The development of mathematics teaching materials integrating by Augmented Reality Software and Android for deaf students

Abstract

Mathematics has a unique concept and context, so mathematics is not easy to learn. Many students find it difficult to understand about mathematical concepts especially for students who has physical disability, such as hearing impairment. Teaching materials is required in mathematics learning, especially the topic of angles. One of the teaching materials on the topic of angle is developed using the integration of augmented reality (AR) software and android. The aims of this research are to describe the development phases and to describe the evaluation result of the teaching material integrated by AR software and android. This research uses the development (R&D) method by adapting and modifying the steps of R&D used by Borg and Gall. The sources of the data and information in this research is an expert in deaf education, a media expert, a mathematics teacher and a seventh-grader deaf student at a Junior High School of inclusion in Bandung. The result of this research shows that the teaching material integrating by AR software and android for deaf students is very good based on the referred category. It can be used in learning mathematics in school.
