- Summary:
-
Because there is little research evidence about the listening performance of blind children, a study was designed (in Australia) to provide information on their listening habits as compared with those of sighted children. Forty-four students (22 of them blind) listened in a classroom to tape-recorded material from two tests, Forms X and Y of the Australian Council for Educational Research Listening Test L, designed to distinguish between items requiring receptive and reflective listening skills. Results showed that: (1) for total listening performance blind children were significantly superior; (2) for receptive or reflective listening there was no significant difference between sighted and blind children; (3) on receptive listening tasks both groups showed significant improvement on a second testing; (4) on reflective listening tasks both groups showed deterioration after a period of time; and (5) for receptive listening there was a significant distinction between sightedness and test-time, as well as sightedness, test-time and position in the classroom.
