Sammanfattning
The aim of this study is to explore teachers’ views on school participation
of students with hearing loss (HL) and to examine the association between
students’ school participation and factors related to the framework of the
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for
Children and Youth (ICF-CY). A total of 167 teachers participated in the
study. Structural equation modelling was performed to explore
relationships among the factors. The teachers considered the students
to be socially included and to participate academically almost at the
same level as their typical classmates. A multifaceted interaction
between ICF-CY factors and students’ participation in academic activities
was found. Personal factors such as ‘academic skills and motivation’
explained most of the variance in academic participation, and were also
associated with activity and environmental factors. Efforts to understand
their classmates directly and indirectly associated with academic
participation. Students with mild and severe HL appeared to have same
level of participation rate. The parents’ involvement in their children’s
schooling and the use of amplification systems were related to
academic participation but not to social participation. A few factors
associated with social participation; in those cases, having other
disabilities in addition to HL explained most of the variance.
