MANAGEMENT OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Indonesia

Abstract

A common problem encountered in implementing inclusive classes is the difficulty of class
management to meet the needs of children with special needs. The impact of this problem has
caused several schools to reject students with special needs on the grounds of limited abilities.
This study aims to describe the implementation of inclusive school education management. This
study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. This study was conducted in July 2023. The
research instrument was in the form of an interview sheet with resource persons, class teachers,
inclusive teacher managers, and child psychologists. The results of this study are that inclusive
school management can be implemented in various aspects. The first aspect is inclusive school
equipment which includes assessments of inclusive students, teachers, and learning aids. The
second aspect is classroom arrangement which includes seating arrangements, activities, and
learning aids in the classroom. The third aspect is the teacher's duties which include the duties
of the class teacher as a facilitator, the assistant teacher as a companion to the class teacher in
carrying out learning activities in the classroom, and the inclusive teacher whose job is to
accompany inclusive students directly. The last aspect is the obstacles and solutions which
include the number of students being educated, intimidatio, and how to prevent it, as well as
parents who need objective assessments not only from one point of view regarding inclusive
children.
