Analysis of Hybrid Learning for Students with Learning Disabilities in Primary Schools Providing Inclusive Education

Abstract

Many special-needs children, including students with learning disabilities, are enrolled in public schools. The current state of education is transitioning from online to face-to-face learning due to the improving situation after the COVID-19 pandemic. Hybrid learning is one of the alternative methods applied during the transition period. Therefore, this study aims to explore the experiences of teachers in implementing hybrid learning in students with disabilities in Indonesia using a qualitative description. Data was collected through interviews with one class teacher, two students with learning disabilities and their parents, and one school principal. Furthermore, observations were made on the learning process involving students with learning disabilities, with the data analysis technique referring to the theory of Sandelowski. The results indicated that there are four important aspects conducted by teachers supporting the success of hybrid learning for students with learning disabilities in inclusive classes; namely (1) the use of clear instructions, (2) reducing anxiety in online spaces, (3) special assistance, and (4) the use of adaptive learning media. This study has implications for the importance of teachers applying these four aspects to implement hybrid learning.

“…Furthermore, the effectiveness of using media to support learning success has been supported both theoretically and empirically. Previous studies found the importance of using media in learning to read in dyslexia students (Zid et al, 2020;Zid and Casmana, 2021;Rachmawati et al, 2022). Rachmawati et al (2022) also proved the importance of using visual and real media as well as a multisensory approach in supporting the success of learning to read.…”

Revolutionizing Education: Navigating the New Landscape Post-COVID-19: A Scoping Review

“…(Mushtaha et al, 2022) The most significant advantage of online learning implementation was flexibility. Sudden implementation had discouraging implications for mental health and socialization (Rachmawati et al, 2022) Post COVID-19, hybrid learning is used as an alternative method. Teachers support hybrid learning for students with learning disabilities in inclusive classes by providing clear instructions, reducing anxiety in online spaces, special assistance, and adaptive learning media.…”

“…e-ISSN: 2715-5706 menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media pembelajaran adaptif disertai pendampingan guru mendukung keberhasilan pembelajaran hybrid bagi siswa berkesulitan belajar di kelas inklusi (Rachmawati et al, 2022). Di samping itu, dengan menggabungkan teknologi imersif yang sesuai dengan teori pembelajaran motorik dan prinsip pembelajaran multimedia, materi pembelajaran yang sesuai dapat dibuat yang memfasilitasi proses pembelajaran fisik bagi penyandang disabilitas (Mokmin & Ridzua, 2022).…”
