The rapid social change consequent upon modernization, urbanization, globalization and media boon has made the lives of youth, their expectations, values and outlook very different from those of older generations. Youth is considered as the most powerful members of the society due to their physical and intellectual capabilities. But it is sad to see the fact that most of them are unable to utilize their potential in a suitable and pertinent way due to lack of guidance and motivation. Now, the main question arises that if the normal youth is unable to utilize their potential then what about the excluded groups who are deprived of vision, hearing, movement, communication, perceptual-motor, social-emotional, intelligence and adaptive behavior? Therefore, the challenges faced by normal children as well as children with special needs are many and they require more than even the best numeracy and literacy skills. That is why, many countries have included “Life Skills” as basic learning need for all the children including normal children as well as children with special needs (UNICEF).

In inclusive education, children with special needs (ABK) should get educational services together with normal children. However, inclusive education services that occur in Indonesia are still experiencing obstacles. Previous research has found that the problems are the lack of knowledge of teachers about children with special needs, the lack of teacher skills in dealing with children with special needs, and teachers' attitudes towards children with special needs. Current research intended to analyse the attitude of inclusive education teachers. The measurement of knowledge is developed by researchers using prior knowledge theory. In measuring teacher efficacy, we use the Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP) measurement. Teacher attitudes towards inclusive education was measured by the Multidimensional Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale (MATIES). The participants were 60 teachers from state primary school, and incusive private primary school in Bogor Regency. Participants were recruited by convenience sampling technique. The research method uses correlational quantitative methods. The results showed that the knowledge and efficacy of teachers together did not provide a significant contribution to the attitude of teachers in inclusive education. Partially, knowledge about children with special needs has no effect on teachers' attitudes on inclusive education. However, independently, only teacher efficacy contributed significantly to teachers' attitudes regarding inclusive education. bersama dengan anak yang normal. Namun, pelayanan pendidikan inklusif yang terjadi di Indonesia masih mengalami hambatan. Penelitian terdahulu menemukan bahwa hambatan yang terjadi selama ini adalah kurangnya pengetahuan guru tentang anak berkebutuhan khusus, minimnya keterampilan guru dalam menangani ABK, dan sikap guru terhadap ABK yang dilihat masih memandang sebelah mata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran pengetahuan awal tentang ABK dan efikasi guru terhadap sikap guru pendidikan inklusif. Pengukuran pengetahuan dikembangkan oleh peneliti dengan menggunakan teori prior knowledge. Untuk pengukuran efikasi guru, digunakan alat ukur The Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices (TEIP). Pengukuran sikap guru terhadap pendidikan inklusif menggunakan alat ukur The Multidimensional attitudes toward inclusive education scale (MATIES). Partisipan berjumlah 60 guru dari SDN dan SD Swasta Inklusi di Kabupaten Bogor, yang terpilih dengan teknik sampling convenience. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif korelasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan dan efikasi guru secara bersama-sama tidak memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan terhadap sikap guru pendidikan inklusif. Secara parsial, pengetahuan mengenai anak berkebutuhan khusus tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap sikap guru pada pendidikan inklusi. Namun secara independen hanya efikasi guru yang memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan terhadap sikap guru mengenai pendidikan inklusif.

