Abstract

Inclusive education at the senior high school level presents complex challenges that require active collaboration between parents and teachers to ensure the academic success and social development of students with special educational needs (SEN). However, in the Indonesian context, such collaboration is often limited due to socio-cultural barriers, lack of parental understanding, and insufficient institutional support. This study aims to explore how parent-teacher collaboration is implemented, the obstacles encountered, and its impact on inclusive education practices in senior high schools. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research was conducted over three months in two inclusive senior high schools in Indonesia through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while both parents and teachers recognize the importance of collaboration, its realization remains inconsistent, influenced by socio-economic disparities, lack of structured communication platforms, and varying levels of awareness about inclusive education. The study also highlights the role of school leadership and emotional connections in fostering effective partnerships. It concludes that improving collaboration requires institutional commitment, parental empowerment, and teacher capacity-building.

Abstract

Inclusive education has become a global priority to ensure equal learning opportunities for all students, including children with special needs. However, in many general school environments, the implementation of inclusive education remains a significant challenge, particularly due to the limited readiness of teachers. This study aims to explore the role of teachers in implementing inclusive education for children with special needs in general school settings. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis at three inclusive public primary schools in [Insert Location]. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, focusing on teachers' strategies, challenges, and institutional support. The findings reveal that while teachers generally have positive attitudes toward inclusion, many feel unprepared due to insufficient training and lack of resources. Teachers apply adaptive strategies, but systemic constraints, including limited collaboration and negative societal attitudes, hinder effective implementation. The study concludes that teachers play a pivotal yet constrained role in fostering inclusion, highlighting the need for enhanced training, structural support, and cultural change within schools. This research contributes to understanding the practical realities of inclusive education and offers insights for policymakers, school leaders, and teacher development programs.

Abstract

Inclusive education is increasingly recognized as a vital approach to ensuring equal access to quality education for all students, including those with special needs. However, many schools remain unprepared to implement inclusive practices effectively due to limited resources, lack of training, and insufficient systemic support. This research aims to explore strategies that can increase school readiness in accepting students with special needs through inclusive education. Using a qualitative research design, the study was conducted in three inclusive elementary schools in Indonesia over a three-month period. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, involving teachers, principals, special education coordinators, and parents. The findings reveal that teacher professional development, inclusive school leadership, adaptive learning environments, and strong parent-community engagement are key strategies that enhance readiness. Furthermore, the study highlights a positive shift in teacher attitudes through experience and reflection, promoting a more inclusive school culture. The conclusion emphasizes that readiness is not only a structural issue but also a cultural and attitudinal transformation process. This research contributes to the development of practical models for inclusive education in resource-constrained settings and provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and advocates aiming to foster more equitable and supportive learning environments.
