Eighteen deaf secondary students, ages 12–14 years (11 with British Sign Language as their dominant language, seven with English as their dominant language) engaged in an online research comprehension task. Six age-matched hearing spoken language bilingual students served as a comparison group. All participants were identified as confident readers by their teachers. Participants were asked to “think aloud” during an online search task to provide insights into their strategies. Additionally, participants completed a battery of assessments related to reading comprehension, vocabulary, non-verbal IQ, and working memory. Overall results showed similar use of strategies across all students. Strategies applied by the most skilled readers involved drawing on prior knowledge sources, e.g. informational websites or search engines, prior knowledge of the topic, and taking the time to read and evaluate website headings before deciding which one to use as source. Participants also made use of working memory skills. Findings highlight the importance of teaching online search and evaluation skills as part of the reading curriculum in schools.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"101 1","pages":"203 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83722077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With an estimated 30% to 40% of deaf children diagnosed with additional disabilities and an increasing number of families raising their children in multicultural environments, the landscape of deaf education is diverse and increasingly challenging. Deafness is often a new experience for hearing families whose children are born with hearing loss; more than 90 per cent of deaf and hard of hearing children are born to hearing parents who often have minimal understanding of the influence of deafness on their child’s development. This may mean they are making life-changing choices without access to relevant and evidence-based information. Decision-making, therefore, takes on a sense of urgency, particularly in the context of the time-sensitive development of communication and language in the formative years of a child’s development. Delays in making choices about language input can have dire consequences for a child’s future learning. Parents and caregivers may also experience confusion and uncertainty when dealing with the overwhelming volume of information available on the internet and social media. At times parents may also be faced with attitudinal biases of well-meaning professionals towards specific communication and intervention options. Many professionals who provide information to parents about intervention options may lack expertise in sign language, which also restricts the options available to parents and caregivers. As editors of Deafness & Education International, we acknowledge the essential role played by educators and allied professionals in promoting informed choice and decision-making for parents and caregivers of deaf and hard of hearing children. Parents and caregivers require unbiased information that promotes understanding of the benefits and risks of their choices and the short and long-term consequences of each option, including the risks of language deprivation when children do not have adequate language input. The information-sharing style between parents and caregivers, and professionals may vary according to a family’s needs. Still, the critical message for professionals is that the decision-making model is driven by the family, considering their culture, values and preferences. In our last editorial, “Rethinking the Language Development of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children” (25,1), we discussed the importance of providing a language-rich environment in the early years of a deaf child’s development. In the current issue, we follow this theme and have chosen four articles highlighting parents’ challenging decisions on behalf of their deaf or hard of hearing children with diverse communication and learning needs.

The method chosen was a partial replication of the one used by Banner and Wang (2011) in their think-aloud study to describe cognitive and metacognitive reading comprehension strategies use among deaf students and adults. The present study included similar interview questions and think-aloud procedures, which were conducted by a deaf teacher, native user of Chilean Sign Language (LSCh). Participants read informational texts and were interrupted three times during the reading task to answer questions about their cognitive and metacognitive processes. Results showed that these deaf adults can use strategies from all the categories identified by Pressley and Afflerbach (1995): constructing meaning, monitoring and improving comprehension, and evaluating comprehension. Some strategies described in the study from Banner and Wang were observed only in individual cases, and some of them were not used at all. The deaf participants of this study also used some strategies that were not included in some previous studies. Since very few deaf adults in Chile have completed higher education, the information provided by this study could be useful in guiding interventions aimed to improve reading comprehension in elementary, high school, and college DHH students. The relevance of early experiences with reading, and motivational factors associated to reading achievement are discussed.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"15 1","pages":"228 - 247"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75855013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
