The purpose of this study is using schematic video and schema-based animation to help students with hearing impairments on solving arithmetic word problems involving money. The research designs include two phases: The Greco-Latin design was used for the first phase and the control-experimental ANCOVA design was used for the second phase. The participants are 25 students with hearing impairments, 12 for the first phase and 13 for the second phase. The major findings are (1) Students scores are higher in video and animation presentation of arithmetic word problems than in text. Video and animation can bridge the gap of words and suit the visual learning style of students with hearing impairments. (2) Students with hearing impairments in this study lag behind their hearing pals, the same as the literature review showed. (3) The math ability of students with hearing impairments progress with their age. (4) In affective and attitude domain, most students with hearing impairments have positive views of video and animation. (5) The effect of using animation to assist solving word problems reaches .05 level of significance. The effect of using video to assist solving word problems reaches nearly .05 level of significance. (6) For single step word problems, the students improve from 50% correct in pretest to 85.2% in posttest. For multiple step word problems, the students improve from 22.2% correct in pretest to 63% in posttest which is about threefold. |
