(2015-05) Isaiah, O. O.; Azanor, F. O.
This study examined the influence of classroom climate on socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment in Ibadan, Oyo state in Nigeria, Descriptive survey research design of correlational type was used to carry out the study. Sample consisted of 231 students with hearing impairment using purposive sampling technique, from three schools in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. Two standardized instruments were used to collect data - My Class Inventory ( r=0.78) and Students Socio-emotional well-being Scale (r=0.82). Three research questions were answered and data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression analysis. The results indicated that student- students interactions (r=0.62, p<0.05) and communication (r=0.54, p<0.05) significantly correlated with socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment. Student- teacher interactions and discipline in the classroom did not correlated with socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment. However, students-teacher interactions, student-student, interaction communication and discipline in the classroom predicted socio-emotional well-being of students with hearing impairment F(4, 208)= 1013.66) P< 0.05, while the relative contributions of independent variables to the dependent variable are as follows: students-students- interaction (β = 0357), communication (β =0.218), discipline in the classroom (β=0.357) and student-teacher interaction (β =0.031) respectively. It is therefore recommended that teachers should ensure good classroom climate in order to boost the socio-emotional development of students with hearing impairment.

(Journal of the Department of Special Education, University of Ibadan, 2013-07) Isaiah, O. O.; Azanor, F. O.
The study examined parental factors as determinants of social inclusion of students with hearing impairment in Oyo State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design of the correlational type was adopted for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60parents of students with hearing impairment in Ibadan. One research instrument was used for data collection: parental factors and social inclusion questionnaire (r=0.83). Three research questions were generated and answered in the study. Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression analysis. The study found that parents' marital status (r=0.782, <0.05), parenting style (r=0.539, <0.05) and socio-economic status (r=0.865, <0.05) correlated with social inclusion of students with hearing impairment. The findings of the study also showed that parents' marital status, parent socio- economic status and parenting style significantly predicted social inclusion of students with hearing impairment (F- ratio of 64.045p<0.05.). The relative contributions of the independent variables to the dependent variable are as follows: parent socio-economic status (β=0.851), parent marital status (β =0.184), parenting style (β =0.158) respectively. It was therefore, recommended that parents should play key roles in ensuring the inclusion of their children with hearing impairment into the mainstream of the society.
