Abstract

The presence of deaf individuals in higher educational settings presents challenges attributable to their hearing impairment. This study aims to explore the level of acceptance that hearing university students have towards their deaf classmates. A total of 79 hearing university students participated in completing a questionnaire comprising 19 items, rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree). The data underwent analysis using non-parametric statistical methods (Spearman Correlation coefficient) and multiple regression analysis. Results revealed a significant correlation between class participation and prior interactions with deaf individuals and the acceptance levels of hearing university students towards their deaf classmates. Specifically, those who had prior experiences with deaf individuals exhibited a higher level of acceptance in the higher educational settings. The findings suggest that exposure and interaction with deaf individuals positively influence acceptance among hearing university students. As students gain more experience in engaging with deaf individuals, their acceptance of this community increases.
