Synergy through construction: Co-designing of special education program with stakeholders in the school
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the synergy in constructing and redesigning special education programs in schools with stakeholders. This study used a descriptive qualitative research approach. This method directly presents the nature of the relationship between the researcher and the respondent. The primary data sources in this study were two principals, ten teachers, and 20 school committee members. Participants were taken from two State schools. Secondary data sources in this study include school documents. Data collection techniques used in this study consisted of observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out in two stages: analysis of single or individual case data and analysis of cross-case data. The validity of the research data in this study was ensured using Lincoln and Guba's framework, which involves four key criteria: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings revealed that effective collaboration between schools and stakeholders led to the development of special programs in two state Madrasah Aliyah in Mataram, aligned with the principle of Working Systemically in Action. These madrasahs demonstrated a strong understanding of the need for collaboration, enabling them to emerge as leading institutions. Their success is reflected in various academic and non-academic achievements, showcasing their ability to compete at a higher level.
