Development of educational video materials collection as a part of special conditions for hearing impaired students while studying chemistry at technical university

Abstract

BMSTU trains hearing impaired persons as engineers on inclusive programs. The subjects of the inclusive educational process are students with hearing impairment of varying severity. The key need of this contingent of students is the content accessibility of educational resources in the disciplines of fundamental engineering, including chemistry. BMSTU solves the problem of accessibility of such disciplines as chemistry for hearing impaired students through creation of special educational conditions during study, taking into account individual characteristics of restricted information perception, restricted life activities and degree of their severity in students. Special conditions form a special accessible multimodal educational environment learning process in chemistry for students with hearing impairments. An element of forming such an environment was the development of a collection of educational multimedia video materials on the chemistry course topics. Involving deaf and hard-of-hearing students themselves in development of demonstration experiments as part of the educational process in chemistry and creation of a complex of video materials are important cognitive and social factors that increase their motivation to study chemistry.
