  • Title: Critical teaching incidents. Recollections of deaf college students.
    Author: Lang HG, Dowaliby FJ, Anderson HP.
    Journal: Am Ann Deaf; 1994 Mar; 139(2):119-27. PubMed ID: 8037077.
    Abstract:
    In interviews with 56 deaf college students, we collected accounts of 839 "critical incidents" describing effective and ineffective teaching. From those incidents, 33 specific teaching characteristics were derived and were analyzed in relation to teacher, student, and course variables. Our primary goal was to identify the teaching characteristics underlying deaf students' recollections about their classroom learning experiences. The most frequently mentioned characteristics are similar to those found in studies of hearing college students, particularly within the domain of Teacher Affect. The teacher's ability to communicate clearly in sign language, however, was not only a characteristic unique to deaf college students but also the most frequently occurring characteristic of effective teaching in this study.
