INTRODUCTION

The inclusion of students with hearing loss in the school system is assured by the public power in Brazil through official documents, among them the Law of Guidelines and Foundations of National Education 9.394/96, promulgated in 1996( 11. Brasil. Lei nº 9.394. Regulamenta as diretrizes e bases da educação nacional. Brasília. Diário Oficial da União de 20/12/1996. ) as well as decree 5.296 of December 02, 2004( 22. Brasil. Decreto nº 5.296, de 2 de dezembro de 2004. Regulamenta a lei nº 10.048, de 8 de novembro de 2000, que dá prioridade de atendimento às pessoas que especifica e estabelece normas gerais e critérios básicos para a promoção da acessibilidade das pessoas portadoras de deficiência ou com mobilidade reduzida [cited 2014 Jun 15]. Disponível em: http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2004-2006/2004/decreto/d5296.htm
http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_at...
). The latter regulates law number 10.048, of November 08, 2000, which gives priority of service to disabled individuals by specifying and establishing general rules and basic criteria to promote accessibility.

For individuals with hearing loss, assistive technology pertains to technical aid, that is, products, instruments, equipment or technology adapted, or especially projected to improve the functionality of disabled people, thus favoring personal, total, or assisted autonomy (law 5.296 of December 02, 2004)( 33. Brasil. Ministério da Educação. Educação inclusiva: a escola. v. 3. Brasília: MEC/SEESP; 2004. ).

In this context, systems of frequency modulation (FM) consist of two elements: a microphone/transmitter and a receptor. The microphone/transmitter, used by the speaker, captures sounds, decodes them into electrical signals, and then converts them into modulated frequency signals. This FM signal is then decoded by the receptor, used by the listener, and again transformed into acoustic energy. FM transmission provides a simple solution to reduce the distance between speaker and listener, and to consequentially decrease the masking effects of noises as well as of reverberation on speech signals( 44. Jacob RTS, Queiroz-Zattoni M. Sistemas de frequência modulada. In: Bevilacqua MC, Martinez MAN, Balen SA, Pupo AC, Reis ACMB, Frota S. Tratado de Audiologia. São Paulo: Santos; 2011. p. 727-41. ).

Personal FM systems, self-contained or open-field style, are considered the most important and essential educational tools developed for children with hearing loss, as they are the most effective way to improve the captured speech signals and to eliminate the effects of distance, noise, and reverberation, especially in the school environment( 55. Blasca WQ, Ferrari DV, Jacob RTS. Dispositivos eletrônicos aplicados à surdez: conceitos básicos In: Genaro KF, Lamônica DAC, Bevilacqua MC. O processo de comunicação: contribuição para a formação de professores na inclusão de indivíduos com necessidades educativas especiais. José dos Campos: Pulso Editorial; 2006. p. 197-213. ).

Ordinance 1.274, of June 25, 2013( 66. Brasil. Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Saúde. Portaria nº 1.274, de 25 de junho de 2013. Brasília: Ministério da Saúde; 2013. ), includes personal FMsystems in the table of Procedures, Medications, Orthotic and Prosthetic Devices, and Special Materials.

Through hearing aid devices, programs of early detection and prevention of hearing loss have enabled and made urgent the access to listening environments. The primary focus of a program of early hearing loss intervention is to provide support and encourage family members during the structuration of the child's communication process( 77. Carney AE, Moeller MP. Treatment efficacy: hearing loss in children. J Speech Lang Hear Res. 1998;41(1):61-84. , 88. Martin ST, Martin LG, Pedersen HF. A collaborative approach to fitting amplification. Audiology Online [serial online]; 2001 [cited 2008 Aug 28]. Available from: http://www.audiologyonline.com/articles/article_detail.asp?article_id=298
http://www.audiologyonline.com/articles/...
), including guidance about the need to use hearing aid devices, among them FM systems( 99. Lewis MS, Hutter M, Lilly DJ, Bourdette D, Saunders J, Fausti SA. Frequency-modulation (FM) technology as a method for improving speech perception in noise for individuals with multiple sclerosis. J Am Acad Audiol. 2006;17(8):605-16. ).

