Technology In University Physical Activity Courses: A Mini-Ethnographic Case Study, Dannon G. Cox, Jennifer M. Krause, Mark A. Smith

The Qualitative Report

As younger generations become increasingly reliant on technology, higher educational institutions must continually attempt to stay with or ahead of the curve to foster 21st century teaching and learning. College and university physical activity courses (PACs) are encouraged to incorporate technology for effective pedagogical practices. No qualitative research has specifically examined the culture of PACs instructors’ attitudes and experiences with technology as a pedagogical tool. A mini-ethnographic case study explored the use of technology among seven graduate teaching assistants who shared their pedagogical experiences, teaching practices, and perceptions of technology within PACs. Using an interpretive phenomenological analysis, composite narrative accounts …

When Deaf Parents Adopt Deaf Children: An Investigation Of The Concept Of Adoptive Parent Entitlement In Deaf Adopted Families, Barbara J. White

JADARA

The literature on Deaf people as parents in the past two decades is presented from both a culturally affirmative and a medical/pathological perspective (Jones, 1995; Lane, 1992, 1993; Meadow-Orlans, 1997; Spencer, Bodner-Johnson & Gutfreund, 1992), with the latter being more prevalent. It is rare to find an article that portrays Deaf people as highly competent and successful parents. It is even rarer to find an article that shows positive outcomes when Deaf parents adopt children (Shettle, 1997; White, 1997). The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of adoptive parenthood from the viewpoint of seven Deaf mothers …

Rehabilitating The Client With Monaural Hearing Loss, Jerome D. Schein, Maurice H. Miller

JADARA

Rehabilitators receive little, if any, advice about how to manage the client with a monaural hearing loss (MHL). How seriously should they view that condition? The rehabilitation literature devotes very little space to MHL. Indeed, rehabilitation textbooks have almost nothing to say about the effects of MHL can have and about what steps rehabilitators should take in responding to clients who present themselves with MHL. A review of the audiological and ontological research, however, leads to the conclusion that clients with MHL deserve rehabilitators’ careful attentions. These clients should be treated thoughtfully and sympathetically, because MHL’s effects can be, and …

Techniques In Treating Survivors Of Child Sexual Abuse: Problematic Areas In Their Application To The Deaf Population, Daniel B. Swartz

JADARA

Problems exist in identifying and treating deaf "survivors" of child sexual abuse. Even when they are identified, there are problems in effectively applying existing regimens of therapy to this special population. While main streaming the deaf person into society seems to be the wave of the future, and there are positive aspects to this, careful consideration, respect, and acknowledgement must be given to the special culture of the deaf person. Employing existing therapeutic methods, with only the adjustment of supplying an interpreter for the Deaf, may not be enough.

Cross Cultural Ethics In The Conduct Of Deafness Research, Robert Q. Pollard Jr.

JADARA

This paper argues for and illustrates the application of contemporary cross-cultural ethical principle sand practices in deafness research. The relevance of framing some deafness researchas cross-cultural is first explained. A gradient is defined where cultural bearing varies from low to high, depending on a study’s topic and design. It is concluded that scientists should employ contemporary cross-cultural ethical practices when their studies have cultural bearing. The evolution and nature of these special ethical practices are then detailed. They extend research protections beyond the individual participant to the host community as a collective entity. They address: relations with the heterogeneous host …
