Integrated Learning of Autistics in Primary School through Computer

Abstract

Various types of computer multimedia are used for education. It is questioned if autism could relieve or learn anything through this media. The sample group consisted of five autistic students, in the school, aged between 11-15 years old. Integrate art activities, game and folklore on computer multimedia were designed to be a tool for autistic learning. They were observed and tested to find out the result. After six weeks learning by integrated activities; art, game and folklore through computer multimedia, They all improved their abilities to learn about colors. Four in five autistics students' behaviors was improved in every aspect.

Technologies as Support Tools for Persons with Autistic Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review

“…The dedicated applications center on working on facial expressions [68], imagination [66], or learning colors [70] and robots focus on imitation [108,109]. …”

“…Invasive techniques have not been used in the studies reviewed. They do not pose risks to users or intrude in any way [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81…”

“…The researchers conducting these studies have indicated that these technologies can also foster learning and imitation of several social skills, which is the case of mixed reality, by crossing the street or learning play skills [ 39 ]. The dedicated applications center on working on facial expressions [ 68 ], imagination [ 66 ], or learning colors [ 70 ] and robots focus on imitation [ 108 , 109 ].…”

“…Chanchalor et al [ 70 ] demonstrated that computer games which included art activities and songs improved the capacity of the five participating children to learn colors and develop their imagination after using them for 6 weeks. Thus, they confirmed that adapted tools are useful to work on and improve skills.…”
