ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to analyze attitudes of nondisabled students from integrated classes toward integration with hearing-impaired students and examine variables which have influence on the formation of positive attitudes.The subject of this study was composed of 63 sixth graders from two classes and 25 fifth graders from one class, a total of 88 students who attend elementary school where hearing-impaired students are integrated with nondisabled students. This study adapted ISDHH(the Inclusion of Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Inventory) of Hsin-Ling Hung(2005) to use. This test was conducted in February when a school year is finished. The inventory consisted of four domains: inclusion, contact, closeness and class standard. The result of this study showed that difference by groups existed in attitudes of nondisabled students who experienced integration with hearing-impaired students toward the integration and that the group with higher frequency of contact had positive attitudes toward the integration. However, difference between sex did not seen in attitudes toward the integration.
