| Abstract: | Technological advancements have introduced new educational methods that, when combined with appropriate pedagogical foundations, transform the landscape of education. This study investigates the knowledge, skills, attitudes and challenges faced by teachers of deaf students (DSTs) in integrating Augmented Reality (AR) technology into their teaching practices. A descriptive mixed‐method research design was utilized, involving 100 DSTs from various subject specializations and levels of experience in the Muscat Governorate. Data were collected through a questionnaire and semi‐structured interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using independent samples t‐tests and one‐way ANOVA, while qualitative data were explored through thematic analysis. The results indicated that DSTs generally possessed limited knowledge and mastery of AR technology in educational settings. However, they exhibited positive attitudes towards using AR for teaching deaf students. Despite these positive attitudes, DSTs encountered several challenges in implementing AR. Additionally, no significant differences were found concerning teaching experience and subject specialization in the use of AR technology. The study concludes with implications for practice and recommendations for supporting DSTs in the effective integration of AR technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
