Abstract

The development of cognitive assessment for children with intellectual disabilities still faces limitations in terms of adaptability, efficiency, and utilization of digital technology. This study aims to develop Digital BRIIVE (Brilian Instrument Cognitive) as a website-based cognitive evaluation tool specifically designed to facilitate the assessment of basic thinking skills of students with intellectual disabilities. This development uses a Design-Based Research (DBR) model that includes the stages of needs analysis, system design, expert validation, design revision, and limited trials. This instrument measures aspects of cognitive development such as attention, working memory, and simple reasoning with the support of interactive visual and audio displays. The validation process was carried out by two validators, namely an expert in Special Education and a practicing teacher of Special Needs Education (SLB), covering aspects of appearance, content, language, and ease of use. The validation results showed an average score of 88% with a category of "very adequate". Revisions were made based on validator input, especially on simplifying the instruction language and increasing visual contrast. The limited trial involved five fourth-grade students with intellectual disabilities at Special Needs Education (SLB) C Autism Special Needs School in Kedungkandang, Malang. The results showed that students responded positively to the use of Digital BRIIVE, with increased motivation and ability to complete tests independently. Teachers also positively assessed the system's efficiency and ease of automatically displaying assessment results. Conceptually, Digital BRIIVE applies the principles of Universal Design for Learning and Dynamic Assessment, enabling adaptive and continuous assessment. The three-tier architecture system used ensures data stability and the security of the evaluation process. These findings indicate that Digital BRIIVE is feasible and effective as a technology-based cognitive assessment tool that is suited to the characteristics of children with special needs. The implications of this research strengthen the direction of digital transformation of special education assessment in Indonesia and open opportunities for the development of artificial intelligence-based instruments for more personalized and predictive evaluation in the future.
