Abstract

This study aimed to describe the implementation of physics learning on the sound topic for intellectually disabled students in phase F at Special Schools, and to find out how teachers adjusted strategies, interactions, and learning media based on students’ characteristics. This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, with validation using method triangulation. The results showed that physics learning on the sound topic was conducted in three stages: preliminary, core, and closing activities. In the preliminary stage, the teacher greeted, prayed, and gave appreciation, but the learning objectives were not clearly stated. In the core activities, the teacher used the lecture method with textbooks as the main learning resource, while the use of concrete media or technology was minimal. The interaction between teachers and students tended to be one-way, and not all students were actively engaged.In the closing stage, the teacher asked students to independently summarize the material and assigned homework as an evaluation tool. The learning strategies were mostly verbal and had not fully involved multisensory media or individual approaches tailored to students’ needs.In conclusion, the teacher made efforts to adjust the learning strategies to the characteristics of intellectually disabled students in phase F. However, improvement was still needed, particularly in the use of varied learning media, fostering more active interactions, and applying more concrete and participatory learning approaches to enhance learning effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of sound science learning for students with disabilities in special schools. The results of the study showed that teachers started learning with greetings, prayers, and perceptions, then conveyed learning objectives and inserted ice breaking to increase students' enthusiasm for learning. In the core activity, teachers use lecture methods and learning resources in the form of powerpoint learning media (PPT) and LKPD to help students understand sound material. Teachers also pay special attention to students with disabilities by adjusting teaching styles, learning tempos, and forms of communication according to students' needs. The characteristics of visually impaired students observed were motor difficulties, limitations in communication and expression, low motivation and confidence, difficulty understanding abstract material, dependence on teacher assistance and tools, and difficulty in following the rhythm of group learning. The learning strategies used are an individualized approach, which is effective in fostering a sense of security, appreciating even the smallest effort, and guiding students to remain active in learning activities. The results of the study show that teachers have tried to adapt learning strategies to the needs of students with disabilities, but there is still a need for improvement in media use, more active interaction, and a more concrete and participatory approach to make learning more effective and in accordance with the needs of students. Thus, this research can contribute to the development of more effective learning strategies for students with disabilities in exceptional schools. The study also shows that an individualized approach can increase the motivation and confidence of students with disabilities in learning, as well as help them understand the material better. Therefore, this research can be a reference for teachers and education practitioners in developing more effective learning strategies and in accordance with the needs of students with disabilities.