SD Negeri (public elementary school) 25 Banda Aceh is one of the schools that join together children with special needs with normal children in one class in every school subject including Islamic religious education. This practice may cause teachers to encounter difficulties in teaching children with special needs; moreover, other problems also occur such as the limited number of teachers of Islamic religious education, inadequate facilities, and so forth. The focus of this research was related to the implementation, the role of teachers, as well as the constraints and solutions of the Islamic religious education teachers in performing the teaching and learning process at SD Negeri 25 Banda Aceh. This qualitative research employed a descriptive research approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of Islamic religious education learning for children with special needs was based on the 2013 curriculum. The modified curriculum was then grouped into the modifications of learning time allocation, learning materials, and the teaching and learning process of the children with special needs. The methods employed by the teachers were relatively similar to regular children such as memorization, lecture, question and answer, group work, demonstration, and practice. However, children with special needs also required further assistance and motivation. These children would also need a special escort teacher during the teaching and learning process. The roles of the teachers in implementing inclusive education included being correctors, inspirators, informers, organizers, motivators, initiators, facilitators, mentors, demonstrators, classroom managers, supervisors, mediators, and evaluators. In addition, teachers used learning tools and media to support students' understanding, especially in Islamic education learning. The obstacles faced by the teachers were due to the different abilities and characters of the students that made the teachers become very difficult in delivering the materials, the limited number of the teachers, the nonoptimal use of media, facilities, and infrastructure, and lack of study hours. The solutions to these issues included teachers being equipped with a guideline for handling children's special needs by making adjustments of time, manner, and material, and building togetherness, equality, and respect among fellow students.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola pendidikan di Rumah Inklusif Kembaran, dasar untuk pendidikan inklusif di sana dan tantangan dalam mengimplementasikan pendidikan inklusif di sana. Segmentasi lembaga pendidikan berdasarkan perbedaan agama, etnis, dan bahkan perbedaan kemampuan baik secara fisik maupun mental yang dimiliki oleh siswa masih terjadi di Indonesia, ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan di Indonesia belum mengakomodasi keragaman. Temuan pendidikan yang dilakukan di Rumah Inklusif adalah pendidikan pembebasan yang menempatkan anak-anak luar biasa atau anak-anak dengan kebutuhan khusus untuk belajar bersama dengan anak-anak normal dalam satu kelas di rumah joglo dekat dengan tempat mereka tinggal. Yang dimaksud dengan pembebasan adalah bahwa siswa diberi kebebasan untuk menentukan menu pendidikan mereka sendiri. Tantangan penerapan pendidikan inklusif di rumah inklusif Kembaran Kebumen adalah kurangnya pemahaman publik tentang kondisi anak-anak penyandang cacat. Dalam proses pendidikan, rumah inklusif terbatas dalam hal fasilitas, dan ada kekurangan staf sukarela untuk membantu anak-anak cacat. Hal ni terbukti dengan banyaknya fasilitas publik, terutama di Kebumen, yang tidak ramah bagi penyandang cacat. Kelahiran rumah inklusif di Kebumen adalah bentuk perlawanan terhadap kurangnya perhatian pemerintah dalam menangani anak-anak berkebutuhan khusus di Kebumen. Pemerintah belum melakukan apa-apa, tepatnya untuk mengecualikan anak-anak penyandang cacat di sekolah-sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB). Ini membuat siswa apalagi orang tua merasa minder.Kata kunci: inklusif, difabel, persamaan EQUALITY PEDAGOGY  DI RUMAH INKLUSIF DESA KEMBARAN KECAMATAN DAN KABUPATEN KEBUMENAbstractThis study aims to analyze the pattern of education in the Kembaran Inclusive Houses, the basis for inclusive education there and the challenges of implementing inclusive education there. Segmentation of educational institutions based on differences in religion, ethnicity, and even differences in abilities both physically and mentally possessed by students still occur in Indonesia, this indicates that education in Indonesia has not accommodated diversity.Findings of inclusive education carried out in Inclusive Houses is a liberation education that places exceptional children or children with special needs to study together with normal children in one class at a joglo house close to where they live. What is meant by liberation is that students are given the freedom to determine their own education menu. The challenge of implementing inclusive education in Kembaran Kebumen inclusive homes is the lack of public understanding the conditions of children with disabilities. In the process  education, inclusive homes are limited in terms of facilities, and there is a lack of volunteer staff to assist disabled children. This hall is proven by the many public facilities, especially in Kebumen, which are not friendly to the disabled. The birth of an inclusive house in Kebumen is a form of resistance to the lack of government attention in dealing with children with special needs in Kebumen. The government has not done anything, precisely to exclude children with disabilities in Extraordinary schools. This makes students more than parents feel less.Keywords: inclusive, difabel, equality
