Augmented reality in the training process of children with hearing disorders

Abstract

The relevance of the present research stems from the fact that the structure of sports activity of hearing-impaired athletes has objective features and depends on their psychophysiological potential. To modernize educational and training activities, to demonstrate practice exercises in detail, and to intensify the mastering of the movement technique enables the technology of augmented reality (AR). The purpose of this research is to prove the effectiveness of the technology of augmented reality to enhance learning in the educational and training process on track and field athletics by the hearing-impaired children of the basic level. In the course of the writing of the present work the following learning methodology was used: theoretical methods of the generalization of scientific and methodological literature, testing, analysis method, data processing, and interpretation. For the processing of quantitative results obtained the methods of mathematical statistics were used. In our research the main tests for the evaluation of the training effect with the use of AR technology are a 20-meters run at flying start, 100-meter race, standing long jump, jumping rope time trial. The effectiveness of the use of AR technology has shown positive dynamics by all criteria of the tests applied in this study. This technology is quite simple in application and use. Apart from the above hearing-impaired athletes, the results of this research can be applied to some other special needs children engaged in sports
