Abstract

Learning the textile industry is essential in arts and crafts education programs, as it contributes to developing motor and creative abilities and enhances independence. Textile structures science is considered one of the courses to be studied by female students with severe hearing impairment enrolled in the Fashion Industry Program at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah. The research aims to measure the impact of using both the frame loom method and the floor loom method (pedals) to acquire the cognitive skills associated with manual work on the loom. The importance of the research is evident in the necessity of improving the quality of life of female students with hearing impairment and integrating them into society by enabling them to master some handicrafts. This has been applied to different sixth-level female students who were divided into two sections, each section used to be taught in a method, and the “pre-post” cognitive testing tool was used.

The research concluded that the use of both methods was successful in acquiring the required cognitive skills and that there were no statistically significant differences between the average scores of the two groups (the first which had been taught using the frame method, and the second which has been studied using the floor loom method (pedals) for the members of the research sample in the post-application of the test. The research recommends paying attention to conducting similar studies on the different methods used in teaching practical courses to female students with severe hearing impairment.
