PENGEMBANGAN MODEL PRAKTIKUM SAINS UNTUK SISWA TUNANETRA MELALUI PENDEKATAN KONSTRUKTIVIS SERTA APLIKASINYA PADA PENDIDIKAN INKLUSIF
Abstract: Developing
a Model of
a Science Practicum
for Blind Students Through the
Constructivist Approach and
Its Application in
the Inclusive Education. This
study aims to develop
a model of a
science practicum for blind students through
the constructivist approach
for both schools
running inclusive education and
those for the
handicapped. The research
stages included: (1) developing practicum
devices for realistic
science, i.e. voice
equipment, (2) developing
a practicum model
using the constructivist approach,
and (3) developing an evaluation
model for the sclence learning process and product. The study employed
a spiral model by
Cennamo and Kalk (2005:6),
consisting of (1) definition, (2) design, (3)
demonstration, (4) development, and (5) presentation. The products include:
(1) voice equipment
to measure temperature
and electricity voltage that
the students use in the
science practicum, (2) a realistic
practicum model that motivates
and trains the
students to be
active and autonomous
as suggested by the constructivist approach, and (3) the improvement of
the students’ discussion activities based on the eveluation model.
