Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital identification instrument-based Decision Support System (DSS) for mentally disabled children. First-year research consisted of three stages, namely (a) instrument need analysis, (b) instrument prototype development, (c) instrument validation. The study involved 20 special schools taken by purposive sampling from eight districts/cities in Central Java. The method of collecting data at the needs analysis stage uses a questionnaire given to 32 respondents (teachers and principals). At the stage of prototype development, data collection is done by using a web-based DSS development technique. Furthermore, the instrument validation stage is done through professional judgment with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) techniques involving special education experts, information and technology experts, psychometric experts, language experts, psychologists, and users/teachers. Data analysis was performed with quantitative descriptive and qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of the study at the needs analysis stage showed that 75% of respondents had difficulty in compiling identification instruments for mentally disabled children; all respondents (100%) needed the development of identification instruments for mentally disabled children, and 50% of respondents chose identification instruments in digital form. At the instrument development stage, mentally disabled children's characteristics based on the previous DSM-V criteria are described in the indicators. This digital instrument's identification results are still limited to indications, so that it needs to be continued with more in-depth assessment by authorized professionals. Expert validation results at the instrument validation stage indicate that this digital identification instrument for mentally disabled children meets the eligibility criteria with improvements in language, web appearance, and the instrument's technical operation. Furthermore, the instrument prototype is repaired and will be continued with small-scale and wide-scale trials.

Abstract: Parental Involvement of Children with Special Needs: Insights from Epstein’s Six Domains Framework. Objectives: This study investigated the role of parents of children with disabilities in inclusive school settings. Methods: Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through focus group discussions (FGD) to 17 parents for children with special needs and analyzed using ATLAS.ti software, following an interactive analysis model comprising data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification.  Findings: Findings highlight the critical role parents play across six domains of involvement, as defined by Epstein's framework: creating supportive home environments (Parenting), engaging in clear communication with the school (Communicating), volunteering at the school (Volunteering), supporting learning at home (Learning at Home), participating in school-related decision-making (Decision-Making), and collaborating with the community to coordinate resources (Collaborating with the Community). These areas of involvement enable parents to actively contribute to inclusion in educational settings.  Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of comprehensive parental engagement of children with disabilities within inclusive schools. Keywords: role of parents, disabilities, inclusive schools.

Abstract

Vocational Education for Students with Disabilities: A Qualitative Study of Teacher Challenges and Expectations. Objectives: This research aimed to analyze the challenges and expectations in providing vocational education for students with disabilities in both special and inclusive vocational high schools in the Solo Raya region, Indonesia. It sought to understand the barriers faced by educators and explore their expectations for improvements in vocational training for students with disabilities. Methods: This qualitative research employed a phenomenological design, focusing on 20 vocational education teachers from both special and inclusive vocational high schools. Data was collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with semi-structured, open-ended questions guided by a set of research-specific themes. The data analysis followed a phenomenological analytic framework. Findings: This study identified several key challenges faced by educators in delivering vocational education to students with disabilities, including the lack of a specialized curriculum, insufficient teacher training, inadequate resources and infrastructure, and limited support for job placement after training. Furthermore, teachers highlighted the need for professional development opportunities and improvement in schools' accessibility. Moreover, stronger partnerships between stakeholders were seen as crucial for enhancing vocational education for students with disabilities. These barriers hinder students’ opportunities to gain essential vocational skills and transition successfully into the workforce in the Solo Raya Region. Conclusion: Vocational education for students with disabilities faces significant challenges; however, there are clear expectations for improvements in teacher training, infrastructure, and collaboration among stakeholders. Addressing these issues will not only enhance vocational education for students with disabilities but also empower them to gain greater independence, improve their quality of life, and contribute more fully to society. This provides critical insights into the context of Solo Raya, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these gaps. Keywords: challenges, expectation, vocational education, students with disabilities.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low learning outcomes of students with moderate mental disabilities in Mathematics subjects in number elements, especially counting material. Students consisting of 3 students have different abilities. Students A were found not to know the order of numbers correctly. Meanwhile, R students do not yet know the number of numbers or the concept of quantity, while Ri students do not yet know numbers, so learning media are needed that are able to accommodate the learning needs of all students, namely in the form of educational and interactive learning media. The aim of this research is to find out whether the use of Interactive Educational Application (APEI) media is able to improve numeracy learning outcomes in moderately mentally retarded students. The research method used is Class Action Research which is carried out in 2 cycles, namely cycle I and cycle II. Class Action Research is research carried out by teachers in their own class through the self-reflection stage with the aim of improving the learning that has been carried out so that students learning achievements increase. Based on the results of research that has been conducted, the results were obtained that by using APEI students' learning outcomes increased. This can be proven by the percentage score obtained by student R in cycle I a percentage score of 40% is obtained in cycle II a percentage score of 60% is obtained. Meanwhile, students A in cycle I received a score of 30% in cycle II a percentage score of 70% was obtained. Ri learners in cycle I scored 20% in cycle II scored 40%.
