Abstract

This research examined the knowledge and skills of special education teachers within the context of inclusive education in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative survey approach, the study aimed to determine whether a statistically significant disparity existed between these two variables. The data collection technique utilized included knowledge tests and performance assessments, involving 637 participants from 26 districts/cities. The data analysis technique employed was the t-test using SPSS. The research findings indicated that the mean knowledge score (51.85) was lower than the mean skill score (73.90). The t-test result showed a value of -29.87 with p-value <0.05, indicating a significant difference between the knowledge and skill scores. Several factors contributed to the higher skill scores, including limited access to specialized training and professional development, curriculum structures prioritizing skill-based coursework, and the unique demands of inclusive education settings.
