Abstract:
Intellectual Disability is a term for people who have below average intellectual and cognitive abilities. They can be recognized by their slower thinking and learning processes compared to other children of their age. Mildly mentally retarded children only have an IQ score of 50/55 to approximately 70. The most common difficulty faced by them at school is learning mathematics. One of the materials is number counting operations. The learning process for mathematics in the classroom is currently still carried out conventionally, either verbally or using blackboard media. This causes children with special needs to be less interested in learning mathematics because they have difficulty understanding the material provided. Based on these problems, an interaction design is needed to learn mathematics interactively, especially for number counting operation materials. The objective of this research is to facilitate the children to learn number operations through learning media with interactive design. The design process is carried out using the User Centered Design method where the needs of children will be the main focus. The process starts from understanding the context of use which includes problem analysis and the current learning process, up to the evaluation process. The native prototype is the final result of this research. The evaluation results through the qualitative usability test show that the success rate of children’s interaction using the prototype that have been made by completing the tasks given is 92%. © 2023 IEEE.
