How to make slow learners learn science

Abstract

One of the goals of ESD is the implementation of inclusive education. That goal is prepared through the fulfillment of teacher competencies through teacher education in the universities. However, not all in-service teachers understand the nature of inclusive education. The results of the preliminary study show that preservice teachers need practical understanding with the existence of learning device models for inclusive classes. This study aim is to produce teaching materials in ESD context which consists of lesson plan and media for slow learners. This research was designed using Research and Development (R & D) adapted from Plomp which consists of five stages, namely (1) Initial investigation, (2) Design (3) Realization/construction, (4) Test, evaluation and revision, and (5) Implementation. This research was limited to fourth stage. Validation used the consideration of science education expert and special education expert. The instruments used in this research were assessment form and observation form. The lesson plan and media tested in one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The result of this research is effective lesson plan and media of science for slow learner student.
