LIFE SKILL DIMENSION BASED ON UNIFIED SPORTS SOCCER PROGRAM IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY

Abstract

This article aims to find out the optimization of 21st-century life skill dimension based on unified sports soccer program on physical education of Intellectual Disability. The 21st-century education dimension includes knowledge, skill, and character integrated into life skill in everyday life. Today the concept of education for all is included for Intellectual Disability. Children with Intellectual Disability, characteristic physiological and psychological characteristics are characterized by limited intelligence, social, and other mental functions. In this regard, it is necessary to have special handling programs to solve life skill problems especially in physical education for Intellectual Disability. Inappropriate programs will have a more complex impact on Intellectual Disability life skill. Life skill formation program needs to be given in the form of a sports game, one of them is a unified sports soccer program. Unified programs are characterized by Intellectual Disability and non- Intellectual Disability activities as partners in teams, with Intellectual Disability child-specific tasks as goal scorers and non- Intellectual Disability feeders. This program provides self-exploration for Intellectual Disability children to boost confidence after scoring goals, and for partners to generate trust in friends (Intellectual Disability). Based on research experts note that unified sports soccer programs have a positive impact on behavior, friendship activity, adjective, inclusive of social factor, adaptive program, and individual development on Intellectual Disability. Therefore, the formation of life skill based on unified sports soccer program is suitable for use on Intellectual Disability as the implementation of physical education in the 21st century.
