THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION LEARNING PROGRAM IN MATHEMATICS AT SDN ISOLA BANDUNG

Learning is a process of students interaction with educators and learning resources in a learning environment. Learning is an assistance provided by educators to stimulate the process of knowledge acquisition, mastering skills and having a good character as well as establishing students behaviours and beliefs. In other words, learning is a process of helping students to learn well. There are diverse of learning abilities that students have across various classrooms. There are students who have a stronger learning competency better in some subjects than their friends and some are low achievers. Moreover, there are students who are interested in only on one single subject and become high achievers in that lesson. Unfortunately, there are still many schools that generalised learning in the classroom, disregarding students abilities and intelligence. The preliminary study showed that some students in grade 1 at SDN Isola Bandung had difficulties in learning mathematics. Therefore, a learning program was created to accommodate the students needs. Thus, the researcher was interested in examining the students’ issues in solving math problems and designing individual learning programs for students who had difficulties at SDN Isola Bandung. The researcher used a qualitative case study approach in this research. This learning program was used to obtain information about the learners’ problems. The researcher used open interviews and assessments to get the data. Based on this research, the result shows that the students in grade 1 at SDN Isola was able to do the math problems correctly by using the modified learning program.
