(2013). <i>Exploring learner-centeredness within an American Sign Language/English interpreter training program</i> (Unpublished dissertation). Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/4530The focus of this single-case study was to explore learner-centeredness for faculty members who teach in an ASL/English interpreter-training program. The results of this study highlight critical domains that distinguish learner-centered instruction from the more traditional, teacher-centered paradigm. In addition, this study identifies characteristics of Deaf culture and a visual language like American Sign Language that may foster learner-centered behaviors. Finally, this study borrows from teacher theory to help explain how faculty members may struggle with defining learner-centered teaching while excelling at describing learner-centered behaviors.Text260 pages1 file (.pdf)enASLAmerican sign language interpreterInterpreter trainingInterpreter educationAdult educationLearner-centeredAmerican Sign Language--Study and teachingInterpreters for the deaf--Training of--United StatesSign language--Study and teaching--United StatesDeaf--Means of communication--United StatesEducation, Higher--United States--EvaluationTeachers--Training of--ResearchDissertation
