Abstract

This research is motivated by the problem of implementing Islamic religious education curriculum in special schools which has not accommodated the existence of students with special needs. So it is necessary to further discuss the inclusion based Islamic religious education curriculum considering the increasing tendency of students with special needs to get teaching. The purpose of this research is to analyze the Islamic religious education curriculum and its implementation in Ungaran State B Special School. This research is descriptive using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data obtained were then analyzed through a qualitative descriptive method by reducing the data, testing the data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that Islamic religious education learning in Ungaran State B Special School refers to the special education curriculum and the adjusted regular curriculum. These two types of curriculum were developed using a modification model and a curriculum substitution model. Schools implement the Islamic religious education curriculum through a series of planning, implementation, and evaluation processes, which adhere to the principles of relevance, accommodation and flexibility. There are four approaches taken by shools to evaluate the Islamic religious education curriculum, namely by reviewing programs for students with special needs on an ongonging basis, improving the quality of school resources, communicating actively with parents, and expanding support capabilities.
