Education in general, and education for deaf learners in
particular, has gone through significant changes over the past
three decades. And change certainly will be the buzzword in the
foreseeable future. The rapid growth of information and
communication technology as well as progress in educational,
psychological, and allied research fields have many scholars
questioning aspects of traditional school concepts. For example,
should the classroom be "flipped" so that students receive
instruction online at home and do "homework" in school? At the same
time, inclusive education has changed the traditional landscape of
special education and thus of deaf education in many if not all
countries, and yet deaf children continued to lag significantly
behind hearing peers in academic achievement. As a consequence of
technological innovations (e.g., digital hearing aids and early
bilateral cochlear implants), the needs of many deaf learners have
changed considerably. Parents and professionals, however, are just
now coming to recognize that there are cognitive, experiential, and
social-emotional differences between deaf and hearing students
likely to affect academic outcomes. Understanding such differences
and determining ways in which to accommodate them through global
cooperation must become a top priority in educating deaf learners.
Through the participation of an international, interdisciplinary
set of scholars, Educating Deaf Learners takes a broader view of
learning and academic achievement than any previous work,
considering the whole child. In adopting this broad perspective,
the authors capture the complexities and commonalities in the
social, emotional, cognitive, and linguistic mosaic of which the
deaf child is a part. It is only through such a holistic
consideration that we can understand their academic potential.
