Learning via direct and mediated instruction by deaf students

Four experiments investigated classroom learning by deaf college students receiving lectures from instructors signing for themselves or using interpreters. Deaf students' prior content knowledge, scores on postlecture assessments of content learning, and gain scores were compared to those of hearing classmates. Consistent with prior research, deaf students, on average, came into and left the classroom with less content knowledge than hearing peers, and use of simultaneous communication (sign and speech together) and American Sign Language (ASL) apparently were equally effective for deaf students' learning of the material. Students' self-rated sign language skills were not significantly related to performance. Two new findings were of particular importance. First, direct and mediated instruction (via interpreting) were equally effective for deaf college students under the several conditions employed here. Second, despite coming into the classroom with the disadvantage of having less content knowledge, deaf students' gain scores generally did not differ from those of their hearing peers. Possible explanations for these findings are considered.  相似文献

比尔.佩尔茨博士是纽约州立大学赫基默社区学院（Herkimer County Community College）（HC-CC）大学心理学教授。比尔.佩尔茨教授可以算作是HCCC大学的元老级教授,他是在1968年8月进入该校任教,第二年这所大学才开始正式运营。在38年的教学生涯中,他曾经担任过人文社科部主席,远程学习部主任等职,但是他一直没有中断他最热爱的事业-教学。1994年,他获得了“纽约州立大学系统校长优秀教学奖”;2003年,由于他在网络教学方面的尝试和出色的成果,获得斯隆基金会“Sloan-C2003年度优秀网上教学奖”-这些大奖是对他在教学方面研究和钻研的肯定。佩尔茨发表了多篇论文,近年来,他的研究兴趣集中在学生和教师对网络异步教学的满意度方面的研究和实践,目前他正在研究在虚拟学习环境中有哪些教学因素影响学生的学业成就。除了担任全职的网络教师以外,佩尔茨还是HCCC网络学院的负责人,HCCC教学设计专家。此外,他还担任SLN的主要培训师,在过去的五年里,他已经把1000多名来自纽约州立大学系统各个大学的普通教师培养成了网络教师。他还代表纽约州立大学系统担任Merlot项目的心理学科代表,Merlot是美国高校开展的一项精品网络教学资源建设和共享计划,目的是建立美国高等教育精品资源库。  相似文献   

Classroom Interpreting and Visual Information Processing in Mainstream Education for Deaf Students: Live or Memorex?     

Marschark M  Pelz JB  Convertino C  Sapere P  Arndt ME  Seewagen R 《American educational research journal》2005,42(4):727-761

This study examined visual information processing and learning in classrooms including both deaf and hearing students. Of particular interest were the effects on deaf students' learning of live (three-dimensional) versus video-recorded (two-dimensional) sign language interpreting and the visual attention strategies of more and less experienced deaf signers exposed to simultaneous, multiple sources of visual information. Results from three experiments consistently indicated no differences in learning between three-dimensional and two-dimensional presentations among hearing or deaf students. Analyses of students' allocation of visual attention and the influence of various demographic and experimental variables suggested considerable flexibility in deaf students' receptive communication skills. Nevertheless, the findings also revealed a robust advantage in learning in favor of hearing students.  相似文献
