Inclusive and Differentiated Education: Responding to the Challenge of Diverse Student Learning Styles

Abstract

This study aims to examine the educational approach methods both inclusively and differentially in responding to the diversity of student learning styles in the school environment. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from teachers, principals, and students in a school that applies the principle of inclusion. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation studies. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of inclusive and differential education is quite good, although there are still various challenges, such as limitations in human resources, facilities, and awareness among teachers. Learning strategies such as differentiation methods, personal approaches, and the use of technology have been proven to help accommodate diverse learning needs.
