Effects of Inclusive Education on the Linguistic Development of Deaf Students

Abstract

This study explores the impact of inclusive education on the language development of deaf students. Inclusive education refers to the practice of integrating students with diverse abilities into mainstream educational settings. Understanding how inclusive education affects the language skills of deaf students is crucial for developing effective educational policies and practices that promote their linguistic growth and overall academic success. Quantitative data from the language assessments is analyzed using statistical methods, such as t-tests or analysis of variance (ANOVA), to compare the language development outcomes between the two groups. Qualitative data obtained from interviews and surveys is thematically analyzed to identify recurring themes and patterns related to inclusive education and language development.
