Abstract

      This research aims to 1) develop a manual and computer vocabulary management system to promote learning for hearing-impaired learners, 2) Evaluate the manual and computer vocabulary management system to promote learning for hearing-impaired learners, and 3) Study the results of an experiment using a manual and computer vocabulary management system to promote learning for hearing-impaired students. Target group: three experts, three instructors, five sign language interpreters, and 20 students. The research tools included a vocabulary management system and a manual for using the computer vocabulary management system to promote learning. Knowledge of hearing-impaired learners Statistics used in research include mean and standard deviation.

            The research results found 1) a computer vocabulary management system to promote the learning of hearing-impaired students. It consists of 5 components: Communication Module, Create computer vocabulary Module, Check computer vocabulary Module, Computer vocabulary Module, and Computer terminology Module. There are four sets of user manuals for the system: expert manuals, Instructor Manual Sign Language Interpreter's Guide, and student handbook, and 2) the results of evaluating the manuals and systems by asking experts' opinions on (1) the components of the computer terminology management system.
