Abstract

Inclusive education has emerged as a critical initiative in promoting equitable learning opportunities for all students, including those with special needs. One of the central challenges in implementing inclusive education lies in identifying and supporting slow learners, particularly in mathematics, where learning difficulties often remain undetected or are misdiagnosed. This study investigates the awareness, experiences and support needs of senior secondary school (SMA/MA/SMK) mathematics teachers in Indonesia regarding inclusive education. The focus of the research is to discover and address the needs of slow learners. A survey was conducted of 173 mathematics teachers from various regions across the country to find out what they know about inclusive education, how they interact with students with special needs, and methods for identifying students who are slow learners in the classroom. The results show that although many teachers understand the importance of inclusive education, formal programs for inclusive education are still limited in many schools. Most teachers can identify various difficulties that students may face. Teachers also say that diagnostic tools are needed to help identify students who are experiencing math difficulties. They emphasized that relying on subjective observations without adequate resources is a very difficult problem. This study shows that the development of specific diagnostic tools is essential to support and identify slow learners early on. In line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), which aims to ensure that all students receive an equitable and inclusive education, regardless of their difficulties, this research supports the broader goal of achieving equitable quality education. To support inclusive education, raising awareness, increasing access to diagnostic tools, and targeted pedagogical support are all important steps. This is especially true for teaching mathematics.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship contributes to economic growth, making it an important factor in advancing society and the economy in the present time. The significance of innovation and entrepreneurship in the current era necessitates that the younger generation understands the subject. This understanding can be achieved through entrepreneurship courses offered in higher education. Based on this, several universities have implemented policies that make entrepreneurship courses mandatory for all students. This research aims to explore in-depth the perception of students, specifically those not majoring in economics, management, business, or social sciences, regarding the entrepreneurship course and the university policy regarding the requirement to take it. The study adopts a qualitative approach using focus group discussion (FGD). The researcher, along with five students from the same university, discusses the learning outcomes of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship course and the university policy regarding the mandatory nature of the course. The FGD generates several points related to the learning outcomes of the course. These include students' ability to comprehend the concepts and principles of entrepreneurship, their ability to generate ideas for business creation, their capacity to develop innovative business plans, and the appropriateness of making the Innovation and Entrepreneurship course mandatory as it benefits all students, including those not majoring in economics, management, business, or social sciences.
