Norsiah Fauzan, Priscilla Nicholas


The aim of the study is to explore the experiences of the deaf while learning how to dance in silence. It is to identify the type of brainwaves that occurs in the brain when the hearing impaired were learning to dance by watching video model demonstration. Meanwhile the results might revealed the effective technique for teaching the deaf so that they can learn and perform well in dancing. Quantitative method was implemented in this study using quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) to record the brain waves. Participants were volunteers from integrated school of the deaf. The learners were studying the steps in Indian classical dance from the video while their brainwave were recorded and were asked to demonstrates and recall the steps. The subjects are visualizing and estimating the steps taken by the video model while trying to imagine and remember the steps for the dance. This shows that delta wave really affects all the candidates during video test.
