Design of instructional strategy model based on the brain's natural learning system (MS-SIPAO) in inclusive classrooms in higher education

Abstract

One of the problems faced by lecturers in achieving instructional objectives in inclusive classrooms in higher education is that they have not been able to design effective instructional strategies that are in accordance with all characteristics of all students. This study aims to determine the instructional strategy model that is based on a student problem and needs analysis. The study involved sixty elementary school teacher students at one university in Bogor, Indonesia. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and open interviews. Meanwhile, data analysis used a qualitative data analysis model. The results showed that the instructional strategy model based on the brain's natural learning system (MS-SiPAO) is one of the instructional strategy models that are expected to accommodate all the needs of students in order to achieve the competencies and instructional objectives set by the lecturer. Finally, MS-SiPAO is a suitable model to be used because it is based on an analysis of the problems and analysis of the needs faced by students in implementing learning in inclusive classrooms in higher education.
