There is little research on effective educational experiences for deaf and hard‐of‐hearing (d/hh) children in Jamaica. Using a formative and design experiment framework, in this project we explored the potential efficacy of an intensive literacy camp that provided professional development for d/hh adults working in classrooms with d/hh children, and provided literacy instruction for elementary‐age campers. We found that the children improved in all tested areas, and observations of d/hh adults provided evidence that with minimal training they were able to implement important facets of literacy instruction with the campers. Further research on these types of experiences and their potential for lasting impact after the camp is necessary.

营地的扫盲发展：利用语言模型

在牙买加，关于聋人和听力障碍（d / hh）儿童的有效教育经验的研究很少。在本项目中，我们使用形成性和设计性的实验框架，探索了密集扫盲营的潜在功效，该营为有d / hh儿童的教室里工作的d / hh成人提供了专业发展，并为基本年龄的营员提供了扫盲指导。我们发现儿童在所有测试区域均得到改善，对d / hh成人的观察提供了证据，表明他们只需进行最少的培训就能对营员实施重要的扫盲教学方面。有必要进一步研究这些类型的经历及其对营后产生持久影响的潜力。
