CHAPTER 4 RESEARCH METHOD

A. RESEARCH TYPE

This research applies research and development method with main program adopted from model developed by Borg and Gall 2003. This method is selected because researcher attempts to develop handling model of children with learning disabilities based on learning accommodation and modification. This research and development consists of 10 phase, which are: 1. Collecting information through: a doing literature review about handling models of children with learning disabilities based on learning accommodation and modification, b analyzing children with learning disabilities and identifying an initial ability in mathematics and Indonesia language to recognize learning needs of student, c Identifying knowledge, response and skill of teacher in teaching children with learning disabilities, d exploring the implementation of learning accommodation and modification nowadays. 2. Collecting information and suggestion from the practitioners and the experts related to the requirement of learning and learning accommodations and modification for the children with learning disabilities at school; 3. Compiling hypothetical model design which will be applied in learning accommodation and modification program. The design will be in the form of model and learning accommodation and modification guide book, evaluation system and achievement indicator in the model implementation. 4. Compiling initial draft and products such as handling children with learning disabilities guide book based on learning accommodation and modification containing substance, procedures, strategies and evaluation systems of accommodation and modification learning activities of children with learning disabilities. 5. Doing internal validation and initial test limited test of handling model and guide book of children with learning disabilities based on learning accommodation and modification. 6. Doing revision of model and product based on internal validation result and initial test to perfect the initial hypothetical model, with compiling the draft of handling 12 ValidationTest of model product Year II, 2016 Research and Model Development Year I, 2015 Implementation Dissemination year

Implementation Dissemination of Model Product Collaboration with related institutions •Validation and main experiment • Draft revision of model product • Operational test Model Revision • Initial test • Compiling draft of model and product guide book - Study review - Field study - Experts input Design Model FINAL MODEL guide book of children with learning disabilities based on learning accommodation and modification. 7. Main field testvalidation and model and guide book field test in the field. 8. Revising guide-book draft through the result of the second test and compiling the final draft of guide-book of handling the children with learning disabilities based on learning accommodations and modification; 9. Completion of final models and product handling children with learning disabilities; 10. Implementing and disseminating the model and product guide-book In this research, first to five phase is undertaken in first year 2015, while six to ninth phase is undertaken in second year 2016. The last phase is about implementing and disseminating product, while socialization is in third year 2017.
