse the D/deaf high school learners' construction of their careers and the supports available to them in constructing and realising their career aspirations. The international literature reviewed identifies knowledge gaps concerning career construction and supportive imperatives of D/deaf high school learners. The theory of career construction by Savickas (2005) frames this study and has been used throughout to guide and inform the study. This is a descriptive qualitative case study of career construction and support (Creswell, 2013). It was conducted in two of the five schools for the Deaf in two districts of the Eastern Cape. The learners came from rural, semi-rural and semi-urban homes. The schools (rural and semirural) were purposefully selected to participate in the study. The study population includes four participant groups; the deaf learners in high school (grade 10 -12), their parents, the teachers involved in the career guidance of the learners and members of the Department of Basic Education who were responsible for career guidance in deaf high schools. The data was collected using multiple methods: focus group discussions, individual interviews and document reviews. The findings indicate that careers are constructed under adverse conditions. These lead to learners' perceptions of limited support. The challenges with learning the school curriculum was a barrier to acquiring basic skills required for their careers. The challenges include an inability to use of South African Sign Language, a critical barrier affecting communication across participants (learners, teachers, Department of Education officials and parents). This impacted on teaching, learning, support, guidance and general communication. The contextual challenges and limited support structures negatively influence the way D/deaf high school learners in the Eastern Cape Province construct their future careers, their parents, the education system and the role played by organisations of Deaf people. The study shows that careers are constructed in a context of both positive and negative influences. The combination of both the negative influences and limited supports impacts more heavily on career construction than do the positive influences. D/deaf people in the Eastern Cape have limited opportunities to obtain employment in professional occupations because of the way the education system and society prepares them for such careers. The issues of colonialism and the previous apartheid regime still influence both the education system and the South African society.

Bower, Sarah. "Deaf pupils' experiences of inclusion within a mainstream primary school : a case-study." Thesis, Open University, 2006. http://oro.open.ac.uk/49073/.
Full textAbstract:
The aims of the study are: To research, and document, deaf pupils' experiences of inclusion, their perceptions of the way teachers view deafness, and to observe the effect of using sign language to educate the children within a mainstream setting. This study has as its focus 5 deaf pupils who are part of a Hearing Impaired Unit of 20 deaf children within the Greenview mainstream primary school for 700 pupils. I focus on three research themes: I Inclusion. Firstly: how do deaf pupils describe/feel about their learning experience in an inclusive classroom? Secondly: are deaf pupils a unique group in tenns of their needs? II Pedagogy. Firstly: what educational strategies are in place to make inclusion of deaf pupils work? Secondly: how do teachers' perceptions of deafness affect their pedagogy? III Communication. How does the presence of a facilitator, and their participation in the classroom, influence the situation? The philosophy influencing this study stems from a socio-constructivist perspective, and the three themes of inclusion, pedagogy and communication are revisited in each chapter. This study follows an ethnographic case study methodology, using an adaptation of Stake's (1995) 7 step methodology to address pupil issues, and Wood et aI's (1986) Moves Matrix codes to analyse pupl/teacher dialogue. Within its framework, the study uses observation and interview techniques to gain insights, from the child's perspective, as to how one school's 'inclusive' policy is experienced in practice. The study reveals surprising observations, finding that, for example: Within the theme of inclusion: Deaf pupils felt they could flourish within a mainstream classroom provided their unique identity and language needs were recognised and valued. They felt comfortable with "deaf aware" mainstream teachers who improved acoustic conditions within the classroom, managed audio equipment to amplify speech and kept background noise low. Within the theme of pedagogy: Experienced "deaf aware" teachers actively planned lessons with specialist staff to use a range of strategies suitable for deaf children's' learning. These experienced teachers adapted their communication strategies to use a more flexible approach to talking and listening. Within the theme of communication: BSL provides good language learning opportunities for the deaf pupils, but this is not always matched by the attitudes of mainstream staff. The mode of communication does not influence pupils as much as the strategy the teacher uses to introduce lessons. Deaf adults are necessary in the classroom to provide deaf children with mature BSL language experience and adult role models. A summary emerges of the experiences of deaf pupils at Greenview, and the aspects of inclusion that they find most helpful to learning. Such a multi-faceted glimpse into the children's educational experience will be of interest to teachers, parents and all those involved in the disability/inclusion debate.

The purpose of this qualitative action research study was to explore the benefits and challenges of e-mentoring an adult learner in a rural state school for the deaf that taught children with hearing loss to listen and speak. This school lacked the benefit of a spoken language programs for deaf children. This study focused on e-mentoring the Lead Teacher/SLP, in order to enhance her understanding of language development in children with hearing loss and improve her ability to use diagnostic teaching, in order to implement strategies that would allow the children in this specialized classroom to continue to develop spoken language. Through use of synchronous and asynchronous e-mentoring, I assisted the mentee as she developed a plan specifically focused on providing her with the skills needed to lead/direct the program independently, in order for it to continue successfully. The mentee and supervisory/administrative staff were participants of this study. The mentee participated in the e-mentoring process twice each month, for 30-45 minutes per session, for one academic school year.
The mentee typically guided the topic of the e-mentoring session by asking for assistance in a particular instructional area. On alternate weeks, I was in contact with the mentee via email, text, and/or phone. After e-mentoring, I completed a journal entry with my thoughts about the session and the mentee responded to questions about the e-mentoring experience. At the conclusion of the academic year, I conducted a focus group with the supervisors and administrators of the spoken language program asking for input about this new program. Secondary data were collected from vocabulary and concept tests on the children attending the program using. Results from the journaling and responses to questions and focus group were coded and analyzed for emerging themes. One major themes was Change, with subthemes of opportunities, e-mentoring the spoken language program, progress of the children, perceptions of the program, increase in enrollment, and scheduling. Other major themes included Andragogy and e-mentoring, Teaching Strategies, and Technology. The results of this study may be important to administrative personnel in state schools for the deaf, interested in initiating a spoken language classroom.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to ascertain the potential influence of television closed-captioning on literacy among deaf and hard-of-hearing children. Television watching has become increasingly popular among deaf and hard-of-hearing children (Hobbs, 2005), and past studies show exciting potential for the use of closed-captioning as a literacy tool (Koskinen, Wilson & Jensema, 1985; Jensema, McCann & Ramsey, 1996). The study took place over 5 weeks and was conducted with 13 middle school students at a school for the deaf. As part of the study, the 13 students were shown 10 different 30-minute captioned video segments of different genres and interests. Prior to and after each showing, the students took pre-and-post tests containing five vocabulary words that appeared in the video shown. (Each post-test contained the same five words appearing in its corresponding pre-test.) In addition, after each showing, the students engaged in classroom discussions on the recently-viewed video program, which were observed and analyzed. The findings--and, in particular, the pre-and post-test scores--showed marked improvement in vocabulary scores after each captioned program viewing. The findings also potentially indicate that closed-captioning can expose deaf and hard-of-hearing children to new and unfamiliar words to which they otherwise would not be exposed. In addition, the post-viewing discussions indicated that, throughout the study, the students employed the tri-level literacy framework, using functional, cultural, and critical literacy. And, by discussing in American Sign Language (ASL) the recently-viewed captions, the students employed linguistic interdependence, or the use of dominant and secondary languages to reinforce development in both. Closed captioning also proved to be a useful source of "triggering" words, which generated experience and funds-of-knowledge recollection among the students. As a part of media literacy, closed-captioning is a motivating tool that teachers can use to activate prior knowledge among deaf students. In sum, this study shows that closed-captioning can positively impact literacy levels among deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Accordingly, closed-captioning can play a useful role in developing literacy, and parents and educators of deaf children should devise ways to incorporate closed-captioning as part of the deaf child's literacy environment.

