Abstract

Sexual development is a natural aspect of human growth experienced by all students, including Deaf and Hard-of Hearing (DHH) students. However, communication barriers among DHH students may limit their understanding of privacy boundaries and social norms, thereby increasing the risk of inappropriate sexual behaviors. This study aimed to identify the types of observable sexual behaviors among DHH students enrolled in special schools in West Sumatra, Indonesia. A descriptive–exploratory design was employed. The participants consisted of seven teachers from special schools who taught DHH students. Data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques were applied to examine the data. The findings indicate that students exhibited various forms of sexual behavior, including non-verbal sexual behaviors, verbal sexual behaviors, self or other endangering sexual behaviors, and extreme behaviors. All participating teachers reported instances of students touching others’ bodies without permission (100%) and pressing or leaning their body against others (75%). These results underscore the importance of targeted sexuality education and communication support for students with DHH within special school settings

Abstract

Limited access to auditory input can create significant barriers for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students, particularly in language acquisition and social communication. This study aims to systematically review empirical research on the use of AAC systems in enhancing the communication abilities of hearing-impaired students. Articles were retrieved from the Scopus database and by using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses procedures. A total of five empirical studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed through qualitative analysis. Results showed that Augmentative and Alternative Communication treatments led to gains in initiations, single-word spoken-language production, receptive and expressive vocabulary, single-word reading accuracy, social communication skills. Results found were positive with both low and high technology approaches, although benefited most when used in conjunction with speech-language therapy and early intervention programs. Implementation obstacles included insufficient support for training teachers and providing places to go online. In general, these results indicated that Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems contributed to the communication development process, enhancing language acquisition skills and serving social participation in students with hearing disabilities. It was suggested that additional larger-scaled empirical studies with experimental designs should be conducted to reinforce the existing evidence.

Abstract

Qur'anic education for deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students is a critical dimension of inclusive Islamic education yet remains underserved due to the predominantly auditory nature of traditional instruction. This study systematically analyzes instructional strategies, pedagogical methods, effectiveness outcomes, implementation challenges, and future recommendations for Qur'anic learning among DHH students. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis was employed as the methodological framework. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and screened in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, yielding five empirical articles that satisfied the predefined inclusion criteria. Analysis proceeded through bibliometric mapping and thematic synthesis. Findings reveal that Hijaiyah sign language and staged instructional approaches constitute the predominant strategies, with visual and multisensory methods demonstrating significant effectiveness in improving Qur'anic literacy encompassing reading, tajwid comprehension, and memorization. However, instructional effectiveness is conditioned by teacher competence, availability of appropriate learning media, and environmental support. Bibliometric analysis further indicates that technological integration remains nascent, representing a substantive gap and opportunity for future inquiry. This study contributes a structured scientific synthesis to the field of inclusive Islamic education and underscores the need for technology-driven pedagogical innovations, adaptive curricula, and systematic teacher preparation programs.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the features, efficacy, and adaptations of mindfulness-based interventions to enhance regulation of emotion and reduce anxiety in students with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing conditions. We performed a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis which was based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Through the Scopus database and relevant articles, 563 results were generated. Quality synthesis of data 10 studies were selected following removal of duplicates and application of inclusion criteria. Results suggest that mindfulness-based interventions contribute to improved emotion regulation, specifically increases in emotional awareness, self-control and adaptive coping strategies among Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students. These interventions may also indirectly reduce anxiety by strengthening internal psychological qualities. Nevertheless, most of the interventions are not carried out using just mindfulness but through wider approaches such as psycho-education and emotional intelligence. Additionally, the accessibility adaptations, such as visual supports and sign language (SL) use, seem to have a great impact on the efficacy of mindfulness interventions across different disabilities or conditions. While these results are promising, the literature reflects an absence of experimental studies and treatment protocols tailored to this population. Future research should seek to create effective, low resource counselling protocols suited to the specific needs of students with Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing conditions.

Abstract

Geometry learning for students with intellectual disabilities requires media that can present the concept of plane figures in a concrete and engaging way due to their limitations in understanding abstract material. One alternative that can be used is digital geometry media that combines visual and interactive elements to support the learning process. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of digital geometry media in improving the ability to recognize plane figures in students with intellectual disabilities. The study used an experimental method with a Single Subject Research (SSR) type A-B design. The subject of the study was a ninth-grade student with intellectual disabilities at the Bima Padang Special Needs School for Autism who had not been able to recognize plane figures. Data were collected using a checklist test and analyzed through visual analysis within and between conditions. The results showed that the student's ability score increased from 35.7% in the baseline phase to 92.8% at the end of the intervention phase. The analysis also showed a level change of 42.8% with an overlap percentage between conditions of 0%. These findings indicate that digital geometry media is effective in improving the ability to recognize plane figures in students with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

This study was conducted to address the limited availability of learning media for teaching toothbrushing skills to children with mild intellectual disabilities in Special Schools (SLB). Teachers generally rely on lectures and direct demonstrations, making it difficult for students to understand the correct sequence of toothbrushing independently. Therefore, a structured and visually engaging learning medium is needed. This study aimed to develop Panda Gigi (Guide to Brushing and Caring for Teeth) as a learning medium for teachers and to evaluate its validity and practicality. The research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Validation was conducted by material and media experts, while practicality was assessed through teacher responses at SLB Bakti Padang. The results showed validity scores of 69.09% from the material expert and 86.15% from the media expert. The practicality test yielded a score of 87.69%. These findings indicate that Panda Gigi is a valid and practical medium for teaching toothbrushing skills to children with mild intellectual disabilities

Abstract

Physical Education (PJOK) learning for students with intellectual disabilities requires structured, varied activities and opportunities for repeated practice because conventional movement learning methods tend to be less able to maintain attention and accommodate their learning needs. This study examines the application of circuit games in improving fundamental movement skills in PJOK learning for students with intellectual disabilities at SLB N Mandailing Natal. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) model of Kemmis and Taggart, which was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of four meetings. Two students with intellectual disabilities were selected purposively based on an initial assessment that showed obstacles in the locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative aspects of movement. Data were collected through observation, performance tests, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively quantitatively using percentages with a success indicator of ≥60% per student. The results of the initial assessment showed that student B obtained a score of 43% and student R 50%. After the first cycle, the scores increased to 67% and 80%. In the second cycle, media modifications were carried out by simplifying obstacles, using more attractive and appropriate tools according to students' abilities, and gradually reducing teacher assistance. As a result, student B achieved 97% and student R 100%. These findings indicate that circuit games effectively improve fundamental motor skills through activities that are adaptive, gradual, and appropriate to the learning characteristics of students with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the difficulties faced by two 7th-grade students with hearing impairments A and K at SLB Negeri Pembina Palembang in crafting songket fabric scrap necklaces, as well as the limited use of instructional media for vocational skills. The study aimed to improve vocational skills in making these souvenirs through the use of video tutorials. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) method was employed, conducted over two cycles each comprising four meetings following the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects consisted of the two students with hearing impairments and one classroom teacher. Data were collected through skills tests, observation, documentation, and reflection, and subsequently analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results indicated that the students' initial skills fell into the low category, with a mastery level of 0%. Following the intervention using video tutorials in Cycle I, achievement rose to 89% for Student A and 90% for Student K; performance improved further in Cycle II after adjustments were made based on reflections from Cycle I. Thus, video tutorials can enhance the vocational skills of students with hearing impairments in crafting necklaces from songket fabric scraps.
