Abstract

In the era of society 5.0, high percentage of internet penetration in Indonesia also poses one of the risks, namely related to the misuse of children and person with disabilities's privacy and personal data. Protection of children and person with disabilities's personal data in Indonesia is an urgency that needs to be immediately accommodated in Indonesia regulations. Unfortunately, according the existing regulations, the protection of children's personal data is only found in the Indonesia Personal Data Protection Law and merely regulated in three articles. The problems and challenges in providing legal protection for children and person with disabilities's personal data in Indonesia are in the need for regulations which comprehensively regulate the protection of children's personal data. The Indonesia Personal Data Protection Law can be amended by also including three points, namely: the meaning of special processing, parental and guardian consent, and limitations on the processing of children's personal data.

Abstract

This study explores the empowerment of persons with disabilities through guidance from Qur'anic verse Surah al-Nūr/24:61, offering ethical and spiritual frameworks to reduce discrimination and enhance well-being. The research emphasizes applying Qur'anic principles, including compassionate care, spiritual psychology, and ability-based empowerment, to the lives of persons with disabilities. Using an analytical exegesis method that incorporates historical, linguistic, and legal contexts, as well as literature reviews, the findings underscore the significance of eliminating stigma through empathy, enhancing mental well-being through spiritual connections, and empowering individuals according to their abilities. The verse directs able-bodied people to engage in inclusive social interactions, fostering acceptance and support for persons with disabilities. The study concludes that integrating Qur'anic values into social policies provides a comprehensive approach to creating inclusive and just societies, while offering insights for developing religiously informed, disability-inclusive policies that address the needs and dignity of all individuals.

Abstract

Self-advocacy skills are essential for students with disabilities to effectively communicate their needs and obtain necessary accommodations, which are crucial for their academic success and independence. Despite the importance of these skills, students with high-incidence disabilities, including learning disabilities (LD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), often enter the postsecondary education environment lacking the self-advocacy skills required to request accommodations. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of self-advocacy instruction using the Self-Advocacy and Conflict Resolution (SACR) training on the self-awareness of college students with LD and ADHD regarding their self-advocacy knowledge and skills. Participants were three first or second-year college students with high-incidence disabilities who had minimal experience requesting academic accommodations. Using a pre/post survey, the study measured participants' perceptions of their self-advocacy abilities before and after instruction. The results demonstrated a significant increase in participants' self-reported confidence and skills across several domains: self-identification, requesting and using accommodations, communication, and conflict resolution. Potential implications for self-advocacy instruction are discussed.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of disability and gender, analyzing the compounded disadvantages individuals with disabilities face in education and employment contexts. Drawing from a wide range of academic sources, including feminist disability studies and labor market research, the paper examines how gender and disability intersect to create unique barriers for women and men with disabilities. The research highlights the structural inequalities in both education and employment that limit access to opportunities, focusing particularly on the African context. By analyzing these factors through a gendered disability lens, the study advocates for inclusive policies and practices that address both the challenges of gender and disability simultaneously.

Abstract

The effectiveness of special versus inclusive education settings in addressing the learning difficulties students with disabilities encounter in Tanzanian public primary schools has not received as much attention. Regardless of the Tanzania’s efforts to ensure a better education for students with special needs, a proper approach to executing such education has been yet debatable. Of all the conflicting ideas, nevertheless, less has been done to examine the current situation and challenges in the practice of special and inclusive education in Tanzanian public primary schools. This study examined the dilemma of special vs. inclusive education in Tanzanian public primary schools: stakeholders' perspectives. Specifically, the study examined the current practice, challenges, and stakeholders’ perspectives on special and inclusive education in Tanzanian public primary schools. The study employed a case study research design, whereby interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. The study found slight variations in the level of severity among the challenges facing both special and inclusive education which include inaccessibility and inadequacy of learning materials, classrooms, special teachers, and meal funds. The study recommended that the government as a main funder of education allocate sufficient budgets to finance both special and inclusive public primary schools to enable the provision of education in a friendly manner to students with disabilities.

Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing the income of entrepreneurs with disabilities, focusing on financial bookkeeping, education, digital technology, social participation, location, and gender. Utilizing data from Indonesia’s 2021 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas), this quantitative research employs multiple linear regression modeling to analyze the relationships between these factors and income. The findings reveal that financial bookkeeping and digital technology significantly impact income, with financial bookkeeping exhibiting the strongest effect. Education and social participation also positively influence income by enhancing entrepreneurial skills and confidence. Location and gender highlight disparities, with urban entrepreneurs faring better, while female entrepreneurs still face limited income opportunities. These findings underscore the need for inclusive policies targeting financial training, education, digital infrastructure, and support for marginalized groups. The insights offered by this study provide valuable contributions to understanding and addressing the economic challenges faced by entrepreneurs with disabilities.

Abstract

Teacher self-efficacy is a crucial factor for successful learning in inclusive classrooms. This study explores the self-efficacy of preservice mathematics teachers to teach in inclusive classes. The study used an exploratory sequential design through a survey and continued with interviews. The survey stage involved seventy-seven participants. The survey data were analyzed descriptively followed by semi-structured interviews with ten participants selected using purposive sampling. Qualitative data were analyzed using the Bogdan & Biklen technique. The results showed that aspects of self-efficacy in using mathematics-inclusive instruction and managing behavior were in the moderate category. Experience with inclusive education lectures, training, and interactions with students with disabilities (SWD) influence these aspects. However, self-efficacy in collaborations is in the low category. The majority of participants express worry about collaborating with external parties such as parents, doctors, and psychologists. This is due to limited experience in conducting collaboration. This finding is expected to be a recommendation for universities and related parties to organize education and training that facilitates preservice mathematics teachers to develop teaching skills in inclusive classroom.
