DESIGNING INCLUSIVE DANCE VIDEO MEDIA TO FOSTER SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate dance video media as an inclusive learning tool to enhance the social-emotional skills of students with special needs in Sekolah Dasar Luar Biasa (SDLB). The need arises due to the limited and less engaging existing learning materials. Using the ADDIE development model—comprising analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation—this research involved SDLB students, teachers, and three expert validators (material, language, and media). Data were collected through observations, interviews, and validation questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale, and analyzed descriptively both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed validity levels of 96.43% (material), 92.86% (language), and 85.00% (media), with an average of 91.43%, categorized as very valid. Thus, the dance video media is suitable as an engaging, interactive, and inclusive learning tool aligned with the characteristics of SDLB students, with strong potential to enhance their social-emotional skills through collaborative and enjoyable dance activities.
