Abstract

Measuring the Effectiveness of a Proposed Educational Program in Teaching Pattern-Making of Children’s Clothing to Severely Hearing-Impaired Students Using E-Learning

Highlights

Nowadays, attention to education has imposed itself as a necessity, given its effective contribution in supporting the success of economic and social development plans that aim to improve the living standards, since the progress and advancement of nations are measured by the extent of its industrial technological progress, in which education plays a key role (Jabr, 2012).People with hearing impairment are partners in development process, and they have the right to education like their non-disabled peers
Hearing-impaired students are among student groups that are most in need of e-learning, as they rely mainly on the sense of sight when receiving information
The study applied the descriptive approach so as to address the research theoretical framework, and to determine the basic knowledge on methods that are utilized in preparing electronic curricula, in consistent with the cognitive, educational and emotional characteristics of severely hearing-impaired students, as well as to address the basic knowledge of the curriculum

Summary

Introduction

Attention to education has imposed itself as a necessity, given its effective contribution in supporting the success of economic and social development plans that aim to improve the living standards, since the progress and advancement of nations are measured by the extent of its industrial technological progress, in which education plays a key role (Jabr, 2012).People with hearing impairment are partners in development process, and they have the right to education like their non-disabled peers. Saudi Arabia’s national strategy for the development of public education has emphasized the importance of providing equal learning opportunities and support systems for all students, by means of providing equal enrollment opportunities and equal and appropriate education in schools and universities for students with special needs (Ministry of Education, 2021). Modern trends in educating students with special needs agree that people with different impairments, including severely hearing-impaired students, have abilities and potentials that are no less than normal people, provided that an educational environment be provided to them, to contribute to achieving the desired goals of their upbringing and education (Hanafi, 2018), and to enable them to compete with other disability-free students and show the same educational and professional skills. The performance of severely hearing-impaired students may be lower than that of disability-free students in the IQ-tests due to the delay in language development (Al-Nimr, 2015: pp. 80-81)
