Abstract
There had been mixed observations about the ability and achievement of learners with
hearing impairment. However, there are consensus that impactful teaching effort
could aid in stimulating innovative approaches in teaching and learning of
mathematics of learners particularly among learners with hearing impairment. This
study seeks to appraise the impact of gamification and experiential learning on
achievement in mathematics among learners with hearing impairment in Lagos State,
Nigeria. The study population comprised learners with hearing impairment in Lagos
State. Purposive and simple random sampling were used to select sample of 24
learners. The research design used was quasi-experimental pretest posttest traditional
method group. Mathematics Knowledge Check (MKC) was used to collect data and
the data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, mean difference and
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of
significance. The study found out that achievement in Mathematics differs as a result
of exposing learners with hearing impairment to gamification and experiential
learning methods of instruction. Besides, the study observed that the two interventions
benefit were of benefit to male and female learners with hearing impairment. The
employment of gamification and experiential learning instructional strategy was
recommended for mathematics lessons of learners with hearing impairment
