Virtual Lab Geometry Development as Online Learning Media Alternatives at Universitas PGRI Semarang and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Abstract

This study aimed to identify potential challenges of implementing inclusive education practices at X University, Jordan, as perceived by students with disabilities. The study used a qualitative case study methodology by interviewing ten students with sensory and physical disabilities. Semi-structured interviews and descriptive coding strategies were used to collect and analyze the data. The findings identified five themes that represented the main challenges with inclusive educational practices faced by the students with disabilities at the university: physical environment, modifications, personal attitudes, assistive technologies, support, and administrative procedures. This study suggests a set of recommendations that could provide the best inclusive education practices in Jordanian universities.In this contemporary epidemic era, learning media that is easily accessible and engaging to learners is genuinely required. So far, students at PGRI Semarang University and University Teknologi Malaysia have previously been required to apply a compass and ruler to construct flat shapes and spaces, to establish active learning strategies that can encourage students in virtually sketching flat shapes. The ADDIE model was employed in the research, the outcome of this research is a virtual geometry lab. According to student responses, as much as 96 percent agree that the use of virtual media the geometry lab can enhance students' cognitive and spatial abilities.
