Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q1 i? Low expectations of what DHH students know and can do are a systemic barrier to their academic success. → Stephanie Cawthon 2022

Evidence¶

Stephanie Cawthon 2022¶

Stephanie Cawthon, Johny Daniel, North Cooc, Ana Vielma. (2022). Longitudinal models of reading and mathematics achievement in deaf and hard of hearing students. The Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education. https://doi.org/10.1093/deafed/enac033

q1 · i? · associational · r?

The article's abstract asserts, without printed data or statistics in the available text, that DHH students "often experience systemic barriers to academic success, especially low expectations of what they know and can do." This is the authors' framing statement motivating the longitudinal analysis.

"Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students often experience systemic barriers to academic success, especially low expectations of what they know and can do."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Access — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Math achievement of BVI students lags sighted peers and the gap widens with age — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
DHH students in grades 2–8 continue to build reading and mathematics skills and do not necessarily plateau in the elementary grades — related
Half of reported developmental barriers stem from academic-related challenges (50.39%) — related
Teachers who perceive the challenges and barriers of using AI as high (cost) may be less motivated to use it (theoretical argument). — related
Learners invest more effort in tasks they perceive as interesting, personally important, or useful to their future goals. — related
Students who are deaf or hard of hearing continue to grow and acquire literacy skills well into middle school when tracked across grades 2-8 — related
Hearing-impaired students learn library skills quickly via the \"showand do\" demonstration method and are often misjudged as unready — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
New research tracked academic growth trajectories of students who are deaf or hard of hearing across grades 2-8 — related
