Abstract

The study was geared towards the usability of assistive technologies for learners with hearing impairment. Descriptive research of the Survey design was adopted. The sample comprised of one hundred and ten hearing impaired students of Federal College of Education (Special) Oyo. An adopted checklist and a structured questionnaire were utilized in collecting data while simple percentages, mean standard deviation, and t-test was used to analyze the data collected. The results of the study indicated that assistive technologies in FCE (SP) Oyo are generally available and functional; the use of assistive technologies among the learners with hearing impairment in FCE (SP) Oyo is high. Also, the result indicated that learners with hearing impairment in FCE (SP) Oyo have a positive attitude towards the use of assistive technologies. There was no significant difference between male and female learners with hearing impairment in the use of assistive technologies in FCE (SP) Oyo. It was recommended among others that learners with hearing impairment should be encouraged to adopt the ultimate use of assistive technologies.

联邦教育学院听力障碍学习者辅助技术的可用性研究

这项研究旨在帮助听力受损的学习者使用辅助技术。调查设计采用描述性研究。样本由联邦教育学院(特殊)Oyo的110名听障学生组成。数据收集采用清单法和结构化问卷法，数据分析采用简单百分比法、平均标准差法和t检验法。研究结果表明，FCE (SP) Oyo的辅助技术是普遍可用的和功能性的;FCE (SP) Oyo中听力障碍学习者使用辅助技术的比例较高。结果还表明，FCE (SP) Oyo的听力障碍学习者对辅助技术的使用持积极态度。听力障碍的男女学习者在FCE (SP) Oyo中使用辅助技术的情况无显著差异。除其他外，还建议应鼓励有听力障碍的学习者最终采用辅助技术。
