The rationale behind this study is how students with disabilities’ perception towards the inclusive education and inclusive teaching practices. As a qualitative single case study, two participants (student with hearing loss and visual impairment) were involved to give their depth explanation about inclusive practices in one secondary inclusive school in Yogyakarta. These participants were recruited by purposive technique sampling. Data were gathered by open-ended interview, documents’ analysis, and direct observation for building and learning media. Data then were analyzed using content-analysis technique. The results show students with disabilities have a positive perception towards the inclusive practices in their school. They claimed, this practice would be valuable if: the school provides learning materials in different modalities and teachers offers multiple ways in teaching. Furthermore, system support and shaping the inclusive culture is necessary to realize the inclusive edu...

One of the challenging subjects in chemistry for students with visual impairment is the periodic table, known in bahasa Indonesia as SistemPeriodikUnsur ( SPU). The common method of teaching currently used for this subject is lecture, with occasional use of tactile demonstration where the teacher or lecturer describes the visual component by drawing the object on thestudent’s palm or back. In short, students with visual impairment learn the periodic tableby relying heavilyon their memory.Based on this teaching challenge, this developmental research undertakesthe development of a Braille version of the periodictable that will enable a blind student to properly learn chemistry. This Braille model is an accessible, tactual based learning tool that enables blind students to learn independently through experience.[Salah satu materi pembelajaran kimia yang termasuk sulit diajarkan kepada siswa difabel netra adalah materi Sistem Periodik Unsur (SPU).

The Indonesian village Law No. 6/2014 has set the tone for empowering local development, establishing village as a local democratic institution with the ability to manage its own development. It is explicitly stated in the law that one of its goals is to establish the village community as a subject instead of an object of development. Therefore, the law highly encourages civic participation. While the mechanism is in place to ensure the participation of village inhabitants, the participation of marginalized groups such as women, people with disabilities, and eldery remain unexplored. Using interviews with the marginalized groups in four villages in Indonesia, the aim of this paper seeks to capture the dynamic participation of this population and to examine the barriers to their participation in the development process. In this study, it was found that meaningful participation has not yet been achieved, thus, there is still a need to advocate for empowerment for this population. In a...
