Perception and Intelligent Quotient Between With and Without Hearing Impairment Children

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare perception and intelligent quotient between with and without hearing impairment school children. To achieve the purpose of the study ten children each with hearing impairment were selected from the Florence Swainson Higher Secondary Deaf School, Palayamkottai and without hearing impairment children were selected from Manthramoorthi Govt. Higher Secondary School, Tirunelveli. The subjects were randomly selected. The age of the subjects ranged from 10-14 years. The following variables were selected for the present study such as perception and intelligent quotient and they were tested with standardized tests. The experimental design for this study was static group comparison design. The data collected from the two groups on selected variables such as perception and intelligent quotient were statistically examined for significant differences, the independent ‘t’ test. In all cases 0.05 levels was fixed as significant level to test the hypothesis. There was significant difference on perception between with and without hearing children and there was no significant difference on intelligent quotient between with and without hearing children.
