Strategies for internalizing the value of nationalism in tunagrahita students

This study described strategies, constraints, and efforts for internalizing the value of nationalism to tunagrahita students. Tunagrahita is a term used to refer to children who have below-average intellectual abilities. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach from observation, interviews, and document studies. The results showed that the strategy was carried out through programs, resource utilization, policies and regulations, and optimal learning. The obstacles faced were the lack of support from parents, differences in character in students, and the difficulty of finding teachers that met school standards. Efforts to overcome these obstacles were providing insights to parents, memorizing the character that each student has, and increasing the creativity of teachers.
