INCLUSION AND d/DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING STUDENTS: A QUALITATIVE META-ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Human Research in Rehabilitation - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This study investigated the prominent perspectives on the effects of inclusion on d/Deaf and hard of hearing (d/Dhh) students. A systematic search of databases and journals was conducted. The researchers identified 23 studies that met the inclusion criteria, and other articles were analyzed to support the interpretations and provide suggestions for the improvement of inclusion. Inclusion of d/Dhh students in general education classrooms is controversial because of the students’ unique language and communication needs. In addition, there are contradictory findings regarding the effects of inclusion on academic achievement and social development. These inconsistent findings were primarily due to the use of different research methodologies, different measurements and tests, and the diverse experiences of the home and school environments. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations for further research are suggested.
