A STUDY OF VIRTUAL CLASSROOM FOR MAINSTREAMED HEARING IMPAIRED CHILDREN IN ISOLATED ISLANDS OR REMOTE RURAL AREAS

聋哑或听力障碍的主流儿童参与了虚拟教室。所有参与的儿童都生活在孤岛或偏远地区，在日常生活中没有机会与听障人士交流。为该虚拟教室开发了一套可通过并使用网络防火墙的远程会议系统。每个负责孩子的学校的老师被问及孩子在远程学习后对语言学习主题的虚拟教室的影响。根据调查结果，我们推测虚拟教室会影响儿童的心理发展，尤其是自我认知和认同。

Mainstreamed children who are deaf or hard of hearing participated in the virtual class room. All the children who participated live in the detached island or the remote district, and there was no opportunity to communicate with hearing-impaired persons in a usual life. The teleconference system which can pass through and use a network firewall for this virtual class room was prepared. The teacher of each school which takes the charge of children was asked about the influence of the child on a virtual class room after the distance learning on the theme of study of language. From the result of this investigation, it was guessed that a virtual class room affects a child's mental development especially self- perception and identity.
