CLUB MODEL TO DEVELOP LIFE ADAPTIVE COMPETENCY FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IN INCLUSIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

The issue of developing competencies for students with disabilities has been raising in recent years because of the issuance of a new program for all students from K1-12 - the 2018 General Education Program (GEP). Students with disabilities must face challenges to be able to develop their competencies in different subjects as well as in experiential activities. Life adaptive competency is one of very important competencies in the program of Experiential activities that students will develop their knowledge of understanding about themselves and their living environment as well as practice their self-regulation skills in responding to change. However, students with disabilities show a lack of life-adaptive competency because of the difficulties caused by their own disabilities as well as other external influences. The club model is one of the solutions that inclusive elementary schools can choose to improve competencies in general and life adaptive competency in particular for all students including those one with disabilities. This study focuses on finding out information about different club models and mentions 04 forms of club models as well as their meanings for students with disabilities so that they may have improved their life adaptive competency in inclusive elementary schools.
