【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of social skills training by multimedia instructional method on social skills development of second grade female deaf students in middle schools in city of Tehran. The statistical population included all of the female deaf students from Nimroz School. Then 38 students randomly selected from these students as samples. 19 students were assigned in experimental group and 19 as control group. Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (Matson, et al, 1983) was uesd to measure social skills. Multimedia instruction was conducted for the experimental group in eight sessions (60- minutes each) in a period of one month, twice a week. Both groups were reassessed at the end of the instruction. The results of analysis of covariance indicated that multimedia instruction was significantly effective in all the components of social skills development (p<0/001). The possible explanation for the increasing students' social skills components might be due to participation of the experimental group in the social skills training program. Therefore, in line with results from other studies, findings of this study demonstrate the prominent role of multimedia instruction in social skills development in deaf second grade female students.
