Goal fulfilment in school for the deaf and hearing impaired - batod

Of the 2,672 guardians of pupils born1991‐1999, 66% sent in details to SCB of wheretheir child goes to school (see table 3). Thismeans that more questionnaires were thereaftersent out to parents than to the schools.In the spring of 2007, the SPM, the NationalAgency for Education and the SIT drew upone questionnaire for parents and one for (the)schools, which was answered by the pupils’teacher. The basis for the questions was theNational Agency for Education’s nationalassessment – NU (Skolverket 2004a), SIT’sreport dated 2007 (Coniavitis Gellerstedt2007a) as well as experience from other studies(Bergkvist 2001; Tvingstedt & Preisler 2006).The purpose of the questionnaires was to enableus to understand and analyse the pupils’ goalfulfilment. The Swedish National Association forDeaf, Hearing Impaired and Language ImpairedChildren’s (DHB’s) had recently reported onthe shortcomings in the adaptation of premisesfor deaf and hearing impaired children, so wealso wanted to acquire a basis for analysingthe accessibility of the learning environment(Sjöström 2007).In the autumn of 2007, SCB thus sent out2,630 parent questionnaires and 1,770 schoolquestionnaires (see table 5, row 15, table 6,row 23 and figure 1). Of these, 1,841 parentquestionnaires and 1,341 school questionnaireswere received back. Pupils who had startedupper secondary were included in the responsesreceived.
