The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of using a calendar system in teaching time concept to a deaf-blind student and to report the teacher's feedbacks and reflections. The main participants were an 11-years-old deaf-blind student and a teacher from a private special school for deaf-blind students. The research tools used included a calendar system, including real teaching objects in the calendar box for time concept instruction, and a laptop computer designed for interaction and communication use. Research methodwas action research methology. Interactions between the teacher and student were analyzed to understand the accessibility of teaching strategies of the calendar system. Research finding was that the calendar system not only expanded the deaf-blind student's understanding of time concept, interpersonal interaction range, and expressive mean length of utterance (MLU), but also increased his understanding and executing of the computer word processing system. Furthermore, the study also found that it was easier for the deaf-blind student to understand the meaning of math questions and to answer the questions when the teacher used character/person sticks in presenting math questions. |
