Research in Deaf Education Contexts, Challenges, and Considerations

Edited by Stephanie W. Cawthon and Carrie Lou Garberoglio, Research in Deaf Education: Contexts, Challenges, and Considerations is a showcase of insight and experience from a seasoned group of researchers across the field of deaf education.

Research in Deaf Education begins with foundational chapters in research design, history, researcher positionality, community engagement, and ethics to ground the reader within the context of research in the field. Here, the reader will be motivated to consider significant contemporary issues within deaf education, including the relevance of theoretical frameworks and the responsibility of deaf researchers in the design and implementation of research in the field.

As the volume progresses, contributing authors explore scientific research methodologies such as survey design, single case design, intervention design, secondary data analysis, and action research at large. In doing so, these chapters provide solid examples as to how the issues raised in the earlier groundwork of the book play out in diverse orientations within deaf education, including both quantitative and qualitative research approaches.

Designed to help guide researchers from the germ of their idea through seeing their work publish, Research in Deaf Education offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the critical issues behind the decisions that go into this rigorous and important research for the community at hand.

Stephanie W. Cawthon is Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin and the Director of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Institute at the Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk. Her research focuses on issues that relate to improving access and equity for deaf students, particularly in the areas of assessment and evidence-based practices.

Carrie Lou Garberoglio is an educational researcher affiliated with the Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research examines deaf individuals' psychological processes in a variety of contexts: online learning, language learning, computer-mediated communication, and transition from secondary to post-secondary settings.
