Adaptive Learning Model for Children with Learning Problem in Inclusive School

摘要

This study aims to provide teachers with knowledge and materials in inclusive schools about adaptive learning models for children with learning difficulties. The method used was a lesson study. The subjects were 20 teachers and principals in 3 elementary schools, namely SDN II Tomohon, SD Inpres Walian and SD GMIM IV Tomohon, in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that the high prevalence of children with learning disabilities in inclusive schools in Tomohon City is 8.1% of the number of students in schools that it requires serious handling. The introduction and mastery of adaptive learning models in inclusive schools become an obligation for teachers. There are learning models such as differentiated learning models and SAVI learning models, which can be implemented for children with learning difficulties. Teachers who teach in Inclusive classes are willing to create lessons that can be adapted to the needs of children in the classroom. Teaching in class with heterogeneous students is a challenge during the teacher. The ability of teachers to implement adaptive learning models will continue to be carried out if there are equal work and serious assistance from professionals, such as special education, school principals, and school supervisors.
