Abstract

This study employed a case study design to explore classroom environment support for communication for deaf students at the University of Education, Winneba. The study sampled 20 participants which comprised ten deaf students, five interpreters, and five lecturers. A one-on-one semi-structured interview was used to collect data from participants. Data was analyzed using themes. Findings from the study revealed that classroom environment support for communication for deaf students involves, the relationship among deaf students, interpreters, and lectures about communication at the lecture hall; the student's participation at the lecture hall. Based on the results from the study, it was recommended that the management of the University of Education, Winneba, and the Department of Special Education should collaborate to ensure a supportive environment for effective classroom communication for deaf students. The Department of Special Education should facilitate continuous professional development seminars and in-service training for lecturers and interpreters on the education of deaf students to enable them to come up with more innovative ways of communicating with deaf students.

Abstract

The objectives of the study were to determine the effect of digital media instruction on students’ academic performance in expressing organic chemistry nomenclature and to assess its effect on the male and female experimental groups of students’ performance in expressing organic chemistry nomenclature. The study adopted the non-equivalent quasi-experimental research design using the pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 103 students, with 48 from Potsin Senior High School forming the control group, and 55 from Winneba Senior High School forming the experimental group, including 31 males and 24 females. A pre-test was administered to all the participants to determine their academic performance. During the study, the experimental group (Winnesec) received treatment through digital media, while the control group (Postin) was taught using traditional teaching methods. These teaching approaches were implemented over four weeks. After the treatment, a post-test was administered to both groups. The tests (pre-test and post-test) were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2019. The results revealed that digital media was found to be more effective than the traditional method of teaching. Furthermore, results revealed that there was no differential effect of digital media on male and female students’ performance in organic chemistry nomenclature.
