This paper examines the integration of instruction about quality health resources on the Internet into the health curriculum of a specialized high school for students with hearing disabilities.
SETTING/PARTICIPANTS/RESOURCES: The Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) at the University of Pittsburgh has formed a partnership with the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf (WPSD).
This project was partially funded through a subcontract with the National Library of Medicine. As one component of its Health Information for the Public project, HSLS formed a partnership with the WPSD. This partnership allowed for a librarian to provide instruction to health education and learning center teachers and students at WPSD about health resources on the Internet. This paper describes the planning process, curriculum development, and challenges encountered. These challenges include student knowledge of English as a second language, the need for a sign language interpreter, students' third-to-fourth-grade reading levels, and the need for appropriate visual presentations to accompany the audio counterpart.
RESULTS/OUTCOME: The partnership formed between HSLS and WPSD improved deaf high school students' ability to locate quality health information on the Internet.
A pre-class survey and post-class survey were used to determine the impact of the instruction.
本文探讨如何将互联网上优质健康资源的相关教学融入一所专门为听障学生设立的高中的健康课程中。
背景/参与者/资源：匹兹堡大学健康科学图书馆系统（HSLS）与西宾夕法尼亚聋人学校（WPSD）建立了合作关系。
该项目部分资金来自与国立医学图书馆的分包合同。作为其“面向公众的健康信息”项目的一个组成部分，HSLS与WPSD建立了合作关系。这种合作使一名图书馆员能够向WPSD的健康教育与学习中心的教师和学生提供有关互联网上健康资源的教学。本文描述了规划过程、课程开发以及所遇到的挑战。这些挑战包括学生作为第二语言的英语知识、对手语翻译的需求、学生三到四年级的阅读水平，以及对与音频内容配套的适当视觉展示的需求。
结果/成果：HSLS与WPSD之间建立的合作关系提高了聋人高中生在互联网上查找优质健康信息的能力。
通过课前调查和课后调查来确定教学的影响。
