Abstract

The purpose of our research was the modification of teaching strategies of maths for deaf and hard-of-hearing learners. More specifically, we aimed to study the possibilities of optimal use of interactive exercises such as LearningApps and GeoGebra Dynamic Mathematics system in order to provide methodical and didactic support for training sessions, but also to assure independent study and implementation of monitoring activities. The developed visual materials for teaching children with hearing impairments were partially introduced into the educational process in a pilot project for the retraining of 12 school teams working with children with hearing impairments in Kryvyi Rih in educational strategies, for learning mathematics in grades 8-9 of an inclusive type for instructors teaching in a mainstreamed classroom with a mix of hearing, deaf and hardof- hearing students (students 12-14 years old: N = 80 children with hearing impairments; data collected in 2019-2021). In the context of research goals the academic success (algebra, geometry), and mathematical skills of students were analysed. According to the study results, there was a significant increase in the mean score of performance after the intervention than before the intervention. In other words, this increase represents the effectiveness of ICT educational methods. Furthermore, we highlighted some recommendations for using online service LearningApps, GeoGebra Dynamic Mathematics system, and project-based learning technologies in Mathematics, in particular.
