The Effectiveness of a Visual Thinking Networks Training Program on improving Visual Thinking Skills and Science Achievement among Hard of Hearing Students with Visual Perception Disability
Keywords:
Visual thinking networking, visual thinking, visual perception, science achievement, hard of hearing students with visual perception disabilityAbstract
This study investigated the effect of using Visual thinking networking on improving visual thinking , visual perception and science achievement among hard of hearing students with visual perception disability. Eight students identified as having hard of hearing and deafness participated. The sample was divided into two groups; experimental (n= 4 )and control (n= 4). Re-post and follow up tests were employed for data analysis. Findings from this study indicated the effectiveness of Visual thinking networking on improving visual thinking, visual perception and science achievement in the target students. On the basis of the findings, the study advocated for the effectiveness of Visual thinking networking on visual thinking, visual perception and science achievement among hard of hearing students with visual perception disability.Downloads
