Abstract: Background: Head movements are an important form of nonverbal communication that improves cognitive abilities in students with impaired hearing. In addition, learning videos serve as an effective educational tool, especially when combined with demonstration methods in sign language teaching. However, many students have difficulty accessing learning videos. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a combination of head movement-based learning videos--delivered via the newly developed Difable Experience Management Learning (DXML) platform--with the demonstration method on the sign language abilities of students with impaired hearing in an inclusive elementary school. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used on 96 students divided into three groups. The first experimental group used the DXML platform and demonstration method, the second group used the demonstration method only and the control group used only the DXML platform. Data was obtained from pretest and posttest to measure the improvement of sign language ability with mixed methods ANOVA and interviews were conducted to determine the descriptive engagement of students. Results and Conclusion: The results showed significant differences between the groups. The first experimental group had the highest improvement in sign language ability, with a 24% increase. The combination of the DXML platform and demonstration method is the most effective approach for improving sign language skills in students with hearing impairments. Students reported positive feedback and increased engagement with the learning platform. Further research could explore the wider impact of assistive technology in other teaching designs. These findings suggest that integrating assistive technology like DXML with traditional pedagogy can create more inclusive, engaging and effective learning environments for students with hearing impairments--offering scalable solutions for inclusive education systems globally.
