The selection of appropriate teaching methods and strategies for Special Education teachers plays an important role in the effectiveness of Teaching and Facilitation (PdPc) sessions, especially in Mathematics subjects. This is because Special Educational Needs (SEN) have various problems to follow PdPc sessions more effectively because they easily lose focus and get bored quickly. However, Special Education teachers have constraints in implementing gamification methods due to lack of knowledge and skills. Therefore, the gamification method is seen as one of the alternatives that can be used to increase the effectiveness of PdPc Mathematics sessions. This study uses the Component Model of User Experience (CUE) (2007) to see the usability of gamification methods in PdPc Mathematics sessions from the point of view of Special Education teachers. The design of this study uses survey research and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software to analyze the data. A total of 50 Special Education teachers were involved in this study and were given a usability questionnaire to get the views of Special Education teachers in terms of usefulness, satisfaction and ease of use. The findings of the study show positive feedback from Special Education teachers regarding usability in terms of usefulness, satisfaction and ease of use with high agreement on the mean score. Therefore, the gamification method clearly shows high usability among Special Education teachers for PdPc Mathematics sessions.
