Extract

To date there is a lack of research literature which indicates how environmental education is best implemented for people with a hearing loss and the contributions environmental education can make to their education and personal development. This research study focuses on environmental education for deaf students, taking into account low self-concept experienced by deaf individuals.

It should be noted that the terms ‘deaf’ and/or ‘hearing-impaired’ are used by authors for their descriptions of people with a hearing loss. These terms may be distinguished as follows:

The generic term hearing impairment can be used to define a hearing loss at any level and the term deaf, on the other hand, is restricted to hearing loss that renders reception of speech nonfunctional (Simeonsson 1986, p. 196).
