The Implementation of Teaching and Learning Process in Inclusive Education: Case Study in SDN Teguhan 1, Ngawi Regency, East Java, Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the teaching and learning process at SDN Teguhan 1 Ngawi Regency as an inclusive school. The research respondents were six General Education Teachers (GE Teacher), in which two teachers had attended training as Special Education Teachers (SEN Teacher). The research method used was descriptive quantitative, with data collection techniques using a questionnaire containing 17 statements that had been tested for reliability. The aspects of the teaching and learning process studied were; 1) Roles of teachers, 2) Student involvement, 3) Learning materials, 4) Learning media, 5) Learning methods, and 6) Evaluation of learning. The results of observations using the Guttman scale showed a score of 51.8% which means the school is quite good in carrying out the teaching and learning process in the inclusive class but still showed a range far enough to reach the 100% target. Mutual commitment is needed between school members, experts, and parents to realize the teaching and learning process in schools which can ultimately help children achieve their learning goals and Teachers should have the willingness to adopt long-live learning to improve their skills to teach special children in the classroom.
