Implementation of a Role-Play Numeracy Learning Program for Students with Physical Disabilities, Based on a Case Study at Gedangan State Special Needs School
Abstract
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of an adaptive learning program in the form of Numeracy Role Play (Playing Store) in enhancing both functional numeracy skills and social interaction skills in students with Multiple Disabilities (Mild Intellectual Disability and Physical Disability). Students with multiple disabilities face complex learning barriers, requiring pedagogical strategies that are contextual, enjoyable, and accommodating of physical limitations. The "Playing Store" program is designed as a simulated environment that allows students to practice basic arithmetic skills (counting money, calculating change, determining prices) and social interactions (speaking, bargaining, waiting for turns) in a real-life context. The research method used is a case study/limited experiment involving one student with multiple disabilities at SLBN GEDANGAN SIDOARJO. The findings indicate that the implementation of Numeracy Role Play significantly improved the student's understanding of practical numeracy concepts and showed a positive increase in social interaction behavior. The success of this program underscores the importance of integrating functional learning and social development through adaptive and participatory methods, particularly for students with multiple disabilities.
