E-teaching for students with hearing impairment

Abstract

The paper analyses the influence of the usage of electronic educational programmes in Nature and Society teaching upon the level of acquisition among students with hearing impairment, based on the experimental research in which the parallel-groups method was applied. The advantages of a combined type of teaching were evident regarding both a higher level of acquisition of general knowledge (t=7.100; p=0.0001) and a higher level of memorized facts (p=8.378; t=0.0001). The obtained results indicate that the use of computers in Nature and Society teaching is didactically and methodologically fully justified. Considering the importance of the subject Nature and Society within the system of school subjects and the basis it provides for studying various contents on higher educational levels, these results might prove significant for the organization of the teaching process on the whole.

U radu je ispitivan uticaj upotrebe edukativnog računarskog programa u nastavi prirode i društva na nivo usvojenosti znanja učenika oštećenog sluha korišćenjem eksperimentalnog metoda sa paralelnim grupama. Prednosti se odnose na viši nivo usvojenosti znanja u celini (t=7.100; p=0.0001), kao i na viši nivo znanja činjenica (t=3.975; p=0.0001) i razumevanja naučenog (p=8.378; t=0.0001). Ovi rezultati upućuju na didaktičko-metodičku opravdanost primene kompjutera u nastavi prirode i društva. Uzimajući u obzir značaj prirode i društva u sistemu ostalih predmeta i ulogu koju ima u izučavanju sadržaja na višim nivoima školovanja, ovi rezultati mogu imati širi značaj u organizaciji nastavnog procesa u celini.
