The paper describes a method of assessing life competencies in elementary school students The new pragmatic and system-based standards in education dictate the relevance of the development of instruments that assess life competencies.According to the activity-focused educational standard, the competencies are considered as a complex of the child’s regulation abilities, the ability to apply skills under specific conditions, and efficient social interaction.The proposed innovative method of assessing life competencies is based on the following principles: the assessment is carried while observing the child in a typical school situation; there are 5 levels of competency development ranging from the independent application of basic skills in routine situations to internally motivated creative activity; the revealed deficits are categorized according to the areas of mental functioning; multidimensional scaling enables determination of competency levels, their application fields, and deficit areas, providing insight into possible causes of learning disabilities.This method can be used by teachers and in all general and special education populations including children with autism spectrum disorders.The assessment outcomes can be applied in exploring the specifics of life competencies as well as in optimizing the learning and developmental processes within the framework of individual approach.

AbstractAround 30% of elementary school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are considered minimally verbal, yet there is limited research addressing the needs of this group of students. Several recent studies have demonstrated successful improvement of the communication skills of elementary school students with limited verbal skills. Additionally, there are focused intervention practices that are evidence based and may be useful in targeting communication skills for children with ASD who are minimally verbal. This article will review existing information about interventions to target communication skills in elementary school children with ASD who are minimally verbal, identify potential target skills, and provide case examples of how to embed communication interventions in elementary school classroom settings from a pilot intervention study.

Mathematics is a subject that is clearly understood. Likewise, mathematical material seems difficult, one of which is about rotary symmetry. This material is difficult because it requires extra understanding, logic and imagination. For this reason, a siputspin learning media was made to facilitate students. This research was appointed because the author wants to know how much influence the media of siputspin learning makes it easier for fifth grade elementary school students to understand the material of rotating symmetry. The author uses an experimental method whose data source is obtained consisting of interviews, observations, questionnaires, and book reviews. The subjects of this study consisted of several fifth grade elementary school students in Yogyakarta. Determination of the subject is done by random sampling. Data collection techniques are done by interviewing and filling in questionnaires with students and direct observation in class. The data of this study were analyzed descriptively quantitative and qualitative. The results showed that the siputspin learning media can make it easier for students to understand rotational symmetry material. Nevertheless, there are still a number of things that need to be improved from the siputspin learning media to be more effectively applied.