If a student is not able to hear the teacher's instructions at school, the entire educational process is affected( 1010. Flexer C. Rationale for the use of sound field systems in classrooms: the basics of teacher in-services. In: Crandel CC, Smaldino JJ, Flexer C. Sound Field Amplification: applications to speech perception and classroom acoustics. New York: Thompson Delmar Learning; 2005. p. 3-22. ). In this context, speech-language pathologists and audiologists can collaborate with action programs based on instruments of assessment that indicate environmental adaptations and provide the necessary guidance for teachers and children with hearing loss, as communication aid devices, such as FM systems, are part of the assistive technology to which teachers must have access so that students with hearing loss can receive information in an effective manner( 33. Brasil. Ministério da Educação. Educação inclusiva: a escola. v. 3. Brasília: MEC/SEESP; 2004. , 1111. Brasil. Ministério da Educação. Política Nacional de Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva. Brasília: MEC/SEESP; 2006. , 1212. Brasil. Ministério da Educação. Sala de Recursos Multifuncionais: espaços para o Atendimento Educacional Especializado. Brasília: MEC/SEESP; 2006. ).

Information pertaining to how students with hearing loss evaluate themselves in regard to their participation in regular classrooms can aid in the development of strategies in this aspect, by the students as well as by their teachers and classmates.

On the basis of the above considerations, in this study our purpose was to:

  • translate and adapt the Classroom Participation Questionnaire (CPQ) to Portuguese;

  • compare the participation of students with hearing loss in regular classrooms who used and who did not use FM systems.

METHODS

This study was carried out at the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Clinic of the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology of the School of Dentistry of Bauru at Universidade de São Paulo (FOB/USP). A total of 15 children and adolescents with hearing loss, aged between 7 and 18 years, agreed to participate. The individuals were users of personal sound amplifiers (PSA) adapted with an FM system (Table 1).

Table 1
Demographic distribution of the research participants

The children and adolescents were enrolled in elementary, middle, or high school, and their parents and/or legal guardians signed the informed consent form previously approved by the ethics committee (140/2010).

Instruments and procedures

Classroom Participation Questionnaire

The CPQ( 1313. Antia SD, Sabers DL, Stinson MS. Validity and reliability of the classroom participation questionnaire with deaf and hard of hearing students in public schools. J Deaf Stud Deaf Educ. 2007;12(2):158-70. ) (Appendix 1 Appendix 1. Classroom Participation Questionnaire ) is a subjective assessment tool that enables a situational analysis of the student's participation in the classroom. It is filled out by the student, who is instructed to use paper and pencil. The questionnaire contains 28 hearing-related situations, divided into four subscales, scored as follows: 1 (almost never), 2 (sometimes), 3 (usually), and 4 (almost always). A visual scale was offered to the students to indicate the score, as presented in Figure 1.

Figure 1
Visual scale of the questionnaire score

Following are the subscales contained in the questionnaire:

  1. Understanding teachers;

  2. Understanding students;

  3. Positive affect;

  4. Negative affect.

The subscales "Understanding teachers" and "Understanding students" are considered cognitive components, and "Positive affect" and "Negative affect" are considered affective components.

Of the total 28 items, we selected 16 items marked with an asterisk for the simplified version suggested by the author of the original questionnaire.

High scores are desirable, except for the scale of "Negative affect", in which the reverse score is expected in both versions.

Cultural adaptation

The translation and cultural adaptation of the CPQ followed the steps recommended( 1414. Guillemin F, Bombardier C, Beaton D. Cross-cultural adaptation of health-related quality of life measures: literature review and proposed guidelines. J Clin Epidemiol. 1994;46(12):1417-32.

15. Ferreira PEA, Cunha F, Onishi ET, Branco-Barreiro FCA, Ganança FF. Tinnitus handicap inventory: adaptação cultural para o português brasileiro. Pró-Fono R Atual Cient. 2005;13(3):303-10.
- 1616. Giusti E, Befi-Lopes DM. Tradução e adaptação transcultural de instrumentos estrangeiros para o Português Brasileiro (PB). Pró-Fono R Atual Cient. 2008;20(3):207-10. ), described in the following sections.

