Abstract

The advantages of this study are to identify the problems accomplished by universities in fulfilling the educational rights of people with mental retardation in obtaining services in the teaching and learning process, and describe the efforts to solve the problems experienced by Universitas Negeri Surabaya in implementing the teaching and learning process for people with mental retardation; this research method uses a qualitative approach which results in a descriptive implementation of the learning process for mentally retarded students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Data were collected using field observation methods, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and in-depth interviews. Primary data were obtained through participating observation techniques and in-depth interviews. This research is also strengthened by extracting secondary data. The outcome of this research shows that the fulfillment of the right to intellectually latest education at Universitas Negeri Surabaya has been as maximal as possible but it cannot be balanced with the ability of mentally retarded students, who incidentally have IQs between 50-70. Mentally retarded students find it difficult to accept lecture materials and assign teaching and learning activities. Recommendations in this research, Universitas Negeri Surabaya should be more prepared in the process of accepting mentally retarded students, the learning process and evaluation process for students, and the formation of a special team for handling mental retardation in collaboration with PSLD (Center for Disability Studies and Services).
