Mathematical environment of primary school inclusive students with hearing loss and views of stakeholders in this environment

The aim of the research is to examine the mathematical environments of primary school inclusive students with hearing loss and the opinions of the stakeholders in this environment. In the research conducted with the case study design of qualitative research methods, data were collected through interviews, observations, documents, validity and reliability committee meetings and minutes, and the researcher's diary. The participants of the research are 2 students with hearing loss receiving education in an inclusive environment, the students' classroom teacher and support education room teacher, and the students' parents. As a result of the research, the physical characteristics of the mathematical environment of students with hearing loss receiving education in an inclusive environment were explained as noise and sound insulation, seating arrangement, and wall panels, the educational characteristics of the classroom teacher and support education room teacher, the teaching methods they use in the mathematics teaching process, materials, activities, support activities for students with hearing loss, the efforts of families to support their children with hearing loss, and the cooperation activities carried out were explained. In terms of the opinions of the stakeholders in the mathematical environment, students with hearing loss seem successful, the most successful areas are calculation skills, while the weak areas are determined as problem solving and abstract mathematics, and the concerns of the parents regarding the future education processes of their children with hearing loss were explained. It is thought that the results of the study will contribute to the determination of the situations that students with hearing loss encounter in learning mathematics, the difficulties experienced and the efforts made to overcome these difficulties, and will guide students with hearing loss, teachers and families.
