| Article Name : | | | A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE FACTORS PREDICTING THE RECALL OF GEOMETRIC TERMS AMONG STUDENTS WITH AND WITHOUT HEARING IMPAIRMENT | | Author Name : | | | Pratima Singh, Suni Mathew | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-3239 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Mathematics education requires a strong foundation. The strong foundation in students is laid through compulsory Mathematics learning in schools. The curricula are organized in a graded fashion so that students in lower classes need to master the basic skills in order to move to the next skill. Once they move to the next skill, they need to recall and apply what they have learnt before, because of the internal correlation within the subject. Hence, recalling abilities of students play a significant role in learning Mathematics. Researches done in this area have identified familiarity, concreteness, imagery and signability as the major factors influencing the recalling abilities of students (Lang and Pagliaro, 2007). The present study aimed to compare the ratings of familiarity, concreteness, imagery and signability of Geometric terms in recalling among students with and without hearing impairment. A total of 90 students with and without hearing impairment from special and mainstream schools participated in the study. The scores obtained on developed rating scales were treated statistically using Pearson correlation. The ratings on signability of geometric terms among students with hearing impairment was found better than that of their hearing peers. On the other hand, ratings on imagery of geometric terms among students without hearing impairment was found better than that of their hearing impaired peers. | | Keywords : | | |
