청각장애 중〮고등학생의 미디어 이용과 교육 현황

Abstract

Purpose: In this study, media use and media education status of Deaf and Hard of Hearing(DHH) adolescents were analyzed, and the results of the study are as follows. method: To achieve the purpose of the study, questionnaire items were developed and a questionnaire survey was conducted through literature analysis and expert consultation. Results: First, the most used social media by DHH adolescents was SNS, followed by video platform, messenger service, internet portal, online cafe, online blog, and metaverse platform. The reason for using social media was not only for conversation/communication, but also for the purpose of obtaining various contents or information/news, so the reasons for using social media were more diverse than that of hearing teenagers. As a result of examining applications for DHH adolescents, it was found that there is a lack of useful applications for DHH students as most of them have no experience in using them. Second, the contents of media education received at school accounted for a high proportion of online etiquette(netiquette) education, online personal information protection methods, information search, video filming and editing, followed by fact-checking and critical criticism. Evaluation and fairness judgment of news were relatively low. The path of learning to use media was in the order of self-practice, school teacher, friend or senior, parents, and out-of-school teachers such as media education instructors. This suggests that media education is not being carried out systematically and efficiently for students with hearing impairments in schools.
