Abstract

Inclusive education is an approach that aims to provide equal educational rights for all students, including those with special needs. This research aims to identify the challenges faced in the implementation of inclusive education in primary schools as well as opportunities that can be used to overcome them. This study uses qualitative methods with interviews, observations, and documentation approaches to obtain in-depth data on inclusive education practices in several elementary schools in Indonesia. The study results show that the main challenges faced include the lack of inclusive teacher training, limited support facilities for students with special needs, and the lack of effective social interaction in the school environment. However, some opportunities can be utilized, such as providing practice-based continuous training, improving disability-friendly facilities and infrastructure, establishing social support groups in schools, and using educational technology as an interactive learning tool. The conclusion of this study confirms that a practical training-based approach for teachers, investment in inclusive facilities, the development of social activities that support the interaction of students with special needs, and the use of digital media can increase the effectiveness of implementing inclusive education. The main contribution of this research is to provide new insights into practical strategies for addressing the challenges of inclusive education at the primary school level, which can be a reference for policymakers and education practitioners.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines the effectiveness of a technology-enhanced character education model based on the Balinese Tri Hita Karana philosophy in developing primary students’ competencies aligned with SDG 4. Using blended learning, it addresses gaps in research on culturally grounded technology integration in character education. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study involved 92 fifth-grade students from four primary schools in Karangasem, Bali, comparing a Technology-Enhanced Tri Hita Karana Character Education Model with conventional instruction. Using LMS, digital portfolios, gamification, and learning analytics, competencies were assessed through questionnaires, portfolios, and observations, with data analyzed using t-tests, ANCOVA, and thematic analysis. Main Findings: The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher graduate competency scores (M=81.89, SD=9.78) compared to the control group (M=70.02, SD=10.02), t(90)=5.98, p<.001, Cohen's d=1.25, indicating a large effect size. Analysis of digital portfolio data revealed enhanced self-regulated learning behaviors and deeper engagement with character development activities. Qualitative analysis showed that students appreciated the gamification elements and found the LMS-mediated learning more engaging and meaningful. Learning analytics data indicated consistent progress tracking and timely teacher interventions. Novelty/Originality of this study: The technology-enhanced Tri Hita Karana character education model effectively develops primary students’ competencies through culturally grounded digital pedagogy. This study strengthens evidence on technology-mediated character education and shows how local wisdom supports global educational goals. It highlights the need for teacher professional development and policy support to implement culturally responsive, technology-enhanced, and sustainable blended learning in primary education.
