Implementasi Pendidikan Inklusif Bagi Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus di SDN Tunjung 1 Bangkalan

Abstract

Inclusive education aims to provide equal opportunities for all children, including those with special needs, to participate in the same educational environment. In Indonesia, the implementation of inclusive education in primary schools, such as SDN Tunjung 1 Bangkalan, is crucial due to the increasing number of children with special needs requiring attention in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the practices of inclusive education at SDN Tunjung 1 Bangkalan and provide recommendations for improvement applicable to other schools. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with special needs teachers, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while SDN Tunjung 1 Bangkalan has made strides in inclusive education, challenges such as social stigma and inadequate parental acknowledgment of children's conditions persist. Effective collaboration between the school and parents is essential in fostering a supportive learning environment. This research underscores the need for further studies on social aspects influencing the acceptance of inclusive education and suggests developing training programs for teachers to enhance their readiness in managing inclusive classrooms.
