which are obtained through learning activities, guidance, and practice (Majid, 2014).
Islamic religious education teachers also have an important role in achieving the goals of
learning in general. If the learning objectives can be achieved optimally, then student
learning outcomes are not only impacted by academic aspects but can produce changes in
attitudes and morals (Hamalik, 2008).
A person with a disability is a child who means that they experience abnormalities
or limitations either physically, mentally-intellectually, socially, or emotionally in the
process of growth or development compared to other children of their age, so they need
special education services. People with disabilities also have the same opportunity to obtain
and obtain an education tailored to their needs as other normal children of the same age.
Because education is also very important to be given to people with disabilities to develop
themselves and carry out a decent life. One form of education services for DISABILITIES
is the implementation of education centered in inclusive schools. Regulation of the Minister
of National Education (Permen Diknas) number 70 of 2009 concerning Inclusive
Education, states that what is meant by inclusive education is an education delivery system
that provides opportunities for all students who have disorders and have the potential for
intelligence and/or special talents to take part in education or learning in one educational
environment together with students in general (Indonesia, 2009). Although the inclusive
education system has been implemented for quite a long time, in its application there are
still schools that experience obstacles in implementing the inclusive education system. This
is due to the lack of infrastructure provided by the government, schools, and the condition
of teachers who do not fully understand students with disabilities (Rudiyati, 2005). In
accepting disabled students in regular schools, it is necessary to have the knowledge and
experience of the teachers concerned with dealing with disabilities. The lack of knowledge
about disability, causing almost every teacher in schools providing inclusive education
causes obstacles in dealing with students with disabilities. In addition, limited knowledge
about disabilities can also affect the treatment of teachers of students with disabilities
(Azmi & Nurmaya, 2020).
In addition to fulfilling children's rights in obtaining a proper education, inclusive
education is an educational service system that provides opportunities for children with
disabilities to participate in learning with children in general in regular schools, so that as
much as possible children with disabilities are not separated from children in their
environment (Illahi, 2003). Providing opportunities for children with disabilities to get an
education in regular schools means that it will be able to reduce the gap between children
with disabilities and children in general in getting an education. Although the
implementation is adjusted to the abilities of their respective students, thus, there is no
longer any discrimination against children with disabilities (Mohammad, 2006). SMAN 6
Bandung is a school that provides inclusive education that involves students with
disabilities in learning with other students.
Being a teacher is not enough just knowing the material to teach, but furthermore
that the teacher must be able to understand the character and needs of each student so that
each student can get educational services according to his needs. Efforts to provide
education to children who do not have physical limitations or other limitations will not be
the same as children with disabilities, in educating children with disabilities, special
methods are needed to make it easy to receive and understand the material presented by the
teacher. In general, there are still difficulties faced by teachers in schools that provide
inclusive education in teaching students with disabilities due to a lack of knowledge about
the disability itself both from how to teach and how to accompany it (Nurhadisah, 2019).
The term person with disabilities is shown to those who have limitations physically,
mentally, socially, or intellectually. With this condition, people with disabilities become
limited in their activities or interacting with the community in general, so they need to be
provided services so that they are free from these obstacles. One way to help with these
disability problems is to involve them in learning in public schools, better known as
