ABSTRACT

This study drew following three main conclusions through discussing scholastic history of education for the hearing impaired from the 1980s to the middle of the 1990s in Korea. First, “Korean sign language dictionary” (1982) was compiled for the first time in writing area, and it can be given by a main outcome that the “Handbook of the hearing impairment”(1992) was published encompassing medical care, education, and welfare by Korean Society for the Hearing Impaired in an early stage in 1990s. Translated books such as “Total communication”(1984) are introduced, and it is worth paying attention to TC approach applied formally by national standard of curriculum(1989). Second, the study capacity of the individual was improved by continuously publishing doctoral dissertation in the area of education for the hearing impairment. Also the speciality of this field has begun to be placed surely by a university and a graduate school. Finally, when seeing academic tendency of education research for the hearing impairment in this time, most of researchers showed intensive interest to improving communication skills for children with hearing impairment, whereas subject matter which is an essential task in education was neglected excessively. Also, in methodology of research, researchers depended more on a descriptive analysis and a quantitative technique, but longitudinal and qualitative study was relatively weak.
