Abstract

This study investigated the influence of cooperative learning approach on mathematics teaching to the students with learning difficulties. The study used experiment which was conducted using a one group pretest-posttest design. The samples were 31 students including 3 students with learning disabilities in 3rd grade elementary school at an inclusive school in Bandung. The result showed that cooperative learning approach was proven effective to enable students to construct mathematics instructional materials actively. The implementation of cooperative learning approach for students with learning disabilities increases the acquisition of learning outcomes. It improves math skills scores on students’ learning disabilities for about 20% to 30%. Implications for learning mathematics using cooperative learning approaches, students are more motivated to participate actively and independently solve mathematical problems so that students form their own knowledge based on group experience.
