  Students with hearing impairment can be successful at and enjoy studying mathematics. Our research focuses on studying the effectiveness of using board games in developing basic mathematical skills and logical thinking in students with hearing impairment. Sample: n = 10 (2 females, 10 males) hearing impaired pupils (average age = 11,6 years). Method: an examination of logical-mathematical abilities before and after development. Result: strategic and logic-based games significantly impacted the development of mathematical skills and knowledge acquisition in mathematics.

  Background and aims: An important issue of teaching and learning processes is how to assess and develop students’ cognitive abilities. The aim of the study is to examine the correlation between in class 5 and 8 class measured skill levels' attention, memory, and thinking. Assumption: The correlation is between the pre-tested skills level and the post-tested skills level in the pilot group. The students with better skills have developed better during testing than the students with lower skills. Method: During the survey, I monitored the progression of students brought under a group (n=174) who in development activities took part in 4 years. The follow-up of the participants' memory, attention, and thinking was done with tests known in talent management. Results: There is a strong, positive correlation between attention, memory, and thinking. Discussion: The strong positive correlation indicates that the students with better skills show greater development than the students with lower skills. The initial benefits appear in point of the chance of development.

  Play and learn, or learn while having fun. Unfortunately, in today's achievement-oriented society, education is all about getting a student to complete a predetermined task on time. This pressure can be very stressful for students, especially if they themselves are perfectionists and want to do their best, and fear failure (repeating a term) and the feeling of underachievement when compared to the abilities of their peers. The "Juggling for Effective Learning" course has already been offered six times to students at Óbuda University. The primary reason for the course was to help students who have a disability, primarily a learning disability (dyslexia or dysgraphia). However, students who are curious about the course are also welcome to attend.

  Nowadays, the priority task of pedagogy is to develop skills and basic competencies, because these are necessary for a successful teaching-learning process. In contrast to the traditional frontal education, which the learners treat as a passive recipient. The current education places more and more emphasis on exploration, action-based learning, and knowledge acquisition based on one's own experiences, which can be based on play and playful activity. Gameplays a key role in the development of skills and personality, so in this research, we examine the role of game in the teaching of typical and learning disabilities children. During the study, we used an online questionnaire, which was sent to special educational needs teachers and the majority of teachers working in schools in Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg counties (N = 102 people). The distribution of the answers was even for each grade and school type, so we were able to form groups of 25 and 26 people. Our results reflect a different teaching method because special educational needs teachers use games much more often in their work and spend much more time on them compared to the majority of teachers. Special educational needs teachers attribute much more developmental effects to the game, so they use it more often in upper grades as well. The majority of teachers are dominated by info-communication tools, while special educational need teachers use several self-made tools. In terms of methods, teachers consider differentiation to be paramount, followed by an illustration and cooperative learning, while playing came in fourth place.
