Communication Skills of Teacher Trainees Having Hearing Impairment with Their Peers

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of communication skills among teacher trainees with hearing impairment in comparison to their peers, considering both age and disability status. The study will employ a quantitative research design, utilizing surveys and assessments to collect data. Participants will include teacher trainees with hearing impairment and their peers without hearing impairment, categorized based on age groups and disability status. The research will assess communication skills through various measures such as verbal proficiency, non-verbal communication, and overall interpersonal effectiveness. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and regression, will be employed to examine the relationship between communication skills, age, and disability status. The findings aim to contribute valuable insights into the specific challenges faced by teacher trainees with hearing impairment in their interactions with peers, shedding light on potential areas for improvement in teacher education programs and fostering inclusivity within educational environments.
