Abstract EN

The study sets out to investigate the effectiveness of the Acadox electronic platform through the screen reader program on achievement and motivation development for female students with visual disability.

In order to achieve these aims the descriptive approach and the quasi-experimental approach were utilized with a sample consisting of 20 female students with visual disability at the University of Taibah in Medina.

The participants were equally divided into an experimental group and a control group.

Data collection was carried out by means an achievement test consisting of 30 items and a motivation scale involving 27 items.

The resulting data was statistically analyzed by Alpha Kronbach coefficient, Koder Richardson equation 20, Pearson correlation coefficient, Mann Whitney independent sample test, Cohen’s effect size calculation equation (d) and Cohen’s index, Wilcoxson test for paired samples, Modified Blake's Gain Ratio.

The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the postadministration to the achievement test in favor of the experimental group.

A significant difference was also found in the mean scores of the experimental group students between the pre- and postadministrations to the achievement test in favor of the postadministration.

Moreover, the results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-administration to the motivation scale in favor of the experimental group, as well as a significant difference in the mean scores of the experimental group students between the pre- and post-administrations to the motivation scale in favor of the post-administration.

In light of the results reached, the study recommended making use of the Acadox electronic platform through the screen reader program for improving achievement and motivation development for students with visual disability at all Arab and local universities, as well as other educational levels.

The study concluded by putting forth a number of suggestions for further research, including conducting a study investigating the effectiveness of an Acadox electronic platform in measuring other variables such as critical thinking, brainstorming and problem solving for students with visual disability
