dc.description.abstractThis quantitative study investigated the effects of presentation modes on the learning of sign language among 147 hearing impaired students in special education primary schools for the hearing impaired in Malaysia. This study consists of two parts, namely, development and evaluation. A 2 x 3 quasi-experimental factorial design with repeated measure for the moderator variable in a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was adopted in this study. The independent variables are the three presentation modes of the courseware namely Sign Language Video, Text and Image (SLTI), Sign Language Video and Text (SLT) and Sign Language Video and Image (SLI). The moderator variable is the different cognitive styles (FD and FI). The dependent variable is the students' achievement scores as measured by the posttest scores. In the first part, the presentation modes were designed and developed. In the second part, this study investigated the effects of the three presentation modes on hearing impaired students of different cognitive styles. ANOVA and ANCOVA analyses were conducted to test the null hypotheses in this study. The results revealed the hearing impaired students attained significant difference in the mean achievement scores in the three presentation modes. The hearing impaired students using the SLTI mode attained the highest mean achievement score. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference among the mean achievement scores attained by hearing impaired students with different cognitive styles among the three presentation modes. It also showed that there were no significant interaction effect among the presentation modes and cognitive styles. In conclusion, this study indicated that the SLTI mode consists of sign language video, text and image is most effective in the learning of sign language.en_US
