Abstract
This study aims to identify the learning needs of deaf students in internship programs, examine the challenges they face, develop appropriate solutions, and design as well as evaluate a visual module-based learning model to improve their work skills. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The participants included deaf students from special needs high schools (SMALB) involved in vocational internships, mentor teachers, and industry supervisors. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and focus group discussions, and analyzed using qualitative techniques supported by descriptive analysis. The findings indicate that deaf students require visual, structured, and easily understandable work instructions supported by symbols, color codes, and guidance materials. Major challenges include limited verbal communication, difficulty understanding instructions, and risks of procedural errors. To address these issues, a systematic and communicative visual module-based learning model was developed, incorporating collaborative support from schools and industry. The resulting model integrates planning, implementation, mentoring, and evaluation stages, and has proven feasible and effective in enhancing students’ independence, technical competence, and overall work readiness.
