Abstract

This case study explores the development of independence in an elementary school-aged child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Using qualitative methods—including direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis—the study identified key factors that facilitated independent behavior in both home and school settings. The child demonstrated increased autonomy in daily tasks such as toileting, dressing, and class participation, particularly when supported by structured interventions including visual schedules, task analysis, and token reinforcement systems. A significant finding was the role of consistent collaboration between parents and teachers, which enabled the child to generalize skills across environments. These results affirm the importance of individualized support strategies and inter-setting consistency in promoting independence among children with ASD. The study concludes by recommending sustained, context-sensitive interventions and further research across multiple participants and settings to inform evidence-based practices in special education.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the excellence in the use of two types of scale by comparing the Likert Scale and the Semantic Differential Scale. In addition, the study aims to identify the constructs of the Mendeley application as well as the indicators that it has shaped. The study itself is developmental research. The instruments for the Likert Scale and the Semantic Scale have been developed by referring to the same guidelines. Then, the respondents in the study are 59 journal administrators throughout Indonesia. After the data have been gathered, the data are analysed by using the exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis. The results of the study show that four factors that have been formed in the construction for the Mendeley application using the two scales. Based on the measurement results, it is found that Semantic Differential Scale is more excellent in terms of validity and reliability.
