FAMILY AS AN INDICATOR OF ACHIEVEMENT OF DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING STUDENTS

The formation of an educated and a successful personality depends on a number of pedagogical, sociological and social factors. In the process of socialization and education, both contemporary school system and family share responsibility and make an important role in the success, not only of individuals, but of society as a whole. The influence of the family environment on achievement can be seen from different aspects. The aim of the research was to examine the connection between achievement of deaf and hard-of-hearing students and factors of the family environment seen through their socioeconomic status. The survey sample comprised 59 parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children attending the school for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. In the process of relevant literature research and determining the theoretical facts relevant for the research problem, the method of theoretical analysis and synthesis was used. In relation to research techniques, survey and content analysis were used. Family questionnaire was used to analyze the link between the socioeconomic status of families and achievement of deaf and hard-of-hearing students. The results have shown that there was no correlation between the socioeconomic status of the families and the school achievements of deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

The aim of the research is to address the challenges that may be a constraint on economic growth and development. In the research, we used the relevant literature and acts that were in front of the delegates at the National Assembly of Republic of Srpska. The research question is: "What are the main characteristics of the Republic of Srpska's debt?" In line with this, the methods employed in this paper are the analysis and synthesis of previous researchs, theoretical findings and publicly accessible documents pertaining to the debt of Republic of Srpska, and an overview of the case studies. The contribution of the paper is reflected in the explained wideness and the possibilities of using different sources of money, and the limits on which the debts can be used in order to achieve sustainability tasks. We have concluded that this year, the Republic of Srpska bill has reached the largest amount of debt – KM 858 million (755 million principal and 103 million interest). In line with the presented evidence, priority should be given to projects that would be financed by advantageous credit arrangements and to rationalize public spending. Despite the usual opinion, we have proven that the debt of the Republic of Srpska is sustainable - the average interest rate is lower than the GDP growth rate and that, although unpopular, the currency board system corresponds to the position of Republic of Srpska. However, we have pointed out the danger of stereotype that the public debt of less than 60% necessarily indicates that the country is in a good position.

This study analyses the process of adopting of the sign language with deaf and hard of hearing preschool children in the context of the result of linguistic and psycholinguistic research. The importance of the sign language is emphasized and its historical development is analyzed. It is pointed to the significance of the critical period for the adoption and the learning of the sign and spoken language with deaf and hard of hearing preschool children. The sign language is natural and primary linguistic expression of deaf children. Deaf and hard of hearing children are exposed to the sign and spoken language, they have better understanding and linguistic production than the children who are only exposed to the spoken language. Bilingualism involves the knowledge and the regular use of the sign language, which is used by the deaf community, and of the spoken language, which is used by the hearing majority. Children at the preschool age should be enabled to continue to adopt the language they started to adopt within the family (the sign language or the spoken language). Children will adopt the best both linguistic modalities through the interaction with other fluent speakers (the adults and children).

The evaluation of the educational system is performed through the prism of the relationship between the individual person and society, taking into account social and economic, political, cultural, socio-economic, family tendencies and directions of development. Therefore, the analysis of the influence of social, economic, welfare, psychological and school factors is necessary in order to identify the positive, but also the negative influences of the factors and thus prevents the poor academic results of the deaf and hard of hearing students. The research problem is aimed at a wider understanding of the factors of academic achievement or failure of the deaf and hard of hearing students in order to improve the quality of their education and upbringing of deaf and hard of hearing students in schools for the deaf and hard of hearing, but also in the field of inclusive education. This paper presents a part of the research results related to the correlation between the indicators of the wider social context and the academic performance of the deaf and hard hearing students. The sample consisted of 59 respondents attending schools for the deaf and hard of hearing students in the Republic of Serbia. For this research, the method of theoretical analysis and synthesis was used in the study of the relevant literature and the determination of theoretical facts important for the research problem, and the survey and content analysis were used as the research techniques. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in academic achievement in relation to the type of environment in which the students are living, or in relation to the presence of the cultural institutions in the environment. There is a difference in the academic achievements of the deaf and hard of hearing students in whose environment there are or there are no active organizations for the deaf and hard of hearing, which represents important data in order to create strategies to support the deaf and hard of hearing students.