School PsychologyPh.D.
One of the most controversial issues in the field of education is the determination of the educational placement of deaf K-12 students. Although school psychologists are involved in the determination process, little is known about their specific role in decision-making. School psychologists (n=357) with varying degrees of specialization in this area were surveyed with regard to their experience and perceptions. Results indicated that student audiological status predicts the types of assessment data that school psychologists collect and report in order to inform educational placement decisions. Participants who responded to the survey on the basis of their experience making placement decisions for deaf students (n=54) perceived themselves as less influential over the decisions than participants who responded on the basis of their experience making placement decisions for hearing students (n=303). Additionally, there was a relationship between school psychologists' specialization in the area of deafness and the interpretation of the phrase, the "least restrictive environment." Possible explanations and the associated implications of these findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The visibility achieved by deaf school, from the renitence of discourses that take deafness as a linguistic, cultural difference, has generated a scenario of permanent convergence between deaf school and community. This occurs due to the fact that the deaf community has found in the school space a trench that enables community articulations. Then, there are new possibilities of investigating practices delimitated by the symbolic space emerging from the intersection between school and community. This research attempts to understand the production of the pedagogical deaf subject in the convergence between the community and school spaces. In order to do that, the context of three cities in Rio Grande do Sul has been investigated: Caxias do Sul, Porto Alegre and Santa Maria, through discussions with
deaf students and teachers participating in the deaf school and also acting as community leaders. Post-structuralist studies have provided the theoretical support
for the analysis. The development of this study has allowed for a general perspective of the deaf community s moves from their cultural capital and the way it catalyzes
possibilities of resistance. The deaf school, taken with great positivity, has been constituted as a privileged space of constitution of specific ways of being deaf. The
community has been inserted into the school aiming at recursively investing in the formation of a political profile of the deaf who are subject to pedagogization in that school, with the purpose of guaranteeing the maintenance of the very community.A visibilidade adquirida pela escola de surdos, com a renitência de discursos que tomam a surdez como diferença linguística e cultural, gera um cenário de permanente convergência entre comunidade e escola de surdos. Isso ocorre em razão de a comunidade surda ter encontrado no espaço da escola uma trincheira que possibilita as articulações comunitárias. Daí, abrem-se possibilidades de investigar práticas delimitadas pelo espaço simbólico emergente, considerando-se a intersecção entre escola e comunidade. Esta pesquisa busca entender como se dá a produção do sujeito pedagógico surdo na convergência entre os espaços comunitário e escolar. Para isso, investigou-se o contexto de três cidades do Rio Grande do Sul Caxias do Sul, Porto Alegre e Santa Maria , através de discussões com alunos e professores surdos partícipes da escola e também líderes da comunidade. Para realizar o empreendimento de análise da materialidade obtida, buscou-se sustentação teórica nos estudos de vertente pós-estruturalista. O desenvolvimento deste estudo possibilitou traçar um panorama no qual a comunidade surda se articula a partir do seu capital cultural e catalisa possibilidades de resistência. Já a escola de surdos, tomada com grande positividade, constitui-se como um espaço privilegiado de constituição de modos específicos de ser surdo. A partir disso, tem-se que a comunidade se insere na escola de surdos com o propósito de investir recursivamente na formação de um perfil político no surdo pedagogizado nessa escola, com vistas a assegurar a manutenção da própria comunidade.

Promoting student self-determination has been identified as best practice in special education as an effective way to promote goal attainment and successful post school outcomes for students with disabilities. There have been, however, limited evaluations of the effects of interventions to promote self-determination with students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. This study reports finding from a quasi-experimental switching replication study examining the impact of intervention using the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction on student self-determination and goal attainment for students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Findings within this study using the current research design and limited sample do not support the efficacy of the model for differential goal attainment and goal attainment facilitation by Group assignment but students who are classified as DHH were able to set goals and attain these at a better than expected level of progress. Measures of self-determination used in this study proved to have good internal reliability with students who have various levels of hearing loss and who use various modes of communication.

