Qualitative research data from interviews with 20 teachers were analysed using content analysis methodology. The results pinpoint a collection of proposed curriculum components (i.e. a general framework and outcomes document; textbooks for children, including on sign language; textbooks for teachers; and attached learning resources). Additionally, the results outline a set of characteristics of, and specifications for, a curriculum for children with hearing impairments related to content and formatting. For a curriculum for children with HIs, this study found that teachers did not rely on a single textbook but rather suggested a suite of resources. Participants also indicated the importance of improving a special outcomes document for children with HIs. Furthermore, the results pinpointed a set of characteristics related to content and formatting for a specialized curriculum. These characteristics are mainly: using functional subjects and skills, arranging letters by simplicity, exploiting students' strengths by using methods such as visual stimuli, and using technology. The data support the importance of developing targeted curricula that include specialized domains, such as auditory training, breathing practices, speech training, sign language, and finger-spelling. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
