The Self-Concept of Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing and Hearing Students.
2016
The present study investigated the self-concept of deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students in different educational settings compared with those of hearing students in Ethiopia. The research involved a sample of 103 Grade 4 students selected from 7 towns in Ethiopia. They were selected from a special school for the deaf, a special class for the deaf, and a regular school.

Does English fall on deaf ears? A study of the motivational state of deaf and hard-of-hearing pupils of English
2009
Motivaation katsotaan yleisesti olevan yksi tärkeimmistä vieraan kielen opiskeluun vaikuttavista tekijöistä, ja se onkin sen takia paljon tutkittu ilmiö. Vähemmistöryhmät ovat kuitenkin näissä tutkimuksissa jääneet lähes huomiotta. Esimerkiksi kuurojen ja huonokuuloisten motivaatiota opiskella vieraita kieliä ei juuri ole tutkittu. Hyvänä esimerkkinä on kuitenkin ollut Hanni (2007), joka teki kvalitatiivisen tutkimuksen haastattelemalla seitsemää kuuroa heidän englannin kielen opiskelukokemuksistaan peruskoulusta korkeakouluopintoihin. Koska kaikki kuurot, kuten kaikki kuulevatkaan, eivät mene peruskoulun jälkeen lukioon, saati korkeakouluihin, tarkempi peruskouluvuosien opiskelumotivaation…
