Abstract

Fine motor skill deficits significantly impact academic readiness in preschool children, particularly those at risk for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Traditional interventions often fail to accommodate the unique learning characteristics of children with ADHD, necessitating innovative approaches that integrate multisensory engagement with structured skill development. This study investigated the effectiveness of collage activities using loose parts materials in enhancing fine motor skills among preschool children at risk for ADHD. A classroom action research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model was employed over four weeks at TK Negeri 1 Sangatta Selatan, Indonesia. Eight children aged 4-5 years with ADHD risk factors participated in two intervention cycles, each comprising two collage sessions using diverse loose parts materials. Fine motor skills were assessed across six domains using structured observation checklists with four-point rating scales. Data collection included quantitative assessments, photographic documentation, and teacher interviews. Substantial improvements were observed across all fine motor domains. Pre-intervention assessment revealed that only 25% of participants achieved competent performance levels (BSH/BSB). Following the two-cycle intervention, 100% of children demonstrated competent fine motor skills across all assessed domains. Participants showed enhanced cutting precision, improved pressure control in material adherence, increased scissor manipulation stability, extended attention spans, greater independence in task completion, and improved creativity with precision. Qualitative observations indicated reduced off-task behaviors and increased peer cooperation. The findings demonstrate that collage activities with loose parts materials effectively address fine motor deficits in children at risk for ADHD. The intervention's success supports loose parts theory and provides evidence for inclusive classroom-based approaches that simultaneously enhance motor competencies and attention regulation. The results have significant implications for early childhood educators seeking practical, evidence-based strategies for supporting diverse learners.

Abstract

This classroom action research investigated the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving advanced reading skills among fifth-grade students with learning difficulties. Seven students at SDN A Muara Bengkal who scored below minimum competency criteria (KKM=70) participated in this study. The research employed Kemmis and McTaggart's cyclical model across two complete intervention cycles, incorporating pre- and post-assessments, systematic observations, and teacher interviews. Data analysis utilized both quantitative methods (descriptive statistics and percentage improvements) and qualitative approaches (thematic analysis of observations and interviews). Results demonstrated substantial improvement in reading achievement, with mean scores increasing from 47.14 at baseline to 63.57 after Cycle I and 72.14 after Cycle II, representing a total gain of 25 points. Five of seven students (71%) achieved or exceeded competency standards, with notable enhancements in critical thinking, collaborative engagement, and academic confidence. However, two students with severe reading disabilities showed minimal progress, indicating that PBL effectiveness varies based on individual learning profiles. The findings suggest that PBL serves as an effective pedagogical approach within multi-tiered inclusive education systems when implemented with culturally relevant content, differentiated scaffolding, and iterative refinement, though intensive individualized interventions remain necessary for students with profound learning difficulties.

Abstract

Inclusive education in early childhood settings requires effective principal leadership, yet empirical evidence on management strategies in developing contexts remains limited. This study examined how a kindergarten principal manages inclusive education in a multicultural, resource-constrained environment. A qualitative case study was conducted at YPPSB Kindergarten, East Kutai, Indonesia, from January to June 2025. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, special education teachers, and parents, complemented by participant observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model. Findings revealed that the principal implemented comprehensive strategies across three dimensions: (1) participatory planning involving multi-stakeholder collaboration and individualized education plan development, (2) collaborative implementation through co-teaching models and differentiated instruction, and (3) systematic sustainability mechanisms including institutionalized inclusion teams, strategic external partnerships, and diversified funding. The principal integrated local cultural values into inclusive practices while establishing formal structures ensuring program continuity. These strategies exemplify transformational and distributed leadership principles, extending inclusive education scholarship into early childhood contexts. The study demonstrates how principals can leverage community partnerships and cultural resources to address implementation challenges in resource-constrained settings, bridging the documented policy-practice gap in inclusive education.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education for deaf learners remains limited due to the scarcity of instructional materials that match their visual learning needs and inclusive pedagogical requirements. Existing resources in Indonesian Special Schools (SLBs) are often generic, text-heavy, and insufficient for supporting hands-on vocational learning. This study aims to address this gap by developing and validating an ecoprint-based instructional guide designed to strengthen entrepreneurial competencies among deaf students. Using a modified Borg and Gall Research and Development model, four stages were implemented: needs analysis, instructional design, prototype development, and expert validation. The resulting guide integrates ecoprint techniques with visually rich, sign-language-supported instructional strategies. Content validation by special education and entrepreneurship experts yielded scores above 90%, while media validation confirmed strong accessibility and visual clarity. Trial implementation indicated notable improvements in students’ engagement, independence, creativity, and understanding of entrepreneurial processes. The guide also enhanced teachers’ ability to deliver structured, culturally grounded, and sustainable entrepreneurship instruction. This study demonstrates that ecoprint is an effective medium for experiential, inclusive, and environmentally oriented entrepreneurial learning. Future research should explore the guide’s long-term impact, its adaptation for students with other disabilities, and its potential integration with digital and community-based entrepreneurship models.

Abstract

This study aims to obtain the characteristics of the appropriate creative process in art therapy. Through this descriptive analysis, the characteristics of the appropriate work created through the art therapy process will be discovered. The main focus of the study is to analyze the paintings of autistic individuals studied through the art therapy process. This study used a descriptive qualitative research method, namely analyzing the works of 9 autistic children in Yogyakarta, Bandung, and Jakarta. The main focus of the study was to collect qualitative data through interviews, questionnaires, and observations covering the process of representation of the work, namely: (1) the process of objectification, (2) the process of symbolization, and (3) the process of expression. The technique of analyzing the painting is related to the use of symbols and ways of expressing. The results of the study show that the process of creating the work is carried out through an unexpected process, achieving visual surprise (aha erlebnis), honesty in expressing inner thoughts (silent expression), incidental and spontaneous expression (spontaneous expression). However, in some of the individual works studied, visual achievements were found that did not reflect honesty and spontaneity (spontaneous expression). This is likely due to the role of teacher and parent intervention that directed towards a good final result so that it did not reflect the honesty of the child's work

Abstract

General Background: Menstrual hygiene education is essential for students with mild intellectual disabilities because they often experience difficulties in understanding puberty and practicing self-care independently. Specific Background: Pre-menstrual learning in special education remains limited, incidental, and lacks structured visual teaching materials. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies have rarely developed comprehensive modules that combine conceptual understanding, practical skills, teacher guidance, and integrated evaluation. Aims: This study developed an Intervention Mapping-based pre-menstrual learning module to improve students’ menstrual hygiene understanding and skills. Results: Needs analysis showed that students required concrete, visual, gradual, and skill-oriented materials, while teachers needed systematic guidance. The developed student module and teacher guide were rated Good to Excellent by experts. Initial trials showed positive responses, and paired sample t-test results indicated significant gains in understanding and skills. Novelty: The study applies Intervention Mapping to adaptive reproductive health teaching materials. Implications: The module supports structured, accessible, and behavior-oriented menstrual hygiene learning in special education. Highlights• Students required concrete, visual, gradual, and skill-oriented learning materials.• Expert validation placed the student module and teacher guide in feasible categories.• Post-test results showed significant gains in understanding and practical hygiene skills.
