Does speed matter? A comparison of the effectiveness of fluency and discrete trial training for teaching noun labels to children with autism

ABSTRACTEducation is the right of every citizen regardless of any physical abnormality to form people who are faithful and devoted to God Almighty, have a noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and become democratic and responsible citizens. Thus, children with special needs have the right to get an education, including religious education as a solution in order to achieve these goals. Therefore, this study aims to train the ability of ablution for children with autism so that they can worship like children in general. This study uses the literature study method, namely by making observations on relevant library books and scientific articles and then concluding. The results of this study indicate that the Discrete Trial Training learning method has a positive impact on practicing ablution for children with autism, marked by a good response. In this method, there is a repetition of the behavior. Appropriate behavior is rewarded, while inappropriate behavior does not receive a reward, thus stimulating to show the expected behavior.Keywords: Discrete Trial Training, Wudu, Autism ABSTRAKPendidikan merupakan hak setiap warga negara tanpa memandang kelainan fisik apapun dengan tujuan membentuk manusia yang beriman dan bertakwa kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, berakhlak mulia, sehat, berilmu, cakap, kreatif, mandiri, dan menjadi warga negara yang demokratis serta bertanggung jawab. Dengan demikian, anak berkebutuhan khusus memiliki hak untuk mendapat pendidikan, termasuk pendidikan agama sebagai solusi dalam rangka mencapai tujuan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melatih kemampuan berwudhu bagi anak autis agar dapat beribadah seperti anak pada umumnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka, yaitu dengan melakukan observasi pada buku-buku perpustakaan dan artikel ilmiah yang relevan kemudian disimpulkan. Adapun hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode pembelajaran Discrete Trial Training memberi dampak positif dalam melatih kemampuan berwudhu bagi anak autis ditandai dengan adanya respon yang baik. Dalam metode ini terdapat pengulangan tingkah laku. Tingkah laku yang sesuai mendapat hadiah sedangkan tingkah laku yang tidak sesuai tidak mendapat hadiah sehingga merangsang untuk menunjukkan tingkah laku yang diharapkan.Kata Kunci: Discrete Trial Training, Berwudhu, Autis

Response Training

Heterogeneity of treatment response is common in children with autism spectrum disorder. Thus, many providers vary the intervention used based on child characteristics and learning domain. An improved understanding of how to match treatments to different children and domain areas may enhance efforts to individualize treatment and improve treatment response. This study evaluated the relative efficacy of discrete trial training and pivotal response training for teaching young children at risk for autism spectrum disorder receptive and expressive language, play, and imitation skills. Using a single-subject adapted alternating treatments design, children received both the treatments for 12 weeks. Data were collected during treatment and at 3-month follow-up. All participants acquired target skills in both treatments and demonstrated some generalization, maintenance, and spontaneous skill use. Pivotal response training and discrete trial training were each more effective for some children and domains. The results suggest that early rates of learning may be predictive of longer-term treatment response and useful in informing treatment decisions.
