Implementation of peace education through optimizing the role of parents in supporting children with disabilities in inclusive schools

Abstract

Education is an intentional activity and process that has begun to be recognized as a necessity by the wider community. According to the law, education is the right of every citizen, including those with disabilities. In line with this, Islam opposes all discriminatory attitudes and treatments towards individuals with disabilities, whether carried out by individuals, society, or institutions. The practice of implementing inclusive education is part of the implementation of Peace Education. Peace education is a learning process aimed at creating better citizens by instilling the values, knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors needed to live harmoniously. The values of peace education in Islamic studies include: the prohibition of oppression, equality of status, justice, freedom, harmony, mutual assistance, tolerance, and social solidarity. In inclusive education, all members of the school community embrace each other without regard to differences, especially the differences possessed by students with disabilities, commonly known as children with special needs. (ABK). So that students with special needs can participate in learning together in a regular school environment, it is necessary to provide optimal services in the learning process. The implementation of learning is carried out by involving the active role of parents, especially in accompanying learning both at school and at home. The type of research is qualitative, and the steps taken include data collection, reduction, display, and drawing conclusions. The learning assistance provided by parents for special needs students can give a positive boost to the entire school community to learn together by applying behaviors of mutual respect, helping, and loving one another.
