Deaf Girls Talk About Math And Their Future, Patricia Spiecker

Theses

This study investigated the three variables of deaf girls' attributions for success and failure in mathematics.

Parallel research studies from hearing populations have been done. This study was conducted at Rochester School for the Deaf in New York. The subjects were eleven deaf high school girls ranging from seventh grade to eleventh grade. Also included in the subjects were the eleven parents of the deaf high school girls. The study included both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Qualitative …

Alcohol Awareness Education In The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Classroom, Julie Wainman

Theses

It has often been pointed out that education/prevention curricula in the schools has not accommodated the communication skills of deaf or hard of hearing students and have often been insensitive to their culture. For example, the lessons are frequently presented in a language that the deaf student cannot understand. Furthermore, it has been indicated that there is a need for further study focusing on alcohol abuse by deaf adolescents and its contributing factors. There is also a need to recognize that the deaf population has been mostly overlooked in terms of understanding that they are at-risk and changes need to …

Effective Practices In Classroom Management: A Literature Review, Marlene Hentschel

Theses

There has been a great deal of research on the topic of effective classroom management since the early 1970's with the classic research of Kounin.

This article summarizes effective management practices across different grade levels.

Cooking Curriculum For Individuals With Disabilities, Patricia Bogardus

Theses

Since the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), an increasing number of students are being mainstreamed into public schools. As a result, the percentage of students with secondary disabilities in schools for the deaf is increasing. Therefore, strong life skill curriculums are necessary in the schools. "Contrary to popular belief, people aff1icted with mental retardation and learning disabilities are capable of and enjoy preparing foodstuff," (Cox, 1981). Cooking is a skill that every person should have. A cookbook designed for individuals with disabilities will help individuals become more independent. A visual step-by-step cookbook will enable individuals with …

History Of Idea And The Impact On Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Students, Adam Garfinkel

Theses

My master's project focuses on the main federal special education law- the Reauthorization of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments (IDEA- 1997)- that was due to be reauthorized in the year 2002. The reauthorization bill was left unapproved because the United States Congress has had more urgent legislation involving war with Iraq, the national security of our nation and its citizens and the global war on terrorism, Medicare, the high rate of unemployment and a huge growing deficit. It is timely to investigate the current law because the educational issues of children with disabilities have not been met yet. It …

Social Issues Facing Deaf Students In Mainstream Education, Jennifer Lunney

Theses

This review examined the serious impact social isolation can have for the mainstreamed deaf student. When considering a successful high school experience, one must consider both the academic and social components. It is proposed here that the isolation a deaf student typically experiences will greatly impact their identity and self-esteem. Additionally, this review examined the role of the unwritten curriculum, the issue of a least,restrictive environment, identity and socialization/isolation factors, and teaching strategies as they relate to mainstream education. Deaf students face barriers in the mainstream that are often overlooked by teachers and parents. This review consolidates and highlights the …

Compliant Ortho-Planar Spring Behavior Under Complex Loads, Nathan Oliver Rasmussen

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis presents research on the feasibility of applying compliant-ortho-planar springs (COPS) to rotational applications. The primary motivation of this research is the application of COPS to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The design space limitations, loading conditions, stresses, stress concentrations, and limitations of current design tools, such as pseudo-rigid-body models (PRBM) for COPS, are discussed. A new 3D PRBM is presented along with a discussion on the possible applications of such to a rotating COPS. Stress stiffening and lateral stability are two major phenomena occurring in a rotating COPS. Both phenomena are a direct result of the inertial loads …

Towards The Rational Design Of Mri Contrast Agents: A Practical Approach To The Synthesis Of Gadolinium Complexes That Exhibit Optimal Water Exchange, Mark Woods, Mauro Botta, Stefano Avedano, Jing Wang, A. Dean Sherry

Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

The gadolinium(III) complex of S-SSSS-NO₂BnDOTMA exhibits water exchange kinetics that are optimal for use in high relaxivity or targeted contrast agents. However, the synthesis of this ligand is hampered by the steric encumbrance imparted upon the cyclen ring by the nitrobenzyl substituent. A relatively simple modification has been used to enable the synthesis of larger quantities of a bifunctional ligand that retains similar fast water exchange properties. The gadolinium complex of S-SSS-NO₂BnDO3MA-1A is shown to retain the rapid water exchange kinetics characteristic of a twisted square antiprismatic (TSAP) …

Curriculum Project Proposal: Deaf Art Students Using K-W-L Strategy, Leisa Boling

Theses

The purpose of this project is to determine if the use of the K-W-L teaching model will foster Deaf art students' cognitive knowledge and ability to express in an art form what they have learned regarding a specific subject. The following observation was made over a three year period working with Deaf art students. Deaf students need guidelines and a method of developing their ability to determine: · prior subject knowledge; · if additional information is needed; · results of research and; · how to use the information to express their creative ideas about a topic. K-W-L provides a visual …

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.

Cochlear Implants: A Tips & Reference Guide For Teachers Working With Students Using Cis, Thomas Ohl

Theses

Like a stampede, the cochlear implant (CI) has taken the worlds of deaf and hardof- hearing persons by storm. From its inception in the mid 1980's, some have embraced the technology as a miracle cure, while others have thought of it as cultural genocide. Yet, today, many would argue that the implant has come and is here to stay. There are many teachers with students using implants who feel inadequately prepared to deal with this technology. You might be one of them. If you are, this booklet is for you...keep reading! This book will provide you with skills and expertise …
