Abstract

Abstract: Parental Involvement of Children with Special Needs: Insights from Epstein’s Six Domains Framework. Objectives: This study investigated the role of parents of children with disabilities in inclusive school settings. Methods: Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through focus group discussions (FGD) to 17 parents for children with special needs and analyzed using ATLAS.ti software, following an interactive analysis model comprising data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification.  Findings: Findings highlight the critical role parents play across six domains of involvement, as defined by Epstein's framework: creating supportive home environments (Parenting), engaging in clear communication with the school (Communicating), volunteering at the school (Volunteering), supporting learning at home (Learning at Home), participating in school-related decision-making (Decision-Making), and collaborating with the community to coordinate resources (Collaborating with the Community). These areas of involvement enable parents to actively contribute to inclusion in educational settings.  Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of comprehensive parental engagement of children with disabilities within inclusive schools. Keywords: role of parents, disabilities, inclusive schools.

Abstract

Vocational Education for Students with Disabilities: A Qualitative Study of Teacher Challenges and Expectations. Objectives: This research aimed to analyze the challenges and expectations in providing vocational education for students with disabilities in both special and inclusive vocational high schools in the Solo Raya region, Indonesia. It sought to understand the barriers faced by educators and explore their expectations for improvements in vocational training for students with disabilities. Methods: This qualitative research employed a phenomenological design, focusing on 20 vocational education teachers from both special and inclusive vocational high schools. Data was collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with semi-structured, open-ended questions guided by a set of research-specific themes. The data analysis followed a phenomenological analytic framework. Findings: This study identified several key challenges faced by educators in delivering vocational education to students with disabilities, including the lack of a specialized curriculum, insufficient teacher training, inadequate resources and infrastructure, and limited support for job placement after training. Furthermore, teachers highlighted the need for professional development opportunities and improvement in schools' accessibility. Moreover, stronger partnerships between stakeholders were seen as crucial for enhancing vocational education for students with disabilities. These barriers hinder students’ opportunities to gain essential vocational skills and transition successfully into the workforce in the Solo Raya Region. Conclusion: Vocational education for students with disabilities faces significant challenges; however, there are clear expectations for improvements in teacher training, infrastructure, and collaboration among stakeholders. Addressing these issues will not only enhance vocational education for students with disabilities but also empower them to gain greater independence, improve their quality of life, and contribute more fully to society. This provides critical insights into the context of Solo Raya, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these gaps. Keywords: challenges, expectation, vocational education, students with disabilities.
