Abstract

Background/objective:Hearing impaired students still face stigmatization and marginalization especially in inclusive classrooms in developing regions. This negatively impacts their school engagement. The present study aimed at ascertaining the effect of video-guided educational intervention on school engagement of hearing impaired students.Method:Randomized controlled trial design was adopted for the present study. A total of 46 junior secondary school students with hearing impairment and low school engagement symptoms participated in this study. The students were randomly assigned to groups - intervention group and care-as-usual control group. A video-guided educational intervention package which consists of 13-minutes captioned video clips with school engagement themes served as the treatment intervention. Data were collected at 3 different times (pre-test, post-test and follow up) using School Engagement Scale created by Fredericks, Blumenfeld, Friedel and Paris (2005). Data were analyzed using independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, Cohen d and Chi-square.Results:Results showed that the video-guided educational intervention significantly improved school engagement level among hearing impaired adolescent students in the intervention group in comparison with the students in the care-as-usual control group as measured by the Student Engagement Scale [Behavioral: t(24) = -9.305, P < .001; Emotional: t(24) = -7.772, P < .001; Cognitive: t(24) = -7.330 P < .001) as well as total student engagement (t(24) = 12.022, P < .001, Δ = 5.362). Also, the students who took part in the video-guided educational intervention maintained improved school engagement at follow-up.Conclusion:Video-guided educational intervention is an effective intervention for improving school engagement of hearing impaired adolescent students. Since acquiring relevant education is essential for leading a quality life especially among the special needs population, it was recommended that students with hearing impairment should be helped to acquire life skills through education by fostering their school engagement.
