Implementation of Independent Curriculum for Students with Disabilities in Special Schools

Abstract

This study uses a research approach that combines quantitative and qualitative forms or is commonly called a mixed methods research method. From the results of the research and analysis, it was found that the readiness of schools with principals as samples in the research on the implementation of the independent curriculum was in the fairly appropriate category. In the role of leadership and management of the learning process in schools, principals are expected to develop aspects of school administration, staff management, teacher management, students with disabilities, and school facilities, especially in terms of curriculum implementation or provision of facilities needed to support the education process in schools. 53.85% of special schools develop operational curricula for education units based on examples of curriculum documents. 69.23% of schools overhaul the flow of learning objectives.
