Abstract

This study aims to facilitate the identification of students in elementary school who have specific learning dissability. This study employs a qualitative approach to the literature review process. The study collected data from books and articles that discuss identifying specific learning dissability. The data collection technique is based on a literature review of scientific books and journals and interviews with professional practitioners and academics, subsequently validated. The findings of this study are presented in the form of a draft identification guide for elementary school-aged children with specific learning dissability. Teachers and parents can easily use the draft guidelines for identifying children with specific learning dissability because they are presented concisely and clearly that refers to the theory and validated by four validators, including psychologists, special education lecturers, and inclusive school and special education teachers. The identification guideline draft for children with specific learning dissability in elementary school-age includes procedures for identifying children with specific learning dissability in general and instruments for identifying children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. This procedure was proposed to assist teachers and parents in identifying children with specific learning dissability in elementary school.

Abstract

Children with hearing impairment have difficulty conveying what they want to express by speaking because of speech and language development barriers, so they can only express it through speech in a minimal voice. This study aims to determine the effect of using role playing to improve the articulation ability of children with hearing impairment, on the grounds that conversations with friends during role playing can improve their expressive language skills (articulation skills to communicate). Research using role playing for children with hearing impairment to improve their articulation skills is successful because intensive oral communication exercises can make children train their lip muscles so that later they will get used to speaking/articulate when communicating with people who can hear. Researchers recommend role playing can be used as an effort to improve the articulation ability of children with hearing impairment.

Abstract

The intense job competition and the low absorption rate of special needs school graduates in the business and industrial sectors are allegedly due to the ineffective implementation of the link-and-match concept. This study aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by special needs schools in preparing students for the workforce through the Teaching Factory (TEFA) model. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected from two principals and six vocational skills teachers through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results indicate that teacher competence in mastering vocational skills remains low, the curriculum oriented toward Competency-Based Training (CBT) and Production-Based Training (PBT) has not been properly accommodated, and infrastructure and financial resources are limited. However, several opportunities were identified, including principals’ good understanding of the TEFA concept, extensive partnerships with related institutions (Vocational High Schools and industries), vocational skills programs developed based on needs assessments, and vocational skills roadmaps aligned with school visions and missions. The study concludes that the main challenges faced by special needs schools revolve around human resources, financial resources, service programs, and infrastructure, while opportunities exist in human resources and service programs. These findings highlight that special needs schools continue to face significant obstacles in effectively implementing the TEFA model to prepare students for employment. Therefore, a proper and comprehensive analysis is necessary to identify operational strategies that can minimize challenges and maximize opportunities for special needs education in implementing an adaptive and accommodating TEFA model.
