Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the experiences of students with hard of hearing (HH) in inclusive education practices, their teachers and parents regarding the distance education process. This research was designed with the phenomenological approach from qualitative research methods. The participants consisted of five secondary school students with HH studying at general education schools, their five parents, and ten teachers teaching students with HH. The data was collected in the 2021-2022 academic year through semi-structured interviews. In the study, it was determined that students with HH show reluctant and irregular participation in online courses. On the other hand, it was concluded that online courses were not adapted to the special needs of students and they did not get support special education services. All parents of students with HH were unable to participate in the distance education process. Distance education could be used in only support education or not at all unless it is necessary. The anxiety disorder, anger control problems and behavioural disorders brought on by adolescence increased with the decrease in socialisation in COVID-19-related closures.
