“…The aim of special education is to develop the cognitive and social communication-interaction skills of these children (Coates et al, 2020). Some high-level thinking skills, including thinking, knowing, perceiving, reasoning, decision-making, following a thought, remembering, summarizing, generalizing, predicting, and deducing, have not yet developed sufficiently in some children with SLD at a young age (Khasawneh et al, 2020;Khasawneh, 2021). Khasawneh et al (2020) determined the level of metacognitive thinking in a group of students with learning disabilities.…”

The philosophy for children approach is a method of developing critical thinking in children through philosophical dialogue. Questioning skills, which are an important stage of critical thinking, is an intellectual process that takes place in order to make an experience meaningful. Asking questions is one of the oldest learning-teaching tools used in the inquiry process. Children with special learning disabilities (SLD) have various distinctive features in terms of cognitive and social development. The development of high-level thinking skills, which includes a whole set of cognitive skills such as thinking, knowing, perceiving, reasoning, making decisions, following a thought, remembering, summarizing, generalizing, predicting, and inferring, is not yet sufficiently developed in young children with special learning disabilities. Simon (1979) suggested that using the “Philosophy with Children” approach would be effective in improving the cognitive and social skills of children with SLD. Accordingly, in this study, it was investigated effectiveness of Philosophy for Children curriculum on the question-formulating skills of children with SLD. In the research, one group pre-test post-test random experimental design, which is one of the quasi-experimental designs, was used. The applications were implemented for one hour, once a week for ten weeks. The study group consists of 13 children who are in the 2nd and 3rd grade and diagnosed with SLD. The data were collected with the "interview form containing the philosophical inquiry text and questions" and the audio recordings of the training sessions. The inductive data analysis method was used in the analysis of the obtained data. The findings indicated that, the "Philosophy with Children" curriculum improved the level of questions that children with SLD create in their philosophical inquiry processes.

“…Piaget conducted research on the stages of change in age from infancy, childhood, to adulthood which makes differences in the ability of individuals to learn through their mindset and reasoning. In addition, cognitive development can be formed because of the interaction between the individual and the environment so that it will indirectly shape the child's personality from attitudes and behavior through the thinking process that occurs [22], [23]. There are stages of cognitive development which are divided into four stages, namely the sensorimotor stage (0-2 years), the preoperational stage (2-7 years), the concrete operational stage (7-11 years), and the formal operational stage (12 years and over) [24].…”

The level of value and ethical crisis that occurs in children still tend to be found in society. It could be influenced by parenting patterns and observed based on daily interactions (talk and behave). Improving children’s understanding can be done through a game because it is considered to be an effective way and able to provide entertainment for children. This research uses the modern method from the Fisher-Yates Shuffle algorithm for randomizing quiz questions because it has linear time complexity and constant space complexity. Based on the results of testing using a questionnaire to 38 respondents, the score of player satisfaction using the GUESS-18 calculation method is 82.08% which is a value with the predicate ’Good’. For the comparison of quiz scores on the pretest and post-test questions given, there were 86.84% of players managed to experience an increase in ethical development after completing learning through the game My Little Adventurer.

“…The absence of hearing leads to various developmental problems for deaf and hard of hearing children. These difficulties appear clearly in language delays, speech production and understanding, and restrict the experiences necessary for cognitive development, which leads to noticeable problems in their academic achievement (Khasawneh, 2021e).…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of a training program to improve English pronunciation for hard-of-hearing students. To achieve the aim of the study, the researchers used the quasi-experimental approach, and the study sample consisted of (30) students with hearing impairments from primary schools in the city of Irbid. The experimental group studied based on the training program and consisted of (15) students, and (15) students of the control group studied in the traditional way. A set of instruments has been prepared, which consists of an image-naming test and preparing a training program based on the curriculum for students to see their effectiveness in raising the level of pronunciation for students with hearing impairments in the English language. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups in favour of the experimental group. The study recommended holding training courses (sound training) targeting parents of hearing-impaired students in order to develop the receptive and expressive language of their children.