The focus of this master’s report was to examine the sensory garden experience - a comforting space that emphasizes the broad stimulation of all 5 of the user’s senses. Tucson’s beautiful Arizona School for the Deaf & Blind (ASDB) provides an education and sense of place for its students and community; moreover it serves as a cultural resource and center for Deaf culture and developing young minds. However the problem is that the campus truly lacks an outdoor space that unifies the campus as a whole and provides an enhanced sensory experience for its student body and populace. The intent of this master’s report was to develop a set of comprehensive guidelines and principles that designers will be able to use in the future to enhance the sensory experience for deaf and blind users. These guidelines have been applied towards the design of a master plan for the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind located in Tucson, Arizona. The sensory garden serves as a means of providing students, faculty and guests with an opportunity to interact with the environment, engage in passive recreation, spaces for opportunistic meetings, the promotion of cultural awareness, and last it provides all of its users with a heightened sensory experience. This report has investigated: the various components of a sensory garden, the concept behind sensory designs, and how our senses interact in relation to spaces. The report also examined potential design standards used in DeafSpace and blind spaces, and last it examined sensory mapping and how its methods are involved in the design process.

The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction in sign language in a classroom in the special school for deaf and hard of hearing pupils. Three questions are of particular interest: What characterizes interaction in educational situations where the whole class is present compared to half the class and when the pupils in small groups are solving problems given by the teacher? How are a hearing and a deaf teacher interacting in the classroom? And How are boys and girls interacting in different educational situations? Theoretically the study is based on an educational interaction model. Of particular interest in this model are restrictive and permissive aspects of teaching and factors stimulating pupil participation. Symbolic interactionism has been used in the interpretation of face-to-face interaction in sign language. Video recordings of classroom interaction in natural sciences were documented in a class in the special school comprising 17 pupils and three teachers. A total of seven lessons were recorded consisting of whole class teaching, half class teaching and problem solving in small groups. Of the pupils ten were girls and seven were boys and of the teachers one was hearing and one was deaf. The third teacher was only temporarily in the class and was not included in the analysis. The recorded material was transcribed and analyzed in six steps. The results show that the teachers are most restrictive in whole class teaching while there is more participation from the pupils in half class teaching. In the small group problem solving the teachers seem to be more interested in the group process than in getting an answer to the problem. This gives a lot of room for individual actions and interaction of a relational kind rather than educational. There tend to be some visible differences between the hearing and the deaf teacher. The former uses a more individual approach towards the pupils, I-Gaze, which leaves room for the pupils to be engaged in other activities. The deaf teacher on the other hand keeps all the pupils engaged by using a group approach, G-Gaze. Other differences are the use of literacy tools where the deaf teacher situates the material and keeps the attention of the pupils by telling a narrative. Concerning differences between boys and girls it is evident that the boys are more dominant in whole class and half class interactions while the girls tend to take over the teacher role in small group interaction. These results are discussed in relation to theoretical background and research on classroom interaction in the compulsory school and in schools for deaf pupils.

Na articulação aos Estudos Culturais em Educação, aos Estudos Surdos e à Linguística, busca-se, nesta tese, responder à seguinte problemática de pesquisa: como o ensino de língua portuguesa a surdos vem sendo produzido em contextos de educação escolar bilíngue no Rio Grande do Sul? Para isso, objetiva-se: a) descrever e problematizar a educação bilíngue em escolas de surdos do Rio Grande do Sul; b) investigar e analisar práticas discursivas de ensino de língua portuguesa a surdos em contextos de educação escolar bilíngue. Ao operar com ferramentas teórico-metodológicas da análise de discurso foucaultiano, os dados desta investigação foram produzidos em etapas: 1) visitas de apresentação a oito (8) escolas participantes da pesquisa, incluindo conversas com integrantes de equipes diretivas e professoras (com encaminhamento de procedimentos éticos); 2) pesquisa em documentos escolares: Regimento Escolar, Proposta Político-Pedagógica e Planos de Estudos do componente curricular de Língua Portuguesa; 3) entrevistas presenciais com doze (12) professoras de Língua Portuguesa a surdos; 4) rodas de conversa com as professoras participantes da pesquisa. Em uma análise de artefatos culturais, sinaliza-se que, diante dos fracassos dos estudantes surdos em escolas especiais ou comuns e da consequente resistência a ineficazes modos oralistas e bimodais de ensino, luta-se por outro modo de condução: uma educação bilíngue, que está sendo construída em escolas de surdos. Na composição do corpus desta pesquisa, a investigação empreendida possibilita concluir que uma educação escolar bilíngue de surdos é tecida principalmente em práticas discursivas acadêmicas, políticas e escolares, sendo o ‘discurso da educação bilíngue’ produzido por enunciados de diferentes campos discursivos, que lhe conferem status de verdade. Em defesa da potencialidade de uma educação escolar bilíngue de surdos, centralizada no ensino e no acesso ao mundo em Libras, no contato com artefatos da cultura surda e no encontro com diferentes surdos, a investigação de contextos escolares também aponta impasses e desafios, principalmente linguístico-culturais (uso e status das línguas em contato), socioeconômicos (participação familiar e investimentos na escola) e político-pedagógicos (atravessamentos das mantenedoras, concepções que permeiam a educação de surdos, formação docente e propostas de ensino das professoras). Nesses singulares cenários escolares, cotidianamente (re)inventados, figura o ensino de língua portuguesa, e sua importância atribui-se à interação social de surdos no País, sendo que estes, como estudantes, têm sinalizado maior interesse em aprendê-la. Nesta tese, a língua portuguesa, na modalidade escrita, é entendida como uma língua adicional à Libras, de modo que, em práticas discursivas pedagógicas e escolares, é dada relevância para a educação linguística e o letramento de surdos em português. Nesses processos de ensino, sugerem-se mudanças curriculares; também se apontam os necessários avanços na produção de recursos didáticos e na interlocução com subsídios teóricos e estratégias metodológicas. Além disso, o olhar para as práticas discursivas escolares possibilita concluir que o ensino de língua portuguesa está articulado a representações acerca do sujeito surdo, a concepções de ensino de uma língua e a experiências escolares.In conjunction to Cultural Studies in Education, to the Deaf Studies and to Linguistics, it is sought, in this thesis, to answer the problem of search: how has the Portuguese language teaching for deaf been produced in bilingual education contexts in Rio Grande do Sul? For this, the objective is to: a) describe and discuss bilingual education in deaf schools in Rio Grande do Sul; b) investigate and analyze discursive practices of Portuguese teaching for deaf in bilingual education contexts. When operating with theoretical and methodological tools of Foucault's discourse analysis, the data of this research were produced in stages: 1) visits for presentation to eight (8) schools participating in the survey, including conversations with members of the school management and teacher teams (with routing ethical procedures); 2) research on school documents: School Rules, Political and Pedagogical Plans and the curricular component of Portuguese Studies; 3) in-person interviews with twelve (12) Portuguese-speaking teachers for deaf; 4) conversation circles with participant teachers of the research. In an analysis of cultural artifacts it indicates that, given the failures of deaf students in special or regular schools and the consequent resistance to ineffective oral and bimodal teaching methods, it is necessary to fight for another conduction mode: a bilingual education, which is being built on deaf schools. In the composition of the corpus of this research, undertaken research makes it possible to conclude that a bilingual education for deaf is mainly woven in academic, political and discursive practices being the 'discourse of bilingual education' produced by statements of different discursive fields, which give true status. In defense of the capability of a bilingual education for the deaf, centered on education and access to the world of Sign Language, in contact with artifacts of deaf culture and the encounter with different deaf, the school context research also points obstacles and challenges, particularly language - cultural (use and status of languages in contact), socioeconomic (family participation and investment in school) and political-pedagogical (penetrations of the sponsors, concepts that permeate the education for the deaf, teacher training and educational proposals for teachers). These unique school settings, daily (re)invented stands the Portuguese language teaching, and its importance is attributed to social interaction for the deaf in the country, and these, as students, have signaled greater interest in learning it. In this thesis, the Portuguese language in the written form is understood as an additional language to Sign Language, so that, in pedagogical and discursive practices, it is given relevance for language education and literacy in deaf Portuguese. In these educational processes, they suggest curriculum changes; also show the necessary advances in the production of teaching resources and dialogue with theoretical support and methodological strategies. In addition, the look at the school discursive practices allows to conclude that the Portuguese language teaching is articulated to representations about the deaf subject, the teaching concepts of language and school experiences.

