Abstract

This research aims to test the effectiveness of joint puzzle games in improving the social interaction skills of autistic students. The method used in this research is quasi-experimental using a one group pretest post test design. The treatment was carried out 5 times at a consecutive time to strengthen the positive behavior that occurred during the treatment. The data collection technique in this research uses learning outcomes test techniques, especially in the affective and observation aspects using tools in the form of learning outcomes test instruments and observation instruments. The results of the research show that joint puzzle games are effective in improving the social interaction skills of autistic students. This is also shown by the results of the Wilcoxon test analysis which shows a result of 0 ≤ 0 with a significance of 5%, so it can be said that joint puzzle games are effective in increasing the social interaction of autistic students.
