ABSTRACT

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identified teachers’ usage and demands of the common curriculum textbooks in schools for hearing impaired and to suggest ways to improve them. [Method] A survey was conducted on 96 teachers who were teaching Korean language, mathematics, science, and social studies at elementary and secondary schools for hearing impaired students. The survey was composed of seven questions related to the usage of the common curriculum textbooks, teaching-learning materials, and teachers’demands for improvement of the textbooks. [Results] The results of this study showed that the percentages of use (more than 61%) of textbooks on Korean language, mathematics, science, and social studies were 51.3%, 82.9%, 90.9%, and 81.3% for elementary schools and 76.0%, 66.7%, 64.3%, and 73.6% for secondary schools, respectively. The low percentages of textbooks (less than 60%) were revealed due to students' lack of vocabulary and comprehension and the difficulty of textbooks, and it was found that almost all textbooks were highly reconstructed or alternative teaching-learning materials were used. There was a high demand for the development of textbooks or alternative teaching-learning materials for hearing-impaired students on all subjects. [Conclusion] Based on the study’s findings, the policy directions for developing textbooks for schools with hearing impairment should be explored.