Full textAbstract:
The transition to school is considered an important milestone in early childhood development with implications for later school outcomes. However, it has been largely uninvestigated for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). The overarching goal of this dissertation was to examine the transition from specialized early intervention (EI) programs into the school system for children who are D/HH and their families.
Study 1 investigated the availability, accessibility and content of information on the transition to school for D/HH children on government, outreach program, EI program and school district websites in British Columbia (B.C.), Canada. Results indicated that the majority of these websites offer little information about the transition to school, particularly in rural areas. Limited accessibility, particularly for individuals with disabilities or with lower English literacy was noted.
Study 2 investigated the transition from the perspective of administrators and directors from EI, outreach, and school-based programs for D/HH children. Using the enhanced critical incident technique (ECIT), 146 incidents were extracted from 10 interviews and sorted into 10 helping, nine hindering and five wish list categories. Findings highlight the importance of communication and information exchange among stakeholders to provide a smooth transition to school for D/HH children.
To further investigate the communication that occurs and the relationships that develop among stakeholders during D/HH children’s transition to school, Study 3 used activity theory as a framework to examine the means by which stakeholders (parents, EI providers, and teachers of the deaf) communicated, and the topics that they discussed. Results add support for families’ need for information about their child’s educational program, and use of personalized, high-intensity transition practices to support children and their families through the transition process. The overall findings of this dissertation lend support to the Ecological and Dynamic Model of Transition (Rimm-Kaufman & Pianta, 2000), which conceptualizes the transition to school as being influenced by a pattern of interactions between the individuals, groups, and institutions connected to the child. Future directions for research and practice are discussed.Education, Faculty of

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido na extensão do Mestrado em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. O caso estudado constitui-se em análise acerca do ensino oferecido a surdos de uma escola da rede estadual de Manaus, denominada Escola Estadual Augusto Carneiro dos Santos (EEACS), que tem como documentos norteadores o Projeto Político Pedagógico, o Regimento e a proposta curricular bilíngue. Tal proposta tem como base legal o Decreto Federal 5626, de 22 de dezembro de 2005, o qual assegura que os alunos surdos tenham uma educação bilíngue, ou seja, uma educação pautada no ensino da língua de sinais como língua de instrução para a aquisição da língua portuguesa na modalidade escrita. O objetivo definido para este estudo foi compreender de que forma as práticas de ensino desta escola são efetivas no sentido de valorização do indivíduo surdo quanto às suas peculiaridades e especificidades, em respeito às suas diferenças linguística, identitária e cultural. Para tanto, foi feita uma contextualização histórica e política da educação no Brasil, além da descrição da rede estadual de educação de Manaus e da EEACS. Visando ao desenvolvimento de um trabalho pautado no papel da gestão escolar, optamos por uma pesquisa qualitativa, um estudo descritivo e uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a educação para surdos. Esta pesquisa utiliza observação do cotidiano escolar e entrevista como instrumentos para coleta de dados. Diante da observação e análise dos dados, percebemos que, por falta de capacitação de alguns professores em língua de sinais e inexistência de um sistema de avaliação adaptado ao surdo, a concepção de educação bilíngue, por parte dos atores envolvidos no processo educacional, se mostrou superficial, distanciando-se do que é apresentado nos documentos que embasam o trabalho da escola. Frente a isso, a pesquisa pretendeu desenvolver um Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE) voltado para uma educação com base em uma perspectiva bilíngue. Para isso, utilizaremos autores que abordam a temática, como Perlin (1998), Skliar (1998), Guarinello (2007), Stürmer (2009), Gesser (2009), Sá (2011), Silvério (2014), dentre outros, além dos fundamentos legais.
The present study was developed in the extension of the Mestrado em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação of the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. The case studied is an analysis about the education offered to the deaf students of a school of the state network of Manaus, called Escola Estadual Augusto Carneiro dos Santos (EEACS), which has as guiding documents the Pedagogical Political Project, the Regiment and the bilingual curriculum proposal. This proposal has as its legal basis the Federal Decree 5626, of December 22, 2005, which ensures that deaf students have a bilingual education, in other words, an education based on the teaching of sign language as a language of instruction for the acquisition of the Portuguese language in written form. The objective defined for this study was to understand how the teaching practices of this school are effective in the sense of valuing the deaf individual as to their peculiarities and specificities, in respect to their linguistic, identity and cultural differences. For that, was made a historical and political contextualization of education in Brazil, besides the description of the state education network of Manaus and of the EEACS. Aiming at the development of a work based on the role of school management, we chose a qualitative research, a descriptive study and a bibliographical research on education for the deaf. This research uses observation of everyday school life and interviews as instruments for data collection. Before the observation and data analysis we realize that, for lack of training of some teachers in sign language and absence of an evaluation system tailored to the deaf, the conception of bilingual education, by the actors involved in the educational process, has showed itself as superficial, distancing itself from what is presented in the documents that underpin the work of the school. Against this, the research intends to develop an Educational Action Plan (Plano de Ação Educacional - PAE) facing an education based on a bilingual perspective. For that, we will use authors who approach the subject, as Perlin (1998), Skliar (1998), Guarinello (2007), Stürmer (2009), Gesser (2009), Sá (2011), Silvério (2014), amongst others, besides the legal grounds.

