Narrative Inquiry of Practitioners Applying Matching Activities to Develop Cognitive Skills in Children with Intellectual Disabilities
This study aims to explore the experience of practitioners of Children with Special Needs in implementing matching activities to support the cognitive development of children with intellectual disabilities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a narrative inquiry design. Data will be collected through in-depth interviews and supporting documentation, then analyzed using thematic narrative analysis to understand the meaning of professional experiences in learning practice. The results of the study showed that matching activities were carried out systematically and gradually, by adjusting the readiness and characteristics of the children. Its success is influenced by bonding, learning comfort, and practitioners' ability to adapt strategies. These findings are not only procedural, but also reflect the essence of narrative inquiry, which is the meaning of experiences that arise from the interaction between children and practitioners during the learning process.
