Computer Science Program And Academic Performance Among Deaf University Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the possible relationship between academic performance and computer science program among deaf university students. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire. The participants were 60 deaf students, 30 of whom are studying in the computer science program, and 30 are studying in the art education program at Zagazig University. The study's findings confirmed the presence of statistically significant differences in academic specialization among participants. The differences were statistically significant in the use of computer software as thinking tools for solving course-related problems The paper can be an important reference for understanding how deaf students use computer software in improving academic performance. This study contributes departments of education in universities to bridge the digital gap by prioritizing in their planning schedules and tool up curriculums to solve problems by using computer software for deaf students.
