| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 107 === The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities stated right for people with disabilities to participate in leisure sports and activities, which mean no one, should be excluded from sports, including baseball. Known as the most iconic sports in Taiwan, baseball has established its fan base and has a total of more than 20 million visitors to the arena so far. Combined with the current broadcasting technology, fans can “watch” baseball game at anywhere they want without going to the arena. However, the broadcasting system has some limitation for people with disabilities, especially for people with hearing impairment which is the fourth largest population among the disabilities in Taiwan. Since the audio explanation given by the anchor could not easily be heard. Researcher wonders if this characteristic could affect the audience’s attention and the focus of the game compared to other people. The method for the study uses the eye tracker devices to study the gazing behavior and understand the relation between people with hearing impairment and people without it. The eye tracker device - EyeNTNU-p30 developed by Taiwan Normal University is an accurate tool for tracking down gazing behavior. By using this tool to understand the focus differences between people with different characteristics when watching a broadcasted baseball game, researcher aims to understand the following questions: 1. Through the real-life videos to understand the eye movement gazing behavior of different groups of subjects; 2. To explore the impact of gazing behavior for “hearing impairment” when watching a baseball broadcast; 3. Understand if “baseball experience” would impact the gazing behavior when watching baseball broadcast. The research use snowballing sampling with sampling personnel restricted to male. Researcher recruited 77 subjects and separated them into 6 categories: “hearing impairment with rich experience”, “hearing impairment with decent experience”, “hearing impairment without experience”, “non-hearing impaired with rich experience”, “non-hearing impaired with decent experience” and “non-hearing impaired without experience”. The study uses nonparametric statistics and chi-squared test to analyze the result. Researcher found that: 1. When watching the broadcast, those who have rich experience have more significant gazing time in the region of interest(ROI) than those without experience (p<.05); 2. In the real-life video, there was a significant difference between the rich experience and the inexperienced in gazing behavior (p<.05). The two points mentioned above are consistent with other similar studies: the difference for groups with experience and knowledge will lead to different eye movements compared to group without those two; 3. Regardless of hearing impairment, there is no significant difference between watching baseball broadcasts and eye movements on the spot (p>.05), this finding is inconsistent with other study due to the characteristics of the study is different. Based on these 3 findings, the gazing behavior difference between people with hearing impairment and people without it is not significant; though "experience difference" is different. The study suggests that in the future, the subjects can be brought into the stadium to observe the eye movements of the real-time situation (which has high tension, change of position, cheerleading dance performance). And attach importance to the role of the baseball team to pay attention to the cheerleaders team, and pay more attention to the location where the advertisements appear during the baseball broadcasts. This study combines hearing impairment, baseball viewing and eye movement analysis to have an initial significance in Taiwan academic circles.