Full textAbstract:
This study is focused on the deaf upper-secondary school students’ education in English. English is one of the core subjects in the Swedish school system and considered an important factor in students’ opportunities to participate in the global community. On this basis, the aim of this study is to understand how the English subject syllabus is adapted to cater for the deaf students’ needs, whether normative values are expressed in the English subject syllabus for the deaf, and whether those values might affect the deaf students’ opportunities to use English as a communicative language. More specifically, my questions are: What similarities and differences between the National Syllabus for English compared to the National Syllabus for English for the Deaf can be found under "English" and "Aim of the subject"?; what values and norms do these similarities and differences carry?; and how might those values and norms affect deaf students’ English education? To answer these questions a discourse analytic approach inspired by critical theory is conducted, where the two English subject syllabi, and the supplementary commentary material to the syllabi are compared. Analysis based on interviews of two upper-secondary school English teachers and a questionnaire answered by the students of the interviewees is provided as a supplement to the analysis of the syllabi. The findings show that the curricular texts contradict themselves on several occasions when applied to the deaf student as the intended learner, because they do not adapt to the plurilingual needs of the deaf students. The findings also show how the norm of spoken and written English is valued higher than the signed forms of the language. I argue that this might cause limitations to the discourse and development of an English education adapted to the needs of the deaf upper-secondary school students in Sweden.

Esta tese foi concebida com o compromisso de investigar a educação bilíngue nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental de três escolas públicas de surdos no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A investigação focalizou contextos de minoria linguística em ambiente bilíngue, bicultural e bimodal de educação de surdos. Nesse cenário, articularam-se estudos nos campos da Linguística Aplicada (CAVALCANTI, 2006; FABRÍCIO, 2006; MOITA LOPES, 2006) e da Educação, com ênfase no campo dos Estudos Surdos em Educação (KARNOPP, 2010; LOPES, 2010; STROBEL, 2009). Os dados foram gerados durante a pesquisa na interação entre pesquisadora e escolas pesquisadas, a partir de relatos de professores, observações, filmagens em vídeo e imagens da produção dos alunos disponibilizadas nas escolas. Entre as principais constatações do estudo, destaca-se que essas escolas ainda mostram resquícios da escola especial, porém com outro desenho, uma vez que ainda se verificam índices baixos de matrícula nas escolas, com turmas pequenas, multisseriadas, nas quais estão não só alunos surdos, mas também surdos com outras deficiências associadas ou não à surdez, alunos com e sem implante coclear, além de poucos profissionais surdos nesses espaços. A presença da língua de sinais é o modo de assegurar práticas pedagógicas significativas fundamentais para dar sentido à educação de surdos. Embora haja uma proposta bilíngue nas instituições pesquisadas, é preciso (re)construir um projeto educacional bilíngue que valorize, priorize e coloque em movimento a condição de vida bilíngue dos surdos, pautada pela diferença surda e pelo modo de vida surda. Em outras palavras, essa escola bilíngue necessita das ferramentas surdas. A língua de sinais é, sem dúvida, o elo importante da escola de surdos, pois possibilita o encontro social, promove a interação entre os surdos. Por meio da Libras, a escola também deve redimensionar o seu olhar sobre a escrita dos surdos, reconhecendo-a como uma escrita surda, que traduz a sua visão de mundo, o seu conhecimento de língua, o seu modo de ser, e que, por isso, tem suas particularidades. O objetivo do ensino da língua portuguesa escrita, para os surdos, como diversos pesquisadores têm apontado (KARNOPP, 2015; PEREIRA, 2011), deve promover a compreensão e a produção de textos que circulam na sociedade. Há fragilidades e potencialidades no contexto das escolas bilíngues de surdos pesquisadas. É preciso promover mais pesquisas e mais diálogo com as escolas de surdos, por meio da articulação produtiva entre Linguística Aplicada e Educação, visando à (re)significação de propostas pedagógicas bilíngues capazes de, a partir de modos de vida surda, da cultura surda, da Libras, promover o acesso à leitura e à escrita da língua portuguesa dentro e fora das escolas. Com isso, é possível valorizar, recuperar e promover as potencialidades e, ao mesmo tempo, buscar formas de superar as fragilidades neste mosaico em que visualizamos as escolas bilíngues desta pesquisa.
This thesis aimed to investigate the bilingual education in early grades of Basic Education in three public deaf schools in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The investigation focused on contexts of linguistic minority in bilingual, bicultural and bimodal settings of deaf education. In this scenario, we articulated studies in the fields of Applied Linguistics (CAVALCANTI, 2006; FABRÍCIO, 2006; MOITA LOPES, 2006) and Education, with an emphasis on the field of Deaf Studies in Education (KARNOPP, 2010; LOPES, 2010; STROBEL, 2009). Data were generated along the research through the interaction between the researcher and the schools, considering teachers’ reports, observations, videos and images of the students’ productions available in the schools. Among the main conclusions of this study, we can highlight that those schools still evidence traces of the special school, but with a different design, since the rates of enrollment are still low, with small, multi-grade groups, in which there are not only deaf students, but also deaf students with other disabilities associated or not to deafness, students with and without cochlear implants, and few deaf professionals. The use of sign language is a means to guarantee significant pedagogical practices that are fundamental to make deaf education meaningful. Although there is a bilingual proposal in the institutions here addressed, it is necessary to (re)construct a bilingual educational project that values, prioritizes and considers the bilingual life condition of the deaf, which is based on both the deaf difference and the deaf way of life. In other words, this bilingual school needs the deaf tools. Sign language is undoubtedly an important link in the deaf school, as it enables social experiences by favoring the interaction between the deaf. By means of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), the school should also reconsider the way it sees the deaf writing by acknowledging it as something that translates their world view, their language knowledge, their way of being, and has its particularities. The objective of teaching Portuguese language writing to the deaf, as several researchers have stated (KARNOPP, 2015; PEREIRA, 2011), should favor the comprehension and production of texts that are spread in society. There are weaknesses and strengths in the context of bilingual deaf schools considered. It is necessary to carry out other researches and favor the dialogue with the deaf schools by means of a productive articulation between Applied Linguistics and Education aiming at (re)signifying bilingual pedagogical proposals that are able to give access to Portuguese reading and writing both inside and outside the schools by taking into account the deaf ways of life, the deaf culture and Libras. Then, it is possible to value, recover and foster potentialities and, at the same time, seek for ways to overcome the weaknesses in this mosaic in which we see the bilingual schools of this research.

