The quantitative article by Yusuf, Choiri, and Gunarhadi (2018) examined the effectiveness of inclusive education training for educators using the main learning material (BPU) of Inclusive Education and The Child Protection as a compulsory course in the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University. Participants in the study included 25 lecturers from 25 programs at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education they were both lecturers and candidates of lecturers for inclusive education at the faculty. They had varied educational backgrounds but not from a special education program. The study employed experimental approaches that involved pre and post-test. The collection of data included involved the use of a special instrument that measures the concept of comprehension test and the substance of inclusive education, which included 25 questions. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistical analysis technique continued t-test for difference test with a significant level of 0.05. It was predicted that the training would be declared effective when the t-test result was found to be smaller than the probability of 0.05.

The results showed a difference between the mean score of pretest and posttest (17,32-19,84). The paired sample t-test was used to find out whether there was a statistically significant difference in the distance run between the two trials.

The article provides valuable and valid insights about the critical role played by inclusive education training and child protection in improving the understanding of the concept and substance of study for lecturers in higher education.

The quantitative article by Yusuf, Choiri, and Gunarhadi (2018)
examined the effectiveness of inclusive education training for
educators using the main learning material (BPU) of Inclusive
Education and The Child Protection as a compulsory course in
the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret
University. Participants in the study included 25 lecturers from
25 programs at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education
they were both lecturers and candidates of lecturers for
inclusive education at the faculty. They had varied educational
backgrounds but not from a special education program. The
study employed experimental approaches that involved pre and
post-test. The collection of data included involved the use of a
special instrument that measures the concept of comprehension
test and the substance of inclusive education, which included 25
questions. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive
statistical analysis technique continued t-test for difference test
with a significant level of 0.05. It was predicted that the
training would be declared effective when the t-test result was
found to be smaller than the probability of 0.05. Comment by

in doctoral writing... reviewers frown upon the word "that" try
to avoid as much as possible by adding -ing on the verb.
The results showed a difference between the mean score of
pretest and posttest (17,32-19,84). The paired sample t-test was
used to find out whether there was a statistically significant
difference in the distance run between the two trials. It was
indicated that the p-value was lower than the alpha value
(0,000<0,05). This was used to establish that training teachers
using the main learning material (BPU) of Inclusive Education
and The Child Protection enhances the comprehension in
understanding inclusive education courses as a compulsory
3. course in the faculty.
Analysis
The article provides valuable and valid insights about the
critical role played by inclusive education training and child
protection in improving the understanding of the concept and
substance of study for lecturers in higher education. A
significance level of 0.05 shows that there is a 5% risk of
concluding the existence of a difference when there is no actual
difference. This is accepted as a reasonable choice in most
circumstances (Filho, et al., 2017). The adoption of this level of
significance shows the conclusion is valid. However, this level
of significance implies that there is a risk of a 5% risk that the
conclusion may not be valid. The major threats to validity
include the pretest and posttest effect and Hawthorne effects.
Using a pretest and posttest approach means that results are
obtained only after pretest and posttest, which implies that
errors in one step could compromise the validity. Concerning
the Hawthorne effect, participants in the study might have
altered their behavior and comprehension ability due to the
awareness that they are being studied. Comment by Marlo
Jackson: what is this?
An important weakness in the study is that the authors refer to
existing literature sparingly. This is noticed in the literature
review section where most of the information included is not
attributed. For example, an entire paragraph only contains one
citation, which shows a limited review of existing literature in
the field. Additionally, some of the sources used in the study
are not current. For example, the study includes sources
published in the 1990s, thus failing to recognize the crucial
importance of relying on current knowledge in the field to
inform the direction of the present study. Another weakness is
the limited extent to which the results can be generalized
because of the study’s limited focus on lecturers and
participants from a single faculty. This limits the generalization
of the finds to other faculties, institutions, and groups that do
not constitute lecturers.
4. There are several opportunities for further research not
mentioned in the article. Further, more research should be
conducted to establish whether the findings can be replicated to
other settings, that is, other faculties in other universities across
the country. The study only focused on a single faculty in a
single university, that is, Faculty of Teacher Training and
Education, Sebelas Maret University. Second, more research is
required to establish other factors that could help in improving
the understanding of lecturers in using and understanding the
main learning book of inclusive education and child protection.
This is because inclusive education and child protection is not
the only factor to enhance comprehension. Determining other
factors and employing them together with the proposed
approach in the study would foster better comprehension. Third,
research should be conducted to establish how the influence of
inclusive education on lecturer comprehension is linked to
improved services for students with special needs.
The findings of the study reinforce the importance of ensuring
that wrong concepts are not understood, which would result in
wrong services delivered to children with special needs learning
from inclusive classrooms. Requiring students with special
needs to receive education from inclusive classrooms should
follow efforts to accommodate their particular needs. All
teachers, including those being trained for regular schools,
should be trained on the important aspects of inclusive
education. This includes helping them to modify their attitudes
about students with special needs and enhancing their skills and
knowledge to ensure that they are matched with the needs of
this category of students.
