Pedagogic Competence of Teachers in the Learning Process at the Emmanuel Christian SLB Manado

Abstract

The research conducted at SLB Kristeln Emmanuel Manado focuses on investigating pedagogical practices and barriers within the school context. Qualitative methods such as observation, interviews, and document analysis were employed to achieve this goal. The study aims to enhance educational practices through a three-pronged approach: firstly, by understanding the complexities of teaching diverse student needs; secondly, by identifying factors that either facilitate or hinder pedagogical effectiveness; and thirdly, by improving pedagogical skills through teacher training sessions, workshops, and clubs tailored for students with special needs. Effective pedagogical practices are supported by well-equipped facilities, conducive learning environments, and a supportive school culture. Conversely, barriers include inconsistent application of teaching strategies, academic and personal challenges faced by students, and communication barriers that impact teaching and learning processes. Addressing these challenges is vital for improving educational outcomes at SLB Kristeln Emmanuel Manado, ensuring that each student receives a high-quality education that meets their individual needs. The research underscores the importance of understanding and addressing both the facilitators and barriers to effective pedagogy in inclusive education settings like SLB Kristeln Emmanuel Manado. The study aims to contribute positively to the educational experiences and outcomes of students with special needs.
