Abstract:

Objective To investigate the employment expectation of middle school students with hearing impairment and the related factors.
Methods From November to December, 2021, 312 students with hearing impairment (aged 14 to 25) from ten special education schools in Gansu, Shandong, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangsu and Xinjiang were investigated with Employment Expectation Questionnaire, and analyzed in the dimensions of treatment, matching, reputation and normativity.
Results A total of 312 questionaires were returned, and 278 were valid. The levels of employment expectation were generally at the upper average for the students, and was structurally different, with the highest score in matching and lowest in reputation (F = 31.564, P < 0.001). The normativity of employment expectation was higher in high school students than in junior high school students (t = -2.096, P = 0.037); and it was the highest in students with cochlear implants, and the least in students without any assistive devices (F = 3.271, P = 0.039). The total scores, and the scores of matching and reputation were the highest in students feeling "not difficult" for employment, and the least for those feeling "difficult" for employment (F > 4.131, P < 0.05).
Conclusion Vocational education should be carried out according to the development levels and structures of their employment expectation, and considering the impact of age and employment situation cognition on employment expectation.
