Abstract

Every human being has the right to education regardless of social, material, physical or spiritual status. Based on the results of observations it is known that in MA Muhammadiyah 1 Ponorogo is a madrasa that wants to develop into an inclusive school that helps learning difficulties for children with special needs (disabilities). Madrasas do not classify blind students and normal students, so learning is carried out in one room. Some blind students experience difficulties in the learning process, for example blind students do not understand the subject matter that has been delivered by the teacher. So that the teacher provides assistance in order to overcome learning problems, especially for blind students in applying various techniques or methods. This study aims to: (1) identify and describe tutoring for blind students at Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah 1 Ponorogo; and (2) knowing and describing the inhibiting factors of tutoring for blind students at Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah 1 Ponorogo. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The data were obtained from the research subjects, namely school principals, teachers, and class XI and XII blind students. Data collection techniques in this study used observation, interviews, and documentation to complete the data to be collected by researchers. Data analysis techniques are Data Condensation, Data Presentation, and Conclusion/Verification. The results of this study indicate that: (1) tutoring for students uses individual and group guidance approaches. However, the teacher only applies a number of techniques in learning, such as individual guidance with directive counseling techniques, while group guidance uses group discussion techniques; and (2) the inhibiting factors for tutoring for blind students are the lack of facilities and infrastructure, the absence of special guidance teachers (GPK), and their low understanding of mastering the subject matter taught by the teacher.
