Perceptions of Teachers about Effects of Sexual Harassment on Academic Performance of Students with Hearing Impairment

Abstract

    When it comes to sexual harassment, it is defined as any sort of sexual harassment or manipulation and the unwelcome or improper offering of monetary remuneration in return for sexual favors. The impacts of sexual harassment on the students' academic performance with hearing impairment were explored in this study, which looked at teachers' impressions of the consequences. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to investigate special education teachers' impressions of the incidence of sexual harassment and the consequences of such harassment on the performance of students with hearing impairment. The data for this study was gathered through the use of a questionnaire. Several types of statistics were employed to address the study questions,including descriptive and inferential statistics. According to the findings of the data analysis, sexual harassment is a frequent practice in special academic institutions for children with hearing impairments, and sexual harassment has a negative impact on the academic performance of students with hearing impairments.
