Untung Tuah Samarinda have two teachers in one
class. Teachers assistant job are also to arrange the
class room, to control the students, watch over the
students and some time they write on the blackboard.
English teacher also taught two classes in the same
time. She also teaches in the other school so she also
comes to the school on Tuesday which is in her
schedule. The other problem is teacher assistant the
background of study is not in education so it not
effective to manage the classroom especially students
with autism classroom.
Teachers method of teachingis useful to have an
understanding of the condition of the students with
autism, be acquainted with their ways of processing
information’s and benefit from previous experiences
in order to conduct the method of teaching. The
method of teaching that used by the English teachers
in Senior High School of School with Special Need
Untung Tuah Samarinda is different with teaching
English to normal students.
So, we can say that teaching method that is used
by the English teacher in SLB Untung Tuah is
explicit instruction but sometime they didn’t really
use specific teaching method to teach. Sometime
English teacher used song to teach their students to
get students attention or ask students to go to outside
and find out the meaning of particular thing in
outside of the class that they don’t know.
The process of teaching and learning largely
depends on the available teaching materials. Today
there are a wide range of teaching aids which can be
audio, video, books, DVDs etc. Teaching aids are
those materials that help the teachers explain better
knowledge and help the students understand. It is
like the picture of the lesson. It is especially
important in lessons or topics that are strange to the
kids. E.g. if you were teaching a group of kids in a
remote village with no civilization about types of
houses, you will need a picture or a DVD showing
the different houses and their names because most
probably these kids have never seen or heard of
such. There are many other tested teaching tools and
resources that have had a great impact in improving
learning processes for students. If you are a teacher
and have not use any of the free or paid available
teaching aids today, you will immediate see the
difference in regards to your students’ performance
once you try it.
The observations also show that, teaching aids
that is used by English teacher in SLB Untung Tuah
were electronic dictionary, picture, video and props.
They use teaching aids to make the students easy to
understand. Teaching aids is used in teaching
English for students with autism in SLB Untung
Tuah. It is important to bring new technology into
the classroom. Devices used are more lightweight
than books and PCs. Mobile learning can be used to
diversify the types of learning activities students (or
a blended learning approach). Mobile learning
supports the learning process rather than being
integral to it. Mobile learning can be a useful add-on
tool for students with special needs. However, for
SMS and MMS this might be dependent on the
students’ specific disabilities or difficulties involved.
Mobile learning can be used as a ‘hook’ to re-engage
disaffected youth.
The results show that English teacher in SLB
Untung Tuah Samarinda manage their class use
direct approach to managing and directing their
classrooms, others focus on building a friendly,
collaborative relationship with their students. So, in
particular class they have two teachers to managing
and directing their classrooms, others focus on
building a friendly, collaborative relationship with
their students. One English teacher and one teacher
assistant who help English teacher to manage the
classroom.
The reason why they still need teacher assistant
because English teacher need someone to watch over
the students when learning and teaching process and
also in one class they at nine students and sometime
the students barely scream without any reason
Teachers assistant job are to arrange the class
room, to control the students, watch over the students
and some time they write on the blackboard. The
other reason is. English teacher also taught two
classes in the same time. She also teaches in the other
school so she also comes to the school on Tuesday
which is in her schedule. The other problem is
teacher assistant the background of study is not in
education so it not effective to manage the classroom
especially students with autism classroom.
3.5 Teachers Plan Formulated Model
Education for All (Ontario Ministry of Education,
2007a), provides educators with recommendations
on a broad range of techniques to enhance the
instruction of students with special education needs,
including those with ASD. The report provides
information on the use of the principles of Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) and differentiated
instruction to plan for and respond to students with
various needs. Learning is a continuum and every
student is a unique learner. Flexible, supportive, and
adjustable classrooms and programs must be
planned and developed to meet the learning needs of
individual students. These are important
considerations in the planning of programs for
students with ASD.
