Teaching Accommodation and Modification for Students with Learning Disabilities in Elementary Inclusive Classrooms

Abstrak / Ringkasan

The general purpose of the research is to make a handling model of the children with
learning disabilities based on accommodations and modification of learning collaborating
with researchers from Chiang Mai University. The specific purposes of the research are: 1)
To make a guide-book of handling the children with learning disabilities based on learning
accommodations and modification for the teachers, 2) To make a guidance to train the
teachers on handling the children with learning disabilities, 3) For international publication.
The research is a development research of handling the children with learning disabilities
model based on learning accommodations and modification which adapted from a
development model by Borg and Gall (2003). These are the steps of the development: 1)
Doing literary study about the handling model of the children with learning disabilities
based on learning accommodations and modification which appropriate with the needs of
children with learning disabilities on elementary school; 2) Collecting information and
suggestion from the practitioners and the experts related to the requirement of learning and
learning accommodations and modification for the children with learning disabilities at
school; 3) Compiling hypothetical model which will be applied in the activity of learning
accommodations and modification. It will be a model and a guide-book about learning
accommodations and modification, evaluation system, and indicator of achievement on the
model implementation; 4) Drafting the guide-book of handling the children with learning
disabilities based on accommodations and modification which includes material, procedure,
strategy and evaluation system of learning accommodations and modification; 5) Doing
initial test (limited test) to complete the initial hypothetical model; 6) Revising the guidebook
draft
through
the
result
of
the
initial

test and compiling draft-2 of guide-book of
handling the children with learning disabilities based on learning accommodations and
modification; 7) Validating and testing guide-book draft toward subjects; 8) Revising guidebook
draft
through
the
result
of
the
second
test;
9)
compiling
of
final
models
and
product,

that
is
the
final
draft
of
guide-book
of
handling
the
children
with
learning
disabilities
based

on
learning
accommodations
and
modification;
10)
Implementing
and
disseminating
the

guide-book.
In
this
research,
step
1-5
are
done
in
2015. Then,
step
6-9
will
be

done in the
first year (2016) and the 10th step which disseminating and implementing, also socializing,
the guide-book will be done in the second year (2017).
The research results, the conclusion can be presented as follows : (1) Handling children
with learning disabilities is still not implemented adequately; (2) Perceptions and
expectations of teachers to the problems of handling children with learning disabilities tends
to be negative , hence the need for guidelines on the application of learning accommodation
for children with learning disabilities; (3) Hypothetical model handling of children with
learning disabilities based learning accommodation and modification that has been tested
beginning on a limited basis , could be developed as a model further through the subjects try
involvement to school more and increase the participants in the forum panel discussion and
Focus Group Discussion / FGD order to obtain more models effective.
