This quantitative study investigated the effects of E-SignNet on the learning
of Malaysian Sign Language among 147 hearing impaired students with
different cognitive styles in Malaysia. A quasi-experimental with control
group pre-test and post-test design was used in this research. The independent
variables were the presentation modes (SLTI, SLI and SLT) and cognitive
styles. The dependent variable was the achievement scores, and the covariate
was the pre-test scores. The two-way ANCOVA was performed to analyse the
effects of cognitive styles (independent variable) on the achievement scores
(dependent variable) among the three presentation modes. The results revealed
that by using E-SignNet, there were no significant difference in achievement
scores among the three presentation modes and cognitive styles.
