Profiling the deaf high school student who is a problem in the classroom
Abstract:
The discipline referral forms and available school records of five residential schools for the deaf were surveyed. Students were categorized as being never referred, periodically referred, and chronically referred. The student characteristics of age, sex, degree of hearing loss, and reading ability were used to predict membership in a frequency of referral category through a log-linear analysis statistic. A conceptual model was built and tested statistically which showed that the most important factor was reading ability followed by hearing loss, age, and sex of the student. The "typical problem" student would be a younger male who was a poorer reader and had a less severe hearing loss.
