The Effectiveness of a Micro Learning Environment Based on Navigational Tools in Developing Computer and Information Technology Skills for Deaf Students

 The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of a learning environment based on the tools of navigation (content tables - cognitive maps) in the development of computer skills and information technology in the first grade pupils deaf class in the school of hope for the deaf and the deaf and the hearing impaired in Aswan.  The experimental design of the two groups was based on two independent variables: the first is a Micro-learning environment based on the content-type navigation tool, and the second is a learning environment based on the cognitive mapping tool. The search included only one dependent variable (Computer skills and information technology of Deaf students). The sample consisted of (30) students of the first grade of the Deaf class in Aswan Governorate. They were divided into two groups. Statistical methods were used to reveal the difference between the two groups. That navigational tool of n (Cognitive maps) within the learning environment is better than the content-type navigation tool, and the best experimental treatment is that cognitive maps when used as a sailing tool contribute to greater interaction by students. Knowledge maps also allow students to create an integrated image on the content of the environment, which helped him to fully control the idea of fragmentation of topics, which led to easy to retain information and speed in remembering and retrieving.
