DOI 10.1504/ijil.2023.134752
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The study theoretically examines the practical implementation of web-quest and case-study strategies in teaching students with hearing impairments. Sixty students with hearing impairments from the Shymkent City Light Industry and Service College in Kazakhstan participated in web-quest interaction and case studies. Students provided information on three topics, which are general requirements for sewing, processing small finishing parts, and processing initial shelves and backs. The problem-based learning method was applied including task assignment, web research, teamwork, self-evaluation, and individual study. Participants presented their findings by print, PowerPoint, or video due to their hearing impairment. The web content was used in solving the case study tasks. By following the problem-based learning method, this study develops a training project for students with hearing impairments. The successful completion of the project reveals that integrating web-quest and case study strategies in training hearing-impaired students with practical skills is essential for their profession as fashion designers. An experiment has been conducted to prove the advantage and effectiveness of problem-based learning. Sixty students with hearing impairments took part in the experiment.
