| dc.description.abstract | This descriptive study assessed the challenges and opportunities faced by hearing-impaired students in an inclusive setting in Menelik II preparatory school. A review of related literature is conducted to meet the objective of the study. Hopefully, the study pinpoints the challenges faced and will attract the attention of the government, school community, policymakers, and other stakeholders related to teaching and learning, specially focus on hearing-impaired pupils. Regarding sample taking as the study is focused on one school; it is manageable to take the whole school. There are 52 participants in the study, namely 35 students hearing impaired, 12 teachers, 6 sign language interpreters, 2 principals, and 2 administrative staff. The systematic random sampling technique is applied to give an equal chance of representing the sample. Data gathering instruments applied for the study include questionnaires, structured interviews, and observations. The findings show that there are opportunities like having the chance to grow in an inclusive setting. However, some challenges outweigh than the opportunities that hinder the success of hearing-impaired students, which arise from the education system, the academic staff, the administrative staff, and sign language interpreters. To achieve the target and mitigate the problem the collaborative effort of the stakeholders is required. It is therefore important to help students with hearing impairment achieve the same academic destiny as their' counterparts who hear. Based on the above participants this research tried to work on to improve the existing problems and present the findings. | |
