Abstract

The study aims to analyze the Floortime Approach to Improving Side-rolling Learning Outcomes in Adaptive Physical Education Learning in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Students. This study is a class action study. Research is conducted in 2 cycles, while each cycle has four components (planning, action, observation, and reflection). The study participants were two students of grade II ASD (ages 9 and 10 years old (M = 9.5) at the Extraordinary School "X". The instruments used in the study were the results of side-rolling learning tests, student participation observation guidelines, teacher performance observation guidelines, and documentation of the learning process. Data analysis uses three stages and is accompanied by the calculation of success indicators. The results of a cycle I score have shown an increase in ability but have not been able to reach KKM. The next step is to take action on cycle II. The results of score in cycle II increased, from 2 both students who received learning treatment with a floortime approach. Therefore this approach can be used to improve side-rolling learning outcomes in ASD students' adaptive physical education learning. The contribution of this research is that the teacher or reader can adapt the design of ASD learning. © 2021, Drustvo Pedagoga Tjelesne i Zdravstvene Kulture. All rights reserved.