Translation of the questionnaire into Portuguese

The original instrument was given to two English translators and interpreters, fluent in this language, who did not know each other and had no knowledge of the questionnaire. The purpose was to elaborate, individually and in confidentiality, the first Portuguese version. This procedure aimed at generating two independent translations of the questionnaire.

Linguistic adaptation

The group of revisers comprised two speech-language pathologists (Brazilian individuals who knew the original instrument and were fluent in English) who analyzed the two resulting documents, reduced the differences found in the translations, and adapted the text to the Brazilian culture. Thus, a new inventory named "Questionário de participação em sala de aula" ("Class Participation Questionnaire") was obtained.

Revision of grammatical and idiomatic equivalence (back-translation)

For the revision of grammatical and idiomatic equivalence, a copy of the questionnaire was sent to two other translators who had the same linguistic and cultural characteristics of the translators used in the first stage. Without any knowledge of the original text, they produced the English counter part of the new version of the instrument. The same group of revisers evaluated the two resulting versions, comparing them to the original in English.

Cultural adaptation

In this stage, the purpose was to establish a cultural equivalence between the English and Portuguese versions of the questionnaire. Cultural equivalence is achieved when at least 80% of the population evaluated has no difficulties to comprehend the questions elaborated or the terms used.

Frequency Modulation System

After the translation, the questionnaire was applied by the researcher to the patients at the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Clinic who effectively used PSA or cochlear implant (CI;8 h or more per day) and FM systems (at school). The FM system in question was of the traditional personal type with a receptor attached to the PSA or CI, all manufactured by Phonak.

It is worth highlighting that the participants obtained the FM system with personal funds or through court-of-law requests, as this system was made available by the government through the ordinance of June 25, 2013. For this reason, it was not possible to obtain a larger number of participants who met the inclusion criteria.

Statistical Method

We used Wilcoxon's test to analyze the results obtained with and without the use of the FM system in the four subscales of the questionnaire, considering p<0.05 as statistically significant.

RESULTS

The translation of the CPQ (Appendix 1 Appendix 1. Classroom Participation Questionnaire ) resulted in the instrument "Questionário de participação em sala de aula" (Appendix 2 Appendix 2. Questionário de participação em sala de aula (Classroom Participation Questionnaire) ), with the same number of questions as in the original version.

Differences between the situations with and without FM were found in the four subscales (Tables 2 and 3), most markedly in the scale pertaining to "Understanding teachers," as visualized in Figure 2.

DISCUSSION

Thepurpose of the CPQwas to evaluate the participation of students with hearing loss in the classroom. Its application and effectiveness in evaluating this population has been demonstrated in previous studies( 1313. Antia SD, Sabers DL, Stinson MS. Validity and reliability of the classroom participation questionnaire with deaf and hard of hearing students in public schools. J Deaf Stud Deaf Educ. 2007;12(2):158-70. , 1717. Richardson JTE, Marschark M, Sarchet T, Sapere P. Deaf and hard-of-hearing students' experiences in mainstream and separate postsecondary education. J Deaf Stud Deaf Educ. 2010;15(4):358-82. , 1818. Hintermair M. Health-related quality of life and classroom participation of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in general schools. J Deaf Stud Deaf Educ. 2010;16(2):254-71. ), and it is recommended by the American Academy of Audiologyin the guide about procedures with remote microphone and assistive technology( 1919. American Academy of Audiology. Clinical practice guidelines: remote microphone hearing assistance technologies for children and youth from birth to 21 years. 2011. [cited 2013 Sep 02]. Available from: http://www.audiology.org/resources/documentlibrary/Documents/HAT_Guidelines_Supplement_A.pdf
http://www.audiology.org/resources/docum...
) for follow-ups of FM system fittings.

