Description¶
The article develops a multi-level theoretical framework in which deaf ontologies, axiologies, and epistemologies inform pedagogy and curriculum through three components of deaf aesthetics. Ocularcentrism affirms learning through vision, interactivity emphasizes moral orientation toward mutual understanding, and multimodality names visual-gestural-tactile pedagogies. The framework organizes the study's coding of story drama sessions: "a multi-level theoretical framework includes deaf ontologies, axiologies, epistemologies, and components of deaf aesthetics".
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- A deaf-led instructional team whose ontological, axiological, and epistemological commitments can be observed in pedagogy
Constraints¶
- Developed for story dramas adapted for deaf students in bimodal bilingual settings
Target Learners¶
- deaf preschool children in bimodal bilingual programs
Learning Goals¶
- language development
- concept development
- comprehension of stories
Claims¶
- A deaf-led team delivered story dramas with a strongly ocularcentric, multimodal, and interactive approach that differed from the training model developed for non-deaf children [+W]
- Ocularcentric strategies dominated the deaf-led team's teaching codes, followed by multimodal and interactive strategies [+W]
