PENGEMBANGAN MODEL MODIFIKASI PERILAKU SOSIAL MELALUI MEDIA BELAJAR BERKONSEP KONVERGENSI BAGI ANAK AUTIS
Abstract: The study is aimed
at developing a model of social behaviour modifaction through a
convergence-based learning media for autistic children at special schools. More
specifically, the study is to describe (1) conditions and characteristics of autistic
children, (2) competencies for language, academic, and pre-academic, and (3)
development of the modification media. The study is developmental in two
phases, namely (1) pre-development, and (2) development. The subjects are 10
autistic children from Bina Anggita special schools and leading special schools
in the province chosen through purposive sampling by grade levels and class
activities. The pre-development data are collected through observation and
interviews; the development data through theoretical analysis and pre-research.
Data are analyzed by a descriptive qualitative technique. Findings show (1) in
the pre-development, subjects are (a) able to do a short eye contact, (b) have
low pre-academic and academic conditions, and (c) not able to keep eye contact
for five seconds, tend to have tantrums, weep for no reason, laugh,
self-stimulate, mumble, and have short attention span; (2) convergence-based
hypothetical plan for development steps: (a) assessment of social behaviours,
(b) development of learning themes and sub-themes, (c) design of
convergence-based learning media, (d) procedures of social behaviour
modification merged in learning activities, and (e) monitoring and evaluation
of outcomes of the subjects’ behaviour changes
