Chunking as an Effective Learning Strategy for Children with Special Needs
Main Article Content
Abstract
Children with special needs (ABK) have unique characteristics that require a learning approach that is tailored to their needs. One strategy that can be used is the chunking method, which is a method of grouping information into small units that aims to facilitate understanding and storage. This principle was introduced by George A. Miller, explaining that human shortterm memory has a limited capacity, so grouping information can improve more efficient learning. In inclusive education, the application of the chunking strategy can help ABK understand learning materials more effectively. This article discusses the application of the chunking method in learning for ABK, by reviewing the latest literature and studies that support the effectiveness of the chunking strategy.
