PERKEMBANGAN ANAK TUNAGRAHITA DI SKH NEGERI 01 KOTA SERANG

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the learning development of mentally retarded
children at Special School (SKh) Negeri 01 Serang City. Children with intellectual
disabilities require a different educational approach due to intellectual limitations that
affect their ability to understand, remember and apply information. The research
method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with observation, interviews and
documentation as data collection techniques. The research results show that the
learning development of mentally retarded children at SKh Negeri 01 Serang City is
influenced by various factors, such as the teaching methods used, family support,
and school facilities. Teachers play an important role in providing learning that is
tailored to students' individual needs, such as the use of concrete learning media
and direct practice approaches. Family support has also been proven to be
significant in increasing children's learning motivation.
