Mathematics achievement of 36 students in mainstreamed mathematics classes was compared with 44 students in self-contained classes. Analysis showed that integrated students performed significantly better than self-contained Ss. A model is proposed to account for differences: higher expectations, exposure to greater quantities of demanding…

This study sought to determine effective instructional practices for hearing-impaired students in mainstreamed and special classes. It involved a survey of 63 secondary mathematics teachers (with an 87% response rate), teacher logs of assignments and class work, and live observations.

The education process of hearing-impaired students in 18 public secondary mathematics classrooms was examined in order to account for achievement and social adjustment differences between 11 mainstreamed and 7 self-contained classrooms. The classrooms were compared on the following dimensions: (1) social interactions among students, (2) teacher…
