Abstract

The phase transition from formal education to living in society for students with intellectual disabilities still leaves many problems. At the high school level, academic learning should support the skills given to students with intellectual disabilities during the transition period. Assessment is an important part that a teacher must carry out before preparing a lesson plan. A qualified assessment instrument will help teachers in the process of finding student learning needs. This study aims to develop a functional academic assessment instrument that is valid and practical to support data collection for learning purposes. The development model used is the ADDIE model with the Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate stages. The results showed that the assessment instruments in the functional academic field consisted of the aspects of reading, writing, and arithmetic accompanied by guidelines for their use. The results of expert validation and product practicality tests carried out on the developed instruments are categorized as very valid, practical, and effective. Therefore, the instrument can be used as a guide in assessing learning needs in transition programs for students with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

Students with intellectual disabilities need vocational skills instruction that is concrete, incremental, and meaningful to daily life in order to achieve functional independence. This study aims to describe the implementation of task analysis teaching in learning to make salted eggs using the soaking technique, a processing method that relies on measuring tools and standardized proportions and is therefore potentially easier for students to replicate than conventional techniques such as ash-coating or salt-paste application. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design, involving 12 students with intellectual disabilities and their accompanying skills teacher. Data were collected through task analysis observation using a structured performance sheet, semi-structured interviews with the teacher, and process documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, with trustworthiness strengthened through source and method triangulation. The findings show that students with intellectual disabilities were able to independently master task-analysis steps standardized through measuring tools (such as sorting, cleaning, and dissolving the brine solution), while the step requiring high fine-motor coordination (shell sanding) required gradual scaffolding to improve precision and reduce the risk of failure.
