Abstract:
The study aimed to identify the reality of distance learning services
provided to Deaf students during the Coronavirus Corvid-19 pandemic in
Jeddah City. To achieve the study's goal, the descriptive analytical method
was used. The sample of the study consisted of )59( teachers of Deaf students
from all school settings in Jeddah city during the semester of the academic year
1440 AH-1441 AH. The results showed that the reality of distance learning
services provided to Deaf students during the Coronavirus pandemic from the
teachers' perspective in Deaf schools in Jeddah is weak. Furthermore, the most
significant barriers to remote educational services for deaf students during
this pandemic are related to a lack of consideration for the Deaf students'
characteristics, culture, and language.
In addition, the study showed no differences between the average opinions
of the study sample on the reality of distance learning services provided to
deaf students during the Corona Virus pandemic in Jeddah due to gender,
educational qualification, and years of experience. The study recommended
the necessity of conducting training courses for teachers on the use of distance
learning services that provided to Deaf students, as well as work on developing
a distance learning platform suitable for Deaf students that can meet their
educational needs remotely
