Technology Acceptance Model on Using Baseball Game Console for Hearing Impaired Learners

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that affect the use of the baseball game console for hearing impaired learners. The research framework was based on a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and external variables such as social norms, perceived enjoyment, and self-efficacy. Questionnaires were distributed to students at National Taichung School for Hearing Impairment Students. There was a high acceptance rate for using a baseball game console among the hearing impaired students as the hearing-impaired students have fewer leisure activities in their daily life. The results provide references to the institution for future improvement in teaching and curriculum planning.
