In terms of the challenges of teachers in the utilization of SIM, the teachers have shared that they are having difficulties in finding resources and general difficulty in the development of SIMs. From these results, it is suggested that teachers help other teachers in the development of the strategic intervention materials. in the development process, challenges such as obtaining resources, technological issues, activity selection, and general difficulties with material creation may be solved.
