Abstract

This study is motivated by the low quality of mathematics learning for students with special needs caused by the need for teaching materials tailored to their needs and the limitations of teachers in using inclusive learning strategies. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a community service initiative designed to improve mathematics learning for students with special needs in SLB. This study used a developmental research method with a pretest-posttest design on one group of research subjects, involving teachers and students with special needs as test subjects. The program involved 20 students and 4 teachers. The results show the initiative's effectiveness in improving math education for special needs students. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, while the instruments used included observation guidelines, interview sheets, and questionnaires for teachers and students. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques and paired t-tests to measure changes in teachers' understanding and skills and improvements in students' motivation and learning outcomes. This study concludes that inclusive education interventions based on special learning aids effectively overcome learning barriers for students with special needs. The implication of this study is the need for further development in teacher training and the provision of specialized teaching materials to support inclusive education in all schools.

Abstract

Numeracy is the ability to understand and use numbers and mathematical concepts in everyday life. Santri in An Nahdhoh may have problems with their numeracy skills due to various factors, including limited access to quality educational resources, traditional teaching methods that may not effectively foster understanding of mathematics, potential curriculum priorities that prioritize religious education over mathematics, language barriers, and a lack of tailored support for individual skills gaps. Students' willingness to learn numeracy skills can also be influenced by socio-economic limitations and cultural attitudes in the Santri community. Therefore, this service research aims to provide comprehensive guidance, especially to An-Nahdhah, which in the end can improve numeracy results among students. This initiative involves the participation of 25 students. This research is quantitative in nature with data analysis techniques using the t-test. Community service is important and relevant in several ways, including increasing numeracy literacy, application of religion, daily living skills, developing analytical skills, preparation for further education, increasing competitiveness, and introducing technology. This community service includes the following stages: preparation, assessment, implementation and evaluation. An-Nahdlah's numeracy support program for undocumented children offers several great benefits, particularly in helping
