The study aimed at identifying the level of psychological alienation and its relationship with some demographic variables among the hearing– impaired in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (80) students from the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf allocated at (50) males and (30) females. The researcher developed a tool to measure the psychological alienation and verify the psychometric features of the tool.The study results pointed out that the level of psychological alienation among the hearing – impaired was at medium level. The results also revealed the absence of statistically significant differences in the level of psychological alienation between the hearing – impaired males and females. The study also showed the presence of statistically significant differences in the psychological alienation level according to the variables of type of residence and the intensity of impairment where the differences were in favor of the deaf students. Based on the results, the researcher recommends the necessity of holding training and guiding programs to reduce the level of psychological alienation among the hearing – impaired in Jordan.

In a prospective study of 505 hearing impaired and deaf students conducted at Children's Hospital Eye Clinic, 48.7% were found to have significant ocular abnormalities. The prevalence of myopia, astigmatism, and pathological intraocular changes was found to be significantly increased over the general population. In addition, the prevalence of ocular abnormalities generally increased with the severity of the hearing loss. Of importance was the high prevalence of rubella-consistent abnormalities in the hearing impaired and deaf student populations. Rubella syndrome may be responsible for a major portion of high refractive errors and ocular pathological changes. It is recommended that ENT specialists and pediatricians be aware of the nearly 50% chance of ocular abnormality in hearing impaired and deaf students, and that ophthalmologic examination may be valuable for identification or confirmation of the etiology of hearing impairment.

AbstractDeaf students' recognition of indefinite pronouns and quantifiers was tested using written materials in the form of comic strips that provided pragmatically appropriate context. One hundred and eighty-seven profoundly hearing-impaired students, aged 7–23 years, served as subjects. There were significant developmental trends for both the indefinite pronouns and the quantifiers, with the quantifiers significantly more difficult than the indefinite pronouns. A comparison of the results with predictions drawn from theoretical linguistics and with predictions drawn from Developmental Sentence Scoring (Lee, 1974) data for hearing children indicates that theoretical predictions are more accurate for hearing-impaired students. This may be due to differences in methodology (DSS reports spontaneous spoken language; the present study reports comprehension of written English) and to educational practices with hearing-impaired students.

ABSTRACTThe article describes two research programs on the syntactic abilities of hearing impaired and normal hearing individuals. The first program was concerned with describing some of the syntactic problems of deaf students in acquiring English structure; the second involved the construction of theTest of Syntactic Abilitiesand its application to deaf, hard of hearing, and normal hearing students in the United States, Canada, and Australia. This report has four objectives: (1) to summarize and integrate the findings of the two research programs, (2) to relate the findings to the literature on other populations, (3) to discuss strategies used by the research populations in handling English syntax, and (4) to discuss some applications of the findings to language development.

The formal teaching and learning of the Quran for the hearing-impaired students in Malaysia is carried out at Special Education Schools offering Special Education Integration Program, locally known as ‘Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi’(PPKI). The teaching and learning of the Quran for hearing-impaired students are based on the Special Education Curriculum of the Islamic Education subject. In order to enhance the achievement of deaf students in learning the Quran, teachers need to plan lessons relevant to the content of the learning of the Quran and students’ abilities. The objective of this study was to explore the activity-based teaching, such as reading and memorizing, employed by teachers who were teaching the Quran to deaf students in eight primary schools offering PPKI. This study utilized the qualitative approach in the form of case studies, using the interview technique and document analysis to obtain data. The findings showed the main activities inculcated in the learning of the Quran were reading and writing skills. These activities were carried out individually and in groups based on the different characteristics of the deaf students. Therefore, teachers should be aware of students’ ability levels and the different characteristics of the students’ hearing impairments such as mild, severe, and profoundly deaf so that the planned learning activities could be conducted smoothly during the teaching and learning sessions.

The program belongs to the correctional and developmental direction. In this particular version, the program is aimed at ensuring the spiritual and moral development of hearing-impaired and late-deaf students at the stage of primary general education using digital educational resources. One of the most important principles in teaching children with hearing impairments is the principle of clarity and dosed educational material. First of all, it involves the construction of the educational process based on specific objects, images, actions and small texts that are directly perceived by them. The motivational moment in training is no less important. It is important to give the child not a name for this or that concept, but to form an understanding of the information received and teach how to use the knowledge gained in everyday activities. Thus, all the functions of the learning process for hearing impaired children can be successfully implemented only if they rely on scientific data on the characteristics of the mental development of deaf students and create conditions for purposeful work to ensure this development. It should be borne in mind that the additional (correctional) goals of education for the hearing impaired and the specificity of their cognitive activity (perception, speech, thinking) determine a number of distinctive features that characterize the learning process. This program is the most accessible for use in working with hearing impaired children, as it is based on visual con-tact, which allows you to convey information to hearing impaired children in a more accessible form, in the upbringing of the spiritual and moral qualities of their personality, which helps to improve the listening comprehension of short texts.
