The Tahap Kesediaan Guru Arus Perdana Terhadap Pengajaran Murid Berkeperluan Khas (MBPK) di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Munshi Abdullah Sabak Bernam

<jats:p>Students with special needs are those with physical disabilities, such as limb impairments, or learning difficulties. This community is integrated into the Inclusive Education Programme (IEP). This IEP requires teachers to have the skills to address students with special needs in Teaching and Learning activities (TnL). However, the readiness level and positive attitude of some teachers remain unsatisfactory because they have not been adequately exposed to training in managing students with special needs. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the readiness level, explore mainstream teachers' knowledge of students with special needs, and identify the skills of mainstream teachers in dealing with students with special needs. The researcher used a quantitative approach through questionnaires distributed to 59 respondents consisting of mainstream teachers at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Munshi Abdullah Sabak Bernam. The researcher empirically analyzed the data using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 29.0 in a descriptive format. This study has implications for teaching practices, particularly in terms of readiness in addressing students with special needs. The study has shown that teachers have a high level of readiness to teach students with special needs at SMK Munshi Abdullah Sabak Bernam. This study is expected to provide guidance to researchers who will conduct further studies and to offer insights to relevant parties, especially school teachers, in dealing with Special Needs Students during the teaching and learning process.

Abstrak
 Program Pendidikan Inklusif (PPI) merupakan satu inisiatif yang mengintegrasikan murid berkeperluan khas (MBPK) ke dalam kelas arus perdana bagi memberikan peluang pembelajaran yang sama rata. Secara umum, MBPK merujuk kepada murid yang mempunyai ketidakupayaan dari segi fizikal, intelektual, emosi atau tingkah laku, dan memerlukan sokongan khusus dalam proses pembelajaran. Dalam konteks PPI, guru perlu memiliki kemahiran yang sesuai untuk menyantuni MBPK secara berkesan dalam Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (PdP). Namun, tahap kesediaan dan sikap positif seseorang guru itu masih berada pada tahap yang kurang memuaskan kerana guru-guru kurang diberikan pendedahan dengan latihan dalam menguruskan MBPK. Oleh itu, kajian ini mengkaji tahap kesediaan, meneroka pengetahuan guru arus perdana terhadap MBPK serta mengenalpasti kemahiran guru arus perdana terhadap MBPK. Kajian dijalankan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui soal selidik yang diedarkan kepada 59 orang guru arus perdana di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Munshi Abdullah Sabak Bernam. Penyelidik menganalisis data secara empirikal menggunakan SPSS versi 29.0 dalam bentuk deskriptif.  Hasil kajian telah memperlihatkan bahawa guru mempunyai tahap kesediaan yang tinggi dalam mengajar murid berkeperluan khas di SMK Munshi Abdullah Sabak Bernam. Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberi panduan kepada pengkaji yang akan menjalankan kajian lanjutan serta memberi pendedahan kepada pihak berkaitan khususnya guru sekolah dalam mendepani MBPK semasa PdP dijalankan.
