Abstract
This study investigates the extent to which teachers implement differentiated instruction (DI) for learners with special educational needs (LSENs) across four dimensions: content, process, product, and learning environment. The data reveals a generally high level of implementation, particularly in the use of manipulatives, hands-on activities, and diverse presentation formats. Key resources such as manipulatives, printers, and sensory materials are frequently utilized, underscoring their importance in supporting DI strategies. A correlation analysis demonstrates a weak positive relationship between the availability of resource materials and the extent of DI implementation (r = 0.489, p = 0.000), highlighting the significance of resource availability in enhancing DI effectiveness. The findings suggest that adequate resources are crucial for the successful implementation of differentiated instruction, ultimately improving educational outcomes for LSENs.
