Design of Curriculum Adaptation Model Based on Decision Support System
Get PDFInclusive education aims to provide access and accommodation for students to achieve achievements based on their competence. A curriculum adaptation model has been developed as a guide to fulfill the student learning needs. This model is inefficient because the teacher considers the initial assessment and modifications/adjustments in learning outcomes troublesome. This study explains the development of a more efficient and attractive decision-support technology-based curriculum adaptation model. This technology development results 6-step system development process. The development design is carried out by implementing a decision support system that can reveal the student characteristics. It also can recommend student learning needs and achievement. So, the teachers can use that information to develop learning designs that adjust to students' characteristics. The analysis outline consists of procedures, component design models, realization, and implementation involving experts and target users to provide input on the design model. The urgency of this research lies in the fact that the steps involved in the curriculum adaptation model, particularly the pre-assessment are often perceived as burdensome, time-consuming, and complex. Teachers need a more efficient way to conduct assessments, obtain detailed analytical results quickly without excessive effort, and receive practical recommendations for curriculum adaptation. This research addresses these needs, which represents its novel contribution
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Learning Outcomes Assessment for Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Education Schools in Jakarta
Get PDFAssessment of learning outcomes for students with special needs (PDBK) in inclusive schools faces various challenges, especially in providing accommodations that suit individual needs.

This study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive design, gathering data from teachers in inclusive schools using questionnaires. We analyzed the data using descriptive statistical methods to provide a clear picture of the applied assessment practices. We conducted this research using quantitative methodology between March 2021 and November 2023, collecting data through questionnaires and analyzing it with descriptive statistical methods. The results indicated that evaluation practices in inclusive schools have not fully accommodated the needs of students with special needs.

Designing Assessment Instruments for Mild Intellectual Disability Students on Gardening Product Marketing
Get PDFThe study focuses on understanding the challenges, capabilities, and requirements of students with mild intellectual disabilities in marketing skills related to vegetable gardening. It aims to create a suitable learning assessment tool for these students. The researcher observed that teachers lacked a specific assessment instrument for evaluating the marketing of garden products. Consequently, a teacher improvised a self-made assessment. The research methodology employed a descriptive approach within a qualitative framework. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, documentation analysis, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and validation. Validation involved multiple stakeholders: a class teacher, a vice head of curriculum, a vocational teacher, and two students with mild intellectual disabilities. The assessment instrument, tailored for mild intellectual disability students, focused on three main aspects: self-development, language and mathematics abilities, and marketing theories. Two validators validated this instrument. The study anticipates several implications: students may enhance their skills and insights, teachers can improve teaching quality, school principals can better address learning needs, and parents gain insights into their children's interests and talents. The research addresses the dearth of appropriate assessment tools for marketing gardening products to students with mild intellectual disability. Its findings are poised to benefit various stakeholders, including students, teachers, school administrators, and parents, by fostering skill development, enhancing teaching quality, and facilitating a better understanding of students' needs and abilities

Technology Support for the Inclusion of Deaf Students in Special School Sukabumi City
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic brought rapid changes in various areas of life, including education and technology. One of the learning media that the deaf can use to improve their ability to compose sentence structures is I-CHAT (I Can Hear and Talk). I-CHAT is a portal that contains applications that function as tools for the deaf in language acquisition. In communicating, mastery of sentence structure is crucial. It is because with the correct sentence structure, other people will better understand what we are talking about, and besides that, communication becomes more effective and efficient. Communication barriers that occur in deaf children are caused by hearing impairment, which ultimately requires deaf children only to use sight to acquire their receptive language. This has an impact on the acquisition of imperfect or partial deaf children's receptive language because not everything they see can be understood. Therefore, if a deaf child makes a sentence, the sentence structure is sometimes wrong. This research aims to determine the use of I-CHAT in the preparation of sentence structures for deaf students at Inclusive School Sukabumi City. This research is experimental with a quantitative approach. The results of the research show that the use of I-CHAT can improve the ability to compose sentence structures for deaf children in Special School Sukabumi City
