It is difficult for hearing-impaired individuals to learn animal sounds and the onomatopoeia that depict them because they have limited or no access to auditory information. To attempt to solve this problem, the author designed a science lesson to help hearing-impaired students learn cicada songs. This lesson used multiple media including text, images, sounds, sound waveforms, onomatopoeia and vibrations to stimulate the senses of sight, hearing and touch. An experiment was conducted on 26 hearing-impaired students, who were split into two groups. One of the groups was provided with vibrations as part of the lesson and the other was not. Preand post-tests on the names of cicadas and their songs and a lesson evaluation survey were conducted to assess the lesson’s effectiveness. Although results showed no significant difference in learning between the two groups, students who were able to discriminate among the different vibrations reported that they found the lesson enjoyable and that it was a useful way to learn science.
