Biology Learning for Students with Special Needs in Bengkulu City

Abstract

This study aims to find out how the learning process of children with special needs in the Alam Mahiraschool is depicted and what are the problems in Biology learning for children with special needs and tofind out the Implementation of Biology Learning for Students with Special Needs at Alam Mahira HighSchool, Bengkulu City. Method: This type of research is a qualitative case study method. This studyobserved the implementation of the Biology learning process for students with special needs. Data anddata sources in this study consist of primary data (Biology teachers and students) and secondary data(syllabus and lesson plans).
