Assistive Computer Application Software, a Tool for Enhancing Mathematics Cognition

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the acceptance of Job Access With Speech (J.A.W.S.) software as an assistive tool for enhancing mathematics education in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (T.V.E.T.) colleges, with a specific focus on students with visual impairments and educators. The research will explore the effects of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and self-efficacy on the acceptance of J.A.W.S. in the teaching and learning of mathematics. The study will contribute to the existing literature by examining the factors influencing the acceptance of J.A.W.S. among students and educators in T.V.E.T. colleges, providing insights into the role of technology in inclusive mathematics education. The findings will inform educators and policymakers about the importance of integrating assistive technologies, such as J.A.W.S., to improve the academic performance and learning experience of students with visual impairments in mathematics education.
