Abstract

A nationally aligned education is expected to help impaired pupils attain their full potential. In recent years, there has been an increase in global awareness and recognition of vocational education and training for disabled learners. This includes regulatory changes in special needs education, creating specific curriculum curricula for fast-paced businesses, incorporating technology into lessons, constructing new vocational special needs education facilities, and reorganizing existing facilities to match current demands. These vocational education programs necessitate the creation of new vocational special needs education teaching positions. Teachers contribute to the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2012-2025 goal and vision by developing talent in special needs education. The competencies of this new educational function and other quality indicators in Malaysia have yet to be identified. This study looks at special education and vocational teacher competencies. A systematic literature evaluation revealed competencies for special education vocational teachers. Professional competency conceptions encompass technical, non-technical, personal, mental, and physical traits, motivations, and self-concept. These findings could be utilized to prepare special education vocational teachers. The findings will influence vocational special needs secondary school vocational teachers' professional growth. Identifying crucial competency features will give baseline data for enhancing our understanding of critical components for quality vocational teachers, critical to effective teaching and learning for learners with special educational needs.

Abstract

Reading disabilities are someone who experience obstacles in their phonological processes such as identifying letters, distinguishing letter sounds, and their pronunciation, thereby affecting academic development factors, especially aspects of reading. Decodable books can be deciphered and contain code-based phonics learning. This research aims to develop and validate the Decodable book according to the characteristics and needs of students with reading disabilities. This research uses the ADDIE RnD model (Analysis: analysis of needs and characteristics of the subject, Design: design according to initial analysis, Development: design development, Implementation: media application, and Evaluation: evaluation of the entire process). The subjects of this research were 4 students with reading disabilities criteria at elementary schools in Malang City. Data analysis of needs and subject characteristics was obtained through interviews with teachers and carrying out identification tests and assessments. The results of this research produced Decodable book (Decobo) which media experts and material experts have validated with an average score of 78.6% in the valid category with minor revisions. Decodable book (Decobo) was developed into an e-book packaged as an application with three levels of word pattern books (VC-V, CV-CV, CV-C). Decodable book (Decobo) has been applied to subjects with an overall score of 72.60%. The category is quite effective in improving the initial reading abilities of students with reading disabilities.

Abstract

Conventional lecture-style training ends up being biased toward teaching basic theoretical knowledge, and some issues have been identified. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an effective training system that could be used by in-service teachers in actual teaching practice. This case study relates to the issues encountered in creating individualized teaching plans (ITP) and teaching practices for students with special education needs enrolled in regular schools. This study analyzed 10 cases by using the qualitative data analysis software MAXQDA. Consequently, a more positive and accurate study of the students’ conditions was conducted, and diverse opinions were elicited, including exchanges of relevant information and teaching materials and tools, which enabled the trainees to feel the training effects. In this study, practical and ongoing training was conducted mainly in coordination with university teaching staff specializing in special needs education (SNE). This enabled the trainees and participants to deepen their understanding of students with special education needs and formed the basis of the case studies. The importance of practical learning should be stressed in in-service teacher training and in the pre-service education of teachers in Japan, and school-based experiences should be considered as an addition to the theoretical base of the university training stage.

Abstract

The study focuses on understanding the challenges, capabilities, and requirements of students with mild intellectual disabilities in marketing skills related to vegetable gardening. It aims to create a suitable learning assessment tool for these students. The researcher observed that teachers lacked a specific assessment instrument for evaluating the marketing of garden products. Consequently, a teacher improvised a self-made assessment. The research methodology employed a descriptive approach within a qualitative framework. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, documentation analysis, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and validation. Validation involved multiple stakeholders: a class teacher, a vice head of curriculum, a vocational teacher, and two students with mild intellectual disabilities. The assessment instrument, tailored for mild intellectual disability students, focused on three main aspects: self-development, language and mathematics abilities, and marketing theories. Two validators validated this instrument. The study anticipates several implications: students may enhance their skills and insights, teachers can improve teaching quality, school principals can better address learning needs, and parents gain insights into their children's interests and talents. The research addresses the dearth of appropriate assessment tools for marketing gardening products to students with mild intellectual disability. Its findings are poised to benefit various stakeholders, including students, teachers, school administrators, and parents, by fostering skill development, enhancing teaching quality, and facilitating a better understanding of students' needs and abilities.
