Introduction: One of the cognitive processes combined with language skills is teaching and understanding the concept of time. The purpose of this study was to access the lived experiences of cochlear implant experts regarding the use of educational strategies of metaphors to understand the category of time during the process of teaching.
Methods: This qualitative research was conducted using phenomenological method. The data collection method was semi-structured in-depth interviews. The sample was selected among the cochlear implant specialists based on inclusion criteria and theoretical saturation criterion. In a course for five weeks, the participants were taught a metaphorical training package based on the database of Raiisi et al (2020), Then the participants were asked to implement this educational package on children with cochlear implants for three months. After training, an interview was conducted with the participants to check the experience of training and then all the interviews were analyzed using the Colazzi’s model and thematic analysis method. Finally, in an online focus group discussion session, the experts' final agreement on the categories was obtained.
Results: After thematic extraction, seven categories were obtained which were finally categorized in the form of three main categories: Experts' experience of improving verbal-linguistic skills, experts' experience of facilitating teaching and learning process of time, and experts' experience of changing educational strategies through time metaphors.
Conclusions: The study of experts' experiences showed that language problems in children with cochlear implants are reduced through metaphor-based training, and the metaphorical perception of time is facilitated in these children.
