Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Active Learning model
based on Small Group Discussion for children with special needs (ABK) with
intellectual disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in grade
3 of SD Negeri Karangwuni, Polokarto District, Sukoharjo Regency. The study
used a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through
observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed that
the Active Learning learning model based on Small Group Discussion was able to
encourage the activeness, understanding, and involvement of ABK students in the
learning process. Students with intellectual disabilities became more confident and
actively asked questions, while students with ADHD showed high enthusiasm.
Teachers play an important role as facilitators who adjust learning strategies to
student characteristics. The obstacles faced include the teachers limited
understanding of students' special needs and the lack of supporting resources, but
can be overcome with small homogeneous groups and intensive mentoring.
Overall, this model is effective in creating an inclusive and adaptive learning
environment for the diversity of students in elementary schools.
