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

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. Visualization of the research procedure can be shown in diagram below:
