Teaching and learning resources contribute to effective learning at school. Learning is the
gradual process which is facilitated by the available teaching and learning resources
especially to learners with hearing impairment. This research investigated the influence
of selected learning resources on the implementation of curriculum for learners with
hearing impairment in public primary schools in Ilemela District, Tanzania. There were
three specific objectives: to determine the contribution of learning materials on the
implementation of learners with hearing impairment curriculum, to find out the effect of
teachers’ qualifications on the implementation of learners with hearing impairment
curriculum, and to examine the influence of physical infrastructure on the implementation
of learners with hearing impairment curriculum in Public primary schools in Ilemela
District. The researcher used Equity Theory and Classical Liberal Theory of Equal
Opportunity. Questionnaire and interview methods were used in data collection. Research
findings showed that, learning materials, teachers’ qualifications and physical
infrastructure affect the implementation of curriculum to learners with hearing
impairment in Public primary schools. From the findings the study concludes that,
unqualified primary school teachers and shortage of teaching and learning resources
affect the implementation of learners with hearing impairment curriculum in primary
school level in Ilemela. The researcher recommended that, there is need for the
government and other educational stakeholders to provide enough learning materials to
learners with hearing impairment in primary schools. Also, the government should recruit
qualified teachers and introduce in- service training program for teachers to gain more
skills and knowledge in teaching learners with hearing impairment. |