Full textAbstract:
How do teachers’ attitudes and beliefs impact how HIV/AIDS education is implemented in Kenyan schools for the deaf? How do these attitudes and beliefs reflect how teachers think about Deafness? While there is extensive literature exploring in-school HIV/AIDS-related education in East Africa, there are few studies focusing on segregated schools for the deaf. There are also few studies exploring how educators think about Deafness as culture in this region. Western Kenya offers a useful site for the exploration of these topics with mandated, in-school HIV/AIDS curriculum and a high density of schools for the deaf. Related research also argues that teachers’ attitudes and beliefs and the politics of schooling are useful in exploring socio-cultural constructions of Deafness. While previous studies have argued that “Deaf-friendly” HIV/AIDS education is not occurring in this region, this study found examples in these schools. Data from this study also revealed that this education was shaped by the beliefs and attitudes teachers held about sexuality, and Deafness and sign language. Furthermore, this study found that these attitudes and beliefs revealed underlying beliefs about Deafness that illustrate a range of constructions within this group of teachers. This study spanned 15 weeks of fieldwork gathering data through interviews, questionnaires and observations with 81 participants. Data focused primarily on interviews and questionnaires with 43 teachers in three segregated schools for the deaf in the Nyanza and Western provinces. There were 8 Deaf teachers who participated from these school sites supplemented by an additional 24 Deaf participants working in schools across Kenya to balance data. This study found that while the nationally-mandated HIV/AIDS course curriculum was not implemented in these schools, there was a significant presence of “embedded” and informal HIV/AIDS education. Teachers had a range of feelings about this education, some of which were unique to teaching Deaf children and children using sign language. They also reported how “Deaf stereotypes” shaped how they approached and implemented this education. In some cases these beliefs and attitudes simply heightened preexisting concerns about HIV/AIDS education in similar ways to parallel studies of “regular” schools in this region. However the most striking conclusion from this research was that the presence of “Deaf culture” and the use of sign language among the student population changed the way teachers approached, implemented and reflected upon this education in unique ways not seen in “regular” schools. Interviews also showed that some teachers rationalized their approach to this education because they felt that the Deaf were “different” in certain ways, especially in terms of sexuality. These conclusions are helpful for those in HIV/AIDS education, Comparative and International Education, Disability Studies, Deaf Studies and Medical Anthropology.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores the benefits of cochlear implants (CI) for the educational progress and placement of deaf pupils at primary school in Saudi Arabia (SA). It also examines factors that might affect these benefits. This study provides an insight into the current situation of the educational status of deaf pupils with CIs in Riyadh in SA. Pilot study was conducted in order to examine the clarity of the research questions, instruments contents and structure. Amendments were made according to the findings of this pilot study. Participants comprised parents, teachers and clinicians’ perceptions, experiences and school academic report are involved by using semi structured questionnaires and interviews data. One hundred and ninety-six participants are from fifteen primary schools and one hospital. Key features highlighted advantages and disadvantages of CI, educational performance level of deaf pupils with CIs and compared to deaf pupils without CIs, availability of inclusion within mainstream classroom for deaf pupils with CIs and the factors might affect such educational progress and placements. The majority of parents, teachers and clinicians stated that CI has positive outcomes on the deaf child and benefits upon the educational progress. A substantial difference before and after surgery for better in improved hearing, educational achievement, language and speech, psychological and social aspects, more potential for inclusive education and greater independence were stated by parents, teachers and clinicians as advantages gained by their children/pupils/patients using CI. Analysis of data showed a notable discrepancy between participants’ experiences regarding the benefits of CI and the reality of the children educational progress and placements. The majority of pupils with CIs are studying in the year below the year that they are supposed to be at for their chronological age. Also, respect to the educational placements settings, the majority of pupils with CIs involved in this study are educated at units/classes attached to mainstream school but not within mainstream classroom where their hearing peers are. The study identified the factors affecting the benefits of CI, not only those that are related to the cochlear implants themselves, but also school-related factors and the role of administration and awareness, which seem to be dimensions that affect the outcome of CI in the Kingdom. Implications are discussed in view of findings.

