Assistive Courseware for Hearing Impaired Learners in Malaysia

Abstract

This paper reports a research on Hearing Impaired (HI) learners in Malaysia which focuses on beginner level. This research has been carried out with intention to solve problem faced by parents of HI children in teaching their children to know the six basic sounds which is known as Ling-6 Sound. The HI learners were assisted by speciallydeveloped electronic-learning application or known as Assistive Courseware (AC) in their teaching and learning process. The AC utilizes their mother tongue language. The objectives of the study include 1) To identify the characteristic of AC for HI learners, 2) To design the storyboard of AC for HI learners, and 3) To design the interface of AC for HI learners. This study adapts the Iterative Triangulation Methodology, and is integrated with the IntView Methodology. The storyboard of the prototype is outlined next. The findings of this paper highlight the prototype of the AC labelled with certain characteristics that has been identified and the result is based on interview with parents. The final part concludes this paper.

A Critical Analysis of Completed Abandoned Construction Projects in Ghana

“…: Amoah-Abban, 2017: Mac-Berango, 2017:Ariffin et al, 2018: Nwanekezie and Nwangunia, 2019).However, providing accommodation and hideouts for criminals with a mean value of 3.84 were ranked 3 rd and overall 6 th position.The following researchers have confirmed the above results(Abdul and Omran, 2011: Olulusi and Otunola, 2012: Amoah-Abban, 2017: Ariffin et al, 2018: Nwanekezie and Nwangunia, 2019 in their various studies. The owner and the populace have a mean value of 3.68 with a ranking of 4 th position.…”

“…Previous researchers like (Efemudu, 2010: Ihauh and Benebo, 2014: Abdul Rahman et al, 2016: Amoah-Abban, 2017: Ariffin et al, 2018: Nwanekezie and Nwangunia, 2019 have confirmed these results in their various studies that loss of total income receivable from the real property was critical impact factor of project abandonment. A decrease in revenue accruable to the state as an impact of completed project abandonment has been identified in the previous studies conducted by (Abdul and Omran, 2011: Ihauh and Benebo, 2014: and Damoah, 2015. Waste of material and human resources with a mean score value of 3.71 has an impact on the economic condition of the country with a rank of 6 th and an overall position of 14 th .…”

“…Demotivation of investment with a mean score of 3.67 was in the 7 th and 16 th overall position, while loss of national economy with a mean score of 3.65 obtained 8 th on the ranking and 17 th on the overall ranking. (Abdul and Omran, 2011: Ayodele and Alabi, 2011: Olusegun and Michael, 2011: Damoah, 2015: Nwanekezie and Nwangunia, 2019 have agreed with this fact. In the final analysis, the impact of completed project abandonment that it demotivates investment was ranked sixteenth by all respondents in the ranking list.…”

Developing Interactive Digital Mathematics Book with Multi Representation Approach for Deaf Students

“…First, previous studies on the development of ICT-based learning resources for deaf students namely, (1) [22] developed e-learning design or courseware based on multiple intelligence theory for learning sign language for beginners, (2) [23] developed sign language courseware for 7-8 years old deaf students. The results found that courseware can help teachers, students, and parents in teaching and learning sign language.…”

Development of interactive mathematics learning media on statistics topic for hearing-impaired student

“…A. (2018) (Aziz et al, 2011;Saud & Nasruddin, 2016;Dawis, 2013;Gunawan & Salim, 2013). Several other researchers have also tried to develop interactive media for subjects such as (1) Effendi (2016) who has developed interactive learning media for science learning, and (2) Marzal (2014) who has developed interactive media for English lessons.…”
