Education is an important thing which is needed by everyone. It could change and evolve based on what is happening at the present time. One of the biggest factors that influence education comes from the industrial side, known as Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). There is a similar term in education known as Education 4.0 which follows the concept of IR 4.0. Education 4.0 focuses on responding to the needs of IR4.0 where human and technology are aligned to enable new possibilities (Hussin, 2018).There will be some inevitable shifts of replacing some of human workforces with technology, for example the robotic technology. This will eventually affect the next generation in terms of jobs availability, especially for special needs generation who already have limited choice of jobs. In Education 4.0, teaching and learning process focus more on the students instead of the teachers. The use of technology is crucial in Education 4.0 era in order to allow students to learn individually (Maria et al., 2018). Technology used in teaching and learning process could be in any form of courseware, mobile app, MOOC, interactive book, augmented reality, virtual reality, and many more. In order to implement Education 4.0 and follow the current trend of IR 4.0, technology should be used by every students including the special needs students. Special needs students vary based on their type of disorders and disabilities. This paper focuses on the Autistic students. Autism or known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a type of disorder related to brain development which affect the presence of social cognition, communication, and imagination (Keen, Reid & Arnone, 2010). The three impairments are considered as the most serious developmental disabilities which could be noticed within the first years of life (Noor, Shahbodin, & Pee, 2012).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
