The Results of the Trial of the Digital Technology Application Activity Guide for Hearing Impaired Students to Prepare for Learning Using the SQ4R Technique The Results of the Trial of the Digital Technology Application Activity Guide for Hearing Impaired Students to Prepare for Learning Using the SQ4R Technique

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop a manual for digital technology application activities for hearing-impaired students to prepare for learning by using the SQ4R technique, 2) to evaluate the development of a manual for organizing digital technology application activities for hearing-impaired students in order to prepare for learning using the SQ4R technique, and 3) experiment with a manual for organizing digital technology application activities for hearing impaired students prepare for learning by using the SQ4R technique. The target group for the manual trial was 15 students and nine experts evaluating the manual. The research tools were a questionnaire on the appropriateness of the activity management manual, a learning outcome assessment using the SQ4R technique, a learning outcome assessment test, and a satisfaction questionnaire towards the manual for digital technology application activities for hearing-impaired students to prepare for learning using the SQ4R technique. The statistics used in the research were mean and standard deviation.

            The research results were as follows: 1) the results of developing a manual for organizing digital technology application activities for hearing-impaired students to prepare for learning using the SQ4R technique consisted of a manual for teachers and a handbook for students, 2) the experts' opinions on the overall activity guide were at a high level, and 3) the results of the experimental use of the activity management manual showed that (1) the target group had a higher mean score after learning than before learning at a statistical significance level of .05, (2) the efficiency of the activity manual resulted in learners learning at 82.50/83.55%, and (3) the overall satisfaction of the target audience with the activity tool was at the highest level.
