Design on Individual Teaching for Children with Special Educational Needs

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Learning differences become most evident in the discrepancy in the school system. School teaches one way; and children who are unique or different learners are bound by this system that, for the most part, does not have the proper knowledge, teaching resources nor tools to support them. In this study, there is a need to construct and validate Design on Individual Teaching (DO IT) for children with special educational needs.

METHODS

This study will benefit the pupils, teachers, parents, school administrators, curriculum planners, and future researchers. It was focused on the children with special educational needs and design on individual teaching. The study employed the descriptive-survey method. The Purposive Sampling was applied to get the number of pupil-respondents. The tool used in the gathering of data was documentary analysis. Anecdotal records were solicited from the teachers. Likewise, an unstructured interview was utilized to support the information that was gathered. The statistical tools used were the following: frequency count, percentage technique, and weighted mean.

RESULTS

The Design on Individual Teaching (DO IT) is constructed to provide supplementary instructional materials in teaching visual perception, math, language, communication, reading, handwriting, and self-help skills to children with special educational needs, the curricular validity of the Design on Individual Teaching (DO IT) is attained by the passing general weighted mean. The items in the presentation and organization of material are most evident in the supplementary material.

DISCUSSIONS

The constructed Design on Individual Teaching (DO IT) can help the children with special educational needs develop their visual perception, math, language, communication, reading, handwriting, and self-help skills, the Design on Individual Teaching (DO IT) is curricular valid. Regular teachers must play a major role in assisting children with special educational needs. They must extend extra support in meeting their special needs, the constructed Design on Individual Teaching (DO IT) designed for children with special educational needs.
