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

Teachers in elementary schools have a strategic role in providing social guidance to students to accept the presence of Students with Disability (SwD). The aims of this study were to determine the social attitudes of students, how teachers provide social guidance for non-disability students regarding the presence of disabled students in class/school and describe the challenges faced by teachers. This study uses a mixed method approach (Quantitative and Qualitative). This research method uses a data collection technique, namely a questionnaire distributed via Google Form to teachers in Indonesia. Through the questionnaire, quantitative data (percentage) and qualitative data were obtained regarding the challenges faced. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. Respondents in this study were elementary school teachers in inclusive elementary schools. A total of 173 elementary school teachers from 58 districts and cities. The results of the study showed that there were still many social attitudes of students towards the presence of SwD in inclusive elementary schools that were not good. Students are less able to accept the presence of SwD (51%). Most teachers have a way of guiding the form of advice to students (75%). Teachers have difficulty in providing social guidance to students with SwD. In providing social guidance, teachers face challenges of lack of information and teachers' ignorance about children with disabilities; teachers have difficulty in creating guidance models to help students who can’t yet accept SwD, increasing the independence of SwD, lack of training on guidance and counselling for SwD and dealing with parents.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were: (1) to analyse the characteristics of focused attention behaviour during science learning in ADHD students; (2) to identify learning strategies implemented by teachers to improve focused attention in ADHD students; and (3) to analyse the improvement of focused attention. The method used was the Mix Method Sequential Exploratory. This study was conducted at the Sunan Kudus Special Elementary School (SES). Data collection was conducted through observation and interviews. The research instruments were observation sheets and interview sheets. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, while quantitative data were analysed using t-tests and n-gain tests. The results of the study indicate that the characteristics of the focused-attention pattern among ADHD students are that they always respond to distractions in their learning environment. Students can complete assignments, but are unable to avoid distractions in their surroundings, which often disrupts their focused attention. The learning strategy implemented involves the teacher developing several practical approaches, intuitively and contextually, to manage student attention during learning. Science learning is designed to activate students in observation and discussion activities. The results of the t-test show a t value of -12.0, which is smaller than 0.05, indicating a difference in the focus of student attention before and after science learning with the teacher-implemented strategies. The results of the group N-Gain analysis show an average N-Gain obtained of 0.103, which is in the low category. This low N-Gain value confirms that the learning intervention has not produced substantial improvements in student attention and focus, indicating that more varied and contextual learning strategies are needed.

Abstract

Early literacy is a fundamental skill for academic success, especially in students with intellectual disabilities who often struggle to recognize letters and associate them with their sounds. This classroom action research aims to improve the ability to recognize vowel letters using letter card games among second-grade students with intellectual disabilities at SLB Negeri Karanganyar. The research was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The instructional media used was a set of vowel letter cards featuring symbols and familiar objects starting with the respective vowel sounds. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ ability to recognize vowel letters. The average score increased from 51.75% in the pre-cycle to 63% in cycle I and 87.25% in cycle II, reaching the “very good” category. The findings support the effectiveness of multisensory, interactive, and contextual learning through card games in increasing motivation, participation, and early literacy skills. This method also fosters a positive learning environment that promotes collaboration and emotional engagement. The results of this study provide practical recommendations for inclusive education practitioners to apply innovative and student-centered literacy strategies.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara keterlibatan orang tua dan ketakutan akan kegagalan dengan prokrastinasi akademik pada siswa kelas XI SMA Batik 1 Surakarta, dengan jumlah sampel 138 siswa melalui random cluster sampling. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah skala prokrastinasi akademik, skala keterlibatan orang tua, dan skala ketakutan akan kegagalan. Hasil analisis regresi berganda menunjukkan nilai Fhitung sebesar 46.592 (p<0,05) dan nilai R = 0.639. Nilai R2 adalah 0.408, menunjukkan total sumbangan efektif (SE) keterlibatan orang tua dan ketakutan akan kegagalan terhadap prokrastinasi akademik sebesar 40.82%, dengan SE keterlibatan orang tua sebesar 17.99% dan SE ketakutan akan kegagalan sebesar 22.83%. Secara parsial, terdapat hubungan antara keterlibatan orang tua dengan prokrastinasi akademik (p<0.05; rx1y = 0.412) dan terdapat hubungan antara ketakutan akan kegagalan dengan prokrastinasi akademik (p<0.05; rx1y = 0.467). Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, terdapat hubungan antara keterlibatan orang tua dan ketakutan akan kegagalan dengan prokrastinasi akademik pada siswa kelas XI SMA Batik 1 Surakarta, yang berarti semakin intens perilaku prokrastinasi akademik siswa, semakin tinggi juga keterlibatan orang tua dan ketakutan akan kegagalan pada siswa tersebut, demikian sebaliknya.
