Abstract

Inequality in access to education in Indonesia remains a serious challenge, particularly for marginalized groups such as children from poor families, people with disabilities, and indigenous communities. Although the national legal framework guarantees the right to education, the reality on the ground shows that various structural and cultural barriers still hinder the creation of substantial educational equity. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at an inclusive public school in a rural area to explore the implementation of social inclusion in the local context. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically to uncover the dynamics of marginalized student participation, teacher readiness, and local community support. The results show that despite the commitment to inclusion, its implementation is still hampered by minimal teacher training, a lack of disability-friendly infrastructure, and the dominance of homogenous values in the learning system. However, the involvement of local actors and the use of a community-based approach have proven effective in strengthening the application of inclusive principles contextually. This research emphasizes that social inclusion is not merely an administrative effort but requires comprehensive structural and cultural changes. Therefore, a transformative and human rights-based education strategy is needed to realize an education system that is equitable, participatory, and truly respects diversity.

Abstract

The development of empathy and self-regulation in elementary school students is a major urgency in responding to the socio-emotional challenges of contemporary education. This study aims to explore the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) based on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as a transformative approach in shaping students' emotional skills. Using a qualitative method with a case study design, this study involved fourth-fifth grade students, teachers, and parents through observation techniques, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and exploratory questionnaires. The results show that the application of AR with interactive socio-emotional scenarios can stimulate empathy, increase self-awareness, and develop emotional regulation strategies through immersive experiences. AR acts as an affective medium that strengthens reflective and embodied learning, enabling students to experience and understand emotional dynamics in complex social situations. This study confirms that the effectiveness of AR-SEL learning is highly dependent on the quality of instructional design and teacher competence in facilitating socio-emotional values digitally. Therefore, support for educators' digital-affective literacy and the integration of a character-oriented curriculum are essential prerequisites. These findings conclude that the AR-SEL learning model has great potential to integrate cognitive and affective dimensions simultaneously in basic education.
