ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
The present study describes how deaf and hard-of-hearing (d/hh) children who primarily use listening/spoken English (oral d/hh) solve one-step arithmetic story problems. Past research examined the story problem-solving of hearing children (Carpenter et al., 2015) and d/hh children who used age-appropriate American Sign Language (signing d/hh; Ansell & Pagliaro, 2006; Pagliaro & Ansell, 2012). The present study, using descriptive and statistical analyses, examined overall findings regarding oral d/hh children's story problem-solving, compared findings between oral d/hh children with age-appropriate and below-age-appropriate spoken English comprehension, and considered results concerning past research from general and deaf education. Overall, the oral d/hh children used the same types of strategies as both hearing and signing d/hh children, but oral d/hh children's pattern of relative story problem difficulty was more similar to their signing d/hh peers than their hearing peers. Finally, this study found almost no significant differences between the one-step arithmetic story problem-solving of oral d/hh children with age-apporpriate spoken English comprehension and with below-age-appropriate spoken English comprehension. The study concludes with limitations, implications for the classroom, and recommendations for future research.