As the actual purpose of an evaluation process can only be achieved when adequate instruments and procedures are used( 1616. Giusti E, Befi-Lopes DM. Tradução e adaptação transcultural de instrumentos estrangeiros para o Português Brasileiro (PB). Pró-Fono R Atual Cient. 2008;20(3):207-10. ), efforts have been made in the national scenario to translate and adapt questionnaires that are widely used and recommended by international academia( 1515. Ferreira PEA, Cunha F, Onishi ET, Branco-Barreiro FCA, Ganança FF. Tinnitus handicap inventory: adaptação cultural para o português brasileiro. Pró-Fono R Atual Cient. 2005;13(3):303-10. , 2020. Jacob RT, Molina SV, Amorim RB, Bevilacqua MC, Lauris JR, Moret ALM. FM listening evaluation for children: adaptação para a língua portuguesa. Rev Bras Ed Esp. 2009;16(3):359-74.

- 2222. Mondelli MFCG, Magalhães FF, Lauris JR. Cultural adaptation of the SADL (Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life) questionnaire for Brazilian Portuguese. Bras J Otorhinolaryngol. 2011;77(5):563-72. ).The cultural adaptation of the CPQ was effective, as 100% of the sample did not present any difficulties to answer the instrument. Therefore, we suggest adding visual references to the answer sheet, such as, completely filled out circles for the option "almost always" and empty circles for "almost never," with the purpose of facilitating comprehension (Figure 1).

The effectiveness of the use of the FM systems by students who use PSA and CI promotes accessibility in schools, broadening communication conditions and the interaction between students and teachers, as observed in Table 3. The table shows the differences pertaining to the four subscales of the questionnaire, namely "Understanding teachers", "Understanding students", "Positive affect", and "Negative affect". We highlight that the results of the questions related to negative affect were concentrated in the option "almost never," and those related to understanding teachers were concentrated in the option "almost always" when FM was used (Table 2).

The authors of the "Project of Instruction about Hearing Disability and the use of FM Systems for professionals in the area of Education nationwide"( 2323. Bevilacqua MC, Souza DG, Moret ALM, Cruz AD, Pupo AC, Portugal AC, et al. Resultados do projeto piloto: uso de sistema fm na escolarização de estudantes com deficiência auditiva. In: Anais do 28º Encontro Internacional de Audiologia; 2013; Salvador. p. 128. ) also found in their results evident improvement of hearing accessibility with the use of FM systems. They pointedout benefits for children with hearing loss, especially when immediately responding to the teacher's voice without the need to rely on the help of classmates. This increases the students' autonomy while performing activities in the classroom.

It is worth highlighting that technology alone is not enough to guarantee accessibility to students with hearing loss. It is also extremely important that the teachers who work with this population know the potential and limitations of sound amplification resources( 2424. Delgado-Pinheiro EMC, Antonio FL, Libardi AL, Seno MP. Programa de acompanhamento fonoaudiológico de professores de alunos deficientes auditivos que utilizam a comunicação oral. Rev Distúrb Comum. 2009;21(1):67-77. ). The use of the Portuguese version of the CPQ can aid in this process, considering that the Technical Note number 055/2013of the Ministry of Education/Department of Continuous Education, Literacy, Diversity and Inclusion (MEC/SECADI)( 2525. Brasil. Ministério da Educação. Orientação à atuação dos Centros de AEE, na perspectiva da educação inclusiva. Brasília: MEC/SECADI/DPEE; 2013. ) attributes the monitoring and evaluation of the functionality and applicability of pedagogical and accessibility resources (such as FM systems) used by the students in regular classrooms to specialized educational assistance teachers.

Although children with hearing impairment have benefited from the inclusion in regular classrooms for years through using FM systems, the national literature shows scarce scientific investment that can aid this process in Brazil. This fact is probably justified by the fact that FM systems were not part of the accessibility devices made available by the Unified Health System. This reality changed with the publication of ordinance 1.274 of June 25, 2013. In this context, the contribution of this study stands out, as the ordinance does not explain the evaluation protocol of this technology, a fundamental aspect to select devices and fit individuals with FM systems in Hearing Health Services.

We recommend the application of this questionnaire in different regions of the country and age ranges not contemplated in this study.

CONCLUSION

The CPQ was translated, culturally adapted to the Brazilian population, and named "Questionário de participação em sala de aula" in the Portuguese version.

Overall, the students reported more confidence and participation in the classroom with the use of FM systems.

This questionnaire contributes to the elaboration of protocols to observe and monitor the participation of students with hearing loss who use FM systems in regular classrooms.
