Danuri, permanent lecturer in the PGSD S-1 Study Program at PGRI Yogyakarta University, was declared to have graduated with honors. Danuri was declared to have passed the dissertation examination for the Mathematics Education Doctoral Program at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Semarang State University, Monday 11 December 2023.

Danuri in his dissertation entitled “Numeracy Literacy and Math Self Concept of Inclusive Elementary School Students in an E-Module Based Differentiated Learning Model” revealed that numeracy literacy and math self concept both influence the development of a person’s knowledge and self-skills. He also revealed the fact that inclusive elementary schools are not yet facilitated with learning that accommodates numeracy literacy and math self-concept.
The results of the research show that numeracy literacy is in poor criteria, while math self-concept is in good criteria. Numeracy literacy and math self-concept are influenced by the quality of teaching, availability of resources, inclusive learning environment, and special educational needs by Special Guidance Teachers (GPK). Apart from that, other influences arise from the level of understanding possessed by students, low numeracy literacy criteria, learning motivation, and the child’s sense of will. Meanwhile, math self-concept is influenced by previous learning experiences, quality of teaching, support from peers, and inclusive schools with GPK. Danuri in his dissertation revealed that barriers to learning are differences in special educational needs, limited resources, teacher skills and knowledge, learning environment, negative stigma towards children with special needs (ABK).