Esta dissertação analisa as estratégias de governamento dos sujeitos surdos na e para a inclusão escolar. O corpus da investigação foi constituído de documento produzido pela comunidade surda e documentos legais do Ministério da Educação e Cultura (MEC) referentes à educação de surdos e à educação inclusiva, compreendendo o recorte temporal de uma década – período de 1999 a 2009. Dentre os documentos analisados estão: A educação que nós surdos queremos (1999), a Lei Nº 10172 de 09 de Janeiro de 2001 que aprova o Plano Nacional de Educação (2001-2010), o Decreto 5626 de 22 de Dezembro de 2005 que regulamenta a Lei Nº 10436 de 24 de Abril de 2002 que dispõe sobre a Língua Brasileira de Sinais – LIBRAS, a Política Nacional de Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva (2008), entre outros. Como referencial teórico-metodológico, utilizo as produções de Michel Foucault e outros autores pós-estruturalistas que me auxiliam nas análises dos documentos e das estratégias que deles resultam para o governamento dos surdos na Contemporaneidade no Brasil. Como ferramenta analítica utilizo a noção de governamento, especialmente produtiva e útil ao trabalho proposto. Entendo a inclusão escolar dos sujeitos surdos como uma estratégia de governamento que contribui para o funcionamento de uma racionalidade econômica neoliberal e que convoca a todos para participarem do jogo do mercado. Nesse jogo, cada um é empresário de si e joga conforme suas fichas lhe permitem. Dito de outra forma, na proposta de inclusão escolar dos sujeitos surdos as condições de acesso e de participação encontram-se dadas pela garantia legal de profissionais docentes e tradutores/intérpretes proficientes na Língua de Sinais, mas cabe a cada surdo gerir e operacionalizar sua participação no jogo concorrencial que consubstancia mercado e educação. A partir disso, vejo sendo operadas diferentes estratégias de governamento dos surdos no campo educacional contemporâneo, dentre elas, destaco as estratégias de acessibilidade para a constituição de condutas surdas participativas e as estratégias de governamento pela certificação e difusão do uso da Libras.This work analyzes strategies that have ruled deaf subjects both in and for school inclusion. The corpus of this investigation consists of a document produced by the deaf community and official documents of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) concerning deaf education and inclusive education in a one-decade period – from 1999 to 2009. Some of the documents analyzed are the following: The education that we, the deaf, want (1999); Act nr. 10172, from January 9th, 2001, which approved the National Education Planning (2001-2010); Decree 5626, from December 22nd, 2005, which regulates Act nr. 10436, from April 24th, 2002, presenting the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras); and the National Policy of Special Education in the Inclusion Education Perspective (2008). As theoretical-methodological references, I have used productions by Michel Foucault and other post-structuralist authors that have contributed to the analysis of both the documents and the strategies resulting from them that seek to govern the deaf in Brazil in contemporaneity. A analytical tool, I have used the notion of governing, which were specially productive and useful to this work. I understand school inclusion of deaf subjects as a strategy that both contributes to the functioning of a neoliberal economic rationale and invites everybody to participate in the market game. In this game, individuals are their own entrepreneurs and play according to their possibilities. In other words, in the proposal for school inclusion of deaf subjects, their conditions of access and participation are established through the legal guarantee of teachers and interpreters that are proficient in Sign Language, but it behooves each deaf individual to manage and exert his/her participation in a competitive game that matches market with education. It is possible to see different strategies that govern the deaf operating in the contemporary education field; among them, I would highlight governing strategies for the constitution of participative deaf conducts, and governing strategies that operate through both the certification and the dissemination of the Brazilian Sign Language.

