A Meta-Analysis Of Demographic Characteristics And Learning By Deaf Students, Megan Fabich

Theses

This study is designed to identify those educational, communication and demographic characteristics which serve as predictors of student performance on college entrance exams as well as their comprehension learning via interpreted lectures at the college level. A database was created for 509 deaf students using information from 33 different demographic areas. A series of statistical analyses including multiple regressions were performed, none of which yielded statistically significant findings, despite their considerable power. These results indicate that deaf students' academic success is not pre-determined by anyone characteristic or combination of easily identifiable characteristics.

The Art-O-Mat Has Landed, Office Of Public Affairs

Press Releases

At first glance, visitors to the University Library at Governors State University might think it’s now okay to smoke around the stacks.

Not so.

The new cigarette machine that catches the visitor’s eye is none other than Art-O-Mat, one of many refurbished 1950s and 1960s cigarette machines popping up around the country. Each is unique and has one purpose in its new life: to vend pocket-sized original works of art in the shape of cigarette packages.

The Relationship Between Preferred Language/Communication Modality And English Literacy Among Deaf First-Year College Students, Matthew Kelly

Theses

This study examines the relationship between the communication modality preferences and reading skills for a group of 1,419 deaf first-year college students. These students were enrolled between the years 1984 and 2002 at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology. First, the relationship between self reported preference for communication and performance on a standardized assessment of English literacy is examined. Second, the relationship between self-rated sign language skills and reading performance is explored for the same group. Students prefering "Speech Alone" performed significantly better on the measure of reading ability than students prefering "Sign …

History Textbooks: Modifying So That Each Deaf Student May Learn With Ease, Jason Kulchinsky

Theses

The general goal for this project was to demonstrate how to modify history textbooks for the subject area of Social Studies. My experiences at internships recognized needs at the middle school level to have revised textbooks for students of normal intelligences but below-grade-level reading skills. However, practical problems obtaining a sample of children at the middle school level prevented me from demonstrating the problem or the solution at that level. So the goal of this project was to illustrate the process and the potential positive outcomes by using first-year college students instead. I expected the benefits to be similar at …

A Study Of Perceptions Of Mathematics Signs: Implications For Teaching, Paul Glaser

Theses

There is increasing importance being placed on the role mathematics signs play in teaching and learning in the classroom. Potential ramifications of invented signs on teaching and learning need to be investigated. Many teachers have different signs for certain mathematics terms and it is possible that a lack of standardization may influence learning. There is a particular need to investigate perceptions of technical signs in order to help prepare new teachers who pursue careers in mathematics education for the deaf. The present project was designed to assist new and experienced mathematics teachers and interpreters for the deaf as well as …

The Social Studies Classroom: Attitudes And Perspective From The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Students Through Literature, Amanda Sievers

Theses

Millions of children attend elementary, middle and high schools throughout the country to be instructed by teachers within six major subjects. Out of six main subjects taught in academic schools, social studies has been proven as one of the most difficult yet complex subjects among students especially the deaf and hard of hearing students. It has been noted where social studies, elaborate and diverse as it may be, have created an environment where most students have the tendency to associate this subject with negative attitudes and experiences. Critical factors contribute to the overall decline interest in socials studies such as …
