| Abstract: | The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between inclusive and integrative learning, possible means for achieving inclusive teaching-learning environments, and factors facilitating the transition to tertiary education for deaf and hearing-impaired students. The current paper discusses issues of inclusive schooling and learning environments, based on a survey and subsequent interviews with deaf and hearing-impaired persons in Switzerland. Questions addressed are (i) the extent to which integration classes actually promote and foster inclusive education, (ii) how bimodal-bilingual communication (combined sign and spoken languages) can be carried out in educational settings and (iii) which forms of knowledge transfer, perception of subject materials, and socializing within their peer group of students are crucial to (intercultural) learning processes including deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Our project so far has gained insights into beneficiary educational paths and experiences, and barriers that may prevent the target groups' successful studies and graduation at higher education institutions. It aims at including deaf and hard-of-hearing scholars and peers, in order to detect good practice experiences and develop a model of inclusive and barrier-free education by means of appropriate communicative and teaching forms as well as technical instruments. Our project on “Access to Barrier-free education on the tertiary level for deaf and hearing-impaired individuals in Switzerland” is part of the ZHAW and Geneva University's joint project "Proposal And Implementation Of A Swiss Centre For Barrier-Free Communication".1 It focuses on fostering cooperation on the part of all participants in the education process and on inclusive and barrier-free communication in order to create supportive environments in higher education. |
