Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has introduced greater flexibility and autonomy in instructional practices, including in special education contexts. This study aims to examine how the Merdeka Curriculum is implemented in English language instruction at Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) under the Bina Insani Firaas Foundation in Mojokerto, East Java. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving English teachers, school principals, and a foundation leader. The findings indicate that curriculum flexibility enables teachers to adapt English instruction to students’ diverse learning needs by simplifying materials, adjusting learning pace, and employing visual, multimodal, and experiential teaching strategies. These practices support student engagement, participation, and confidence in English learning activities. However, the study also identifies challenges related to limited inclusive learning materials, insufficient access to assistive technology, and a lack of targeted professional development for English teachers in SLB settings. Institutional support and teacher collaboration emerge as important factors that facilitate the implementation of inclusive English language instruction. This study highlights that the Merdeka Curriculum holds strong potential to support inclusive English language teaching when accompanied by adequate resources, professional support, and collaborative efforts among educational stakeholders. The findings contribute empirical insights into curriculum implementation in special education contexts and offer practical implications for the development of inclusive English language teaching practices.

Abstract

Perkembangan pembelajaran digital menghadirkan peluang baru dalam menciptakan proses belajar yang lebih humanis dan inklusif, khususnya bagi siswa berkebutuhan khusus. Kenyamanan belajar menjadi aspek penting dalam pendidikan khusus karena sangat memengaruhi keterlibatan, motivasi, dan keberlanjutan proses belajar. Namun, sebagian besar kajian tentang pembelajaran digital masih berfokus pada aspek efektivitas atau hasil belajar, sementara implikasinya terhadap kenyamanan belajar siswa berkebutuhan khusus belum banyak dikaji secara mendalam. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implikasi pembelajaran digital berbasis Quizizz terhadap kenyamanan belajar siswa berkebutuhan khusus. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan menitikberatkan pada praktik pembelajaran dan pengalaman belajar siswa dalam konteks pendidikan khusus. Data diperoleh melalui observasi pembelajaran, dokumentasi, serta refleksi pendidik terhadap proses penggunaan Quizizz dalam kegiatan belajar. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran digital berbasis Quizizz berimplikasi positif terhadap kenyamanan belajar siswa berkebutuhan khusus. Penggunaan media digital yang interaktif, visual, dan fleksibel membantu menciptakan suasana belajar lebih aman, menyenangkan, serta mengurangi tekanan emosional dalam proses pembelajaran. Selain itu, peran pendidik dalam mengelola pembelajaran secara adaptif menjadi faktor kunci dalam memaksimalkan nilai humanis dari pembelajaran digital. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pembelajaran digital tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana teknis, tetapi juga sebagai pendekatan pedagogis yang mendukung kenyamanan dan kebermaknaan belajar siswa berkebutuhan khusus.

Abstract

Teaching English for students with special needs requires supportive and adaptive instructional strategies that consider learners’ emotional and cognitive conditions. In special education contexts, conventional teaching approaches often limit student engagement and learning comfort. This study aimed to explore the use of Quizizz as a supportive digital strategy in teaching English for students with special needs. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The study was conducted in a special school involving students with special needs and an English teacher. Data were collected through classroom observations, documentation, and teacher reflections during the implementation of Quizizz in English learning activities. The data were analyzed qualitatively to identify patterns related to student engagement, learning comfort, and instructional adaptation. The findings show that the use of Quizizz created a more supportive and engaging learning atmosphere. Students demonstrated higher participation and enthusiasm during English lessons, while the interactive features of Quizizz helped reduce learning anxiety. In addition, Quizizz allowed the teacher to adjust instructional strategies according to students’ abilities, supporting inclusive and student-centered learning. Therefore, Quizizz can be considered an effective supportive digital strategy in teaching English for students with special needs.
