1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
One other component of teaching and learning process is the materials. A successful teaching and learning is when the materials are delivered and
transmitted effectively to the receivers. The materials play a big role in getting students’ interest and involvement, as we know that teaching autism students will
take more effort than teaching normal students. Teachers need more effort to make them in full concentration, full interest and involvement.
Author chooses to develop teaching and learning materials for autism students as the topic of the following thesis with these considerations:
1 Teaching and learning is one integrated activity and they cannot be
separated from the materials to be conveyed. 2
The teaching and learning materials are important as they have been considered as the knowledge that must be mastered by students.
3 Educating autism students is not easy.
4 There are many forms of materials that can be developed to gain
students’ concentration, involvement and interest which can be applied and practiced by teachers and students at the same time.
5 The author wishes to know and observes how the materials are
delivered to the autism students by teachers.
