IDE - Interpreter mediated Deaf Education at Primary Schools

Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership Dec. 24 - 27

Inclusion is currently one of the greatest social and educational challenges (Leonhardt, 2018). Educational institutions are developing new concepts to implement the requirements of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD, UN, 2008), which are once again emphasised as a future task in the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" (UNESCO, 2016). These can be summarised under the four keywords "availability, accessibility, adaptability, acceptability" (Steinmetz, Wrase, Helbig & Döttinger, 2021). However, it is questionable to what extent the educational environments offered are adapted to all learners and how participatory they actually are.

Currently, more and more parents of deaf children are demanding inclusive education (Kaul, 2018). Interpreters for German Sign Language (DGS) and German are employed to enable access to spoken communication and participation in the classroom. As the number of students in inclusive education with interpreters is rapidly increasing, research is urgently needed to ensure participation opportunities and equivalence of educational provision, as well as effective and transparent collaboration between teachers and interpreters. To meet this research gap and produce information material for teachers, interpreters and children, the project IDE was designed. The successful project application was supported at the University of Education Freiburg, Germany, by Michelle Laux (academic staff).
