Development of a Canva-Based Textbook on Numbers 1-10 for Students with Hearing Impairments at the ABD Kedungkandang Special Needs School

Abstract

This study used the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) method to
develop a textbook-based learning media specifically designed for deaf students. The main objective
of this study was to improve deaf students' understanding of mathematics through an interactive and
accessible visual approach. The study was conducted at the ABD Negeri Special Needs School in
Kedungkandang, Malang, collecting primary data through interviews with classroom teachers and
secondary data from school administrative documents. The development process began with a needs
analysis that identified key challenges in mathematics learning, such as difficulty understanding
abstract concepts and limited available learning media. Based on these findings, the textbook was
designed using relevant visual elements, such as images of everyday life, bright colors, and step-bystep practice questions. The use of the Canva application facilitated the creation of engaging and easyto-understand materials. Evaluation of the textbook was conducted through a trial involving a group
of assessors and showed positive results, with the majority of respondents agreeing that the textbook
was effective and relevant to the needs of deaf students. This research is expected to provide a
solution to improve the effectiveness of mathematics learning for deaf students, particularly in
introducing the number 1-10 topic.
