Abstract

Education for Special Needs Children (SNC), particularly those on the autism spectrum, requires unique and tailored teaching methods. This is due to significant differences in their learning processes compared to typical children. Therefore, the use of appropriate teaching tools and media is crucial to help children with autism better understand learning materials, including Chemistry lessons in inclusive schools. One approach that can be utilized is the development of learning based on computer vision technology. This technology is designed to assist SNC students and teachers in teaching chemical concepts through three-dimensional objects. Thus, the teaching and learning process is expected to become more effective and engaging for SNC students, especially in learning Chemistry. This research aims to integrate real objects with virtual elements in the chemistry learning environment at inclusive schools through the use of augmented reality (AR) and image tracking technology. Learning will take place in real-time, providing an opportunity for students with special needs to interact more intensively with the subject matter. The long-term goal of this research is to evaluate the positive impact of AR on the improvement of SNC students' learning outcomes in Chemistry. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the application of AR technology for Chemistry learning in inclusive schools, making the learning process more inclusive and effective.
