Technical Assistance Program as A Media to Overcome the Problem of Children’s Dyslexia in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah

Abstract

Reading is an important activity in everyday life and must be mastered by children from an early age. However, many children still cannot read, especially in one of the madrasah ibtidaiyah in Probolinggo Regency, East Java which is the location of this research. This study aims to analyze the teacher's strategy in overcoming the reading problem of dyslexic children with technical guidance. This study used a phenomenological approach, where researchers try to understand the phenomena in the field through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out in stages, including data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed that the teacher's strategy in overcoming the reading problem of dyslexic children through Technical Guidance was carried out through preparation of technical assistance, implementation of technical assistance, and evaluation of technical assistance. This research has implications for the importance of the teacher's understanding of student learning characteristics from an early age so that teachers can find out the students' various problems so that learning objectives can be achieved optimally.