A dissertação a seguir acontece no âmbito de uma escola bilíngue para surdos e parte da seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: Como vem acontecendo os processos de construção e desenvolvimento de currículos para surdos com deficiência em uma escola de surdos? O objetivo geral foi acompanhar os processos de construção e desenvolvimento de currículos para surdos com deficiência em uma escola de surdos. Situo a pesquisa no campo dos Estudos Culturais e dos Estudos Surdos, com os autores: Carlos Skliar (2005) e as discussões feitas por ele sobre uma pedagogia da diferença para surdos pensada a partir da língua de sinais, da cultura e identidades surdas; Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2005) e seus estudos sobre as teorias do currículo, para compreender como ocorrem as configurações de currículo e as relações de saberpoder que estão presentes nelas; Marisa Vorraber Costa (2001) e suas problematizações sobre a política cultural do currículo; Mônica Zavacki de Morais e Márcia Lise Lunardi-Lazzarin (2009) com discussões sobre os discursos curriculares da educação de surdos; Daniele de Paula Formozo (2009) trazendo as reflexões dos discursos curriculares da educação de surdos e Adriana da Silva Thoma (2012) discutindo a diferença e a cultura surda no cenário da educação inclusiva como desafios para o currículo. Como metodologia, fiz observações e registros em diário de campo de encontros de formação de professores, reuniões pedagógicas e em salas de aulas com alunos surdos com deficiência nos Ciclos de Formação. A partir da análise dos dados, construí três unidades: 1) O dia-a-dia na sala de aula inclusiva na escola bilíngue: novas experiências de currículos: nessa unidade, apresento falas e registros das observações sobre o trabalho na sala de aula com alunos surdos com deficiência e pude perceber a necessidade de formação para os professores bilíngues sobre as diferentes áreas de deficiências, onde possam discutir situações com as quais eles convivem e criar estratégias para que as singularidades sejam respeitadas; 2) Currículos para as singularidades: o desenvolvimento da linguagem visual para os surdos com deficiência: os professores bilíngues buscam experimentar e aprender com o desafio de planejar e desenvolver aulas diferenciadas para cada um dos alunos surdos com deficiência, através de planos individualizados. 3) Encontros dos professores: desafiando-se ao novo: o olhar dos professores para os alunos surdos com deficiência precisa ser um novo olhar, pois trabalhar com esses alunos é um desafio para eles. Assim, os professores estão construindo e experimentando propostas curriculares em sala de aula, errando, acertando e buscando a formação continuada para diminuir suas inquietações.The following dissertation happens within a bilingual school for the deaf and part of the following research question: How have the processes of construction and development of resumés for the deaf with disabilities been happening in a school for the deaf? The overall goal was to follow the processes of construction and development of resumés for the deaf with disabilities in a school for the deaf. I situate the research in the field of Cultural Studies and Deaf Studies, with the authors: Carlos Skliar (2005) and the discussions made by him on a difference of pedagogy for the deaf thought from the sign language, deaf culture and identities; Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2005) and his studies of the curriculum theories to understand how curriculum settings occur and relations of power-knowledge that are present in them; Marisa Vorraber Costa (2001) and her problematizations on cultural policy of the curriculum; Monica Zavacki de Morais and Marcia Lise Lunardi-Lazzarini (2009) with discussions about curriculum discourses of deaf education; Daniele de Paula Formozo (2009) bringing the reflections of curriculum discourses of deaf education and Adriana da Silva Thoma (2012) discussing the difference and the deaf culture in the setting of inclusive education as challenges to the curriculum. As a methodology, I made observations and records in field diary of teacher training meetings, educational meetings and classrooms with deaf students with disabilities in training cycles. From the data analysis, I built three units: 1) The day-to-day in an inclusive classroom in a bilingual school: new experiences of resumes: this unit, I present speeches and records of observations on the work in the classroom with deaf students with disabilities and I could see the need for training for bilingual teachers about the different areas of deficiencies, where they can discuss situations with which they live and develop strategies so the singularities can be respected; 2) Resumes for singularities: the development of visual language for deaf people with disabilities: the bilingual teachers seek to experience and learn from the challenge to plan and develop differentiated lessons for each of deaf students with disabilities through individual plans. 3) meetings of teachers: challenging to the new: the teachers' perspective on deaf students with disabilities needs to be a new look, because working with these students is a challenge for them. So teachers are building and experimenting curricular proposals in the classroom, by getting it wrong, getting it right and seeking continuing education to decrease their concerns.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROEsse trabalho tem como questão central problematizar o discurso da escola inclusiva como a forma mais eficaz de promover a universalização do acesso à educação e a atenção à diversidade, tendo como foco a inclusão escolar de alunos/as surdos/as na perspectiva intercultural. Com base na concepção de linguagem e de aprendizagem como processos sociais e dialógicos, de surdez como uma diferença cultural e dos/as surdos/as como indivíduos que se constituem como sujeitos na Língua de Sinais, foi realizado um estudo de caso de cunho etnográfico numa escola inclusiva por um período de seis meses, com o objetivo de investigar os limites e as possibilidades das relações entre surdos/as e ouvintes com a presença de intérpretes de Língua de Sinais. Para tanto, foram feitas observações do cotidiano escolar e realizadas um total trinta e sete entrevistas individuais e semi-estruturadas com professores/as, alunos/as surdos/as, alunos/as ouvintes e intérpretes de Língua de Sinais. Os resultados obtidos nessa pesquisa apontam a necessidade de refletir sobre as implicações negativas da inclusão escolar de surdos/as, sob os pontos de vista lingüístico, educacional e identitário e sobre o papel do/a intérprete educacional na escola inclusiva.
The central point of this work is to discuss, in the intercultural perspective, inclusive schooling discourse as the most efficient way of promoting universalization of access to education and attention to diversity, focusing on the inclusion of deaf students. Based on the concepts of language and learning as social and dialogical processes, of deafness as a cultural difference and of deaf people as individuals that become subjects in Sign Language, an etnographic study was carried out for six months, inside an inclusive school, in order to investigate the limits and possibilities of the relations among deaf and hearing people in the presence of Sign Language interpreters. Daily school observations were realized during this period and thirty-seven semi- structered individual interviews were conducted with hearing teachers, deaf students, hearing students and Sign Language interpreters. This research indicates the necessity of reflection on the negative implications of deaf people inclusive schooling in linguistic, educational and identitary aspects and on the role of the educational interpreter inside inclusive school.

Full textAbstract:
This study is set in Saudi Arabia within the context of increasing national and international emphasis on inclusive education of deaf students and where policy overtly supports increasingly inclusive schools. This research is important because it is one of the few qualitative Saudi Arabian studies that have been conducted within the interpretive paradigm with a view to understanding the complexity of inclusive education. It specifically explores the factors that have influenced its theory and practice at inclusive boys’ primary schools for deaf students in the Saudi educational context. The empirical study which was set in the Local Educational Authority in Riyadh city focuses on the perceptions of schools' principals, teachers and parents of deaf students. It explores the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and experiences of these three groups of participants regarding the inclusive education of deaf students, in order to establish the factors that influence inclusive education and determine the kind of services that are needed for inclusive education of deaf students in the Saudi context. The study had two stages: the first involved exploratory focus-group interviews with schools' staff including schools' principals, teachers and parents of deaf students; and, stage two was based upon individual interviews, observations and documentary data. I adopted a purposive sampling strategy in both cases and overall 61 participants were included. A key finding was that principals of inclusive schools lacked the knowledge and understanding of inclusive education necessary for effective education for deaf students. This arguably has affected their attitudes and unconstructively influenced their attitudes towards the inclusive education of deaf students in their schools. Whilst the majority of teachers of deaf children had more knowledge and the necessary positive views towards their inclusive education and have tried to adapt classroom materials and activities to accommodate deaf students, the lack of support from principals inhibited them. In addition parents appear to lack knowledge about inclusion and its possibilities for their children and they are as such excluded from influencing educational policy and mostly do not play the role in inclusive schools to support their children that Saudi Arabian policy suggests they should. Other inhibiting factors for inclusive education for deaf students included insufficient facilities and resources, lack of training courses and lack of collaboration among school staff and between staff and parents of deaf students. My research indicates that these insufficiencies cannot be addressed without there being a symbiotic relationship between principals, teachers, parents, the Local Educational Authority, the Ministry of Education and the school environment. There is a strong need to create mechanisms to change the knowledge, attitudes and qualifications of principals, teachers and parents. Therefore in response to these findings I have developed and proposed a strategic model that focuses on the deaf student and their educational support, for the Saudi Education System. There is considerable research needed if inclusive education for deaf students is to be more grounded in an understanding of the context. The study ended with utilising its findings and previous literature to develop recommendations for theories of inclusive education and made contributions to knowledge about the role of attitudes. It also provided a set of policy guidelines and made suggestions about pedagogy. In Saudi, organisationally the Local Educational Authority need to pay more attention to funding inclusive schools and providing facilities and specialised training to school staff and parents. With work this may lead to successful inclusive education for deaf students in Saudi Arabia.
