국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 특수교육 대상학생의 통합교육을 지원하기 위한 특수교육보조원 제도가 시행된 지 몇 년이 지난 현재, 특수교육보조원 제도의 인식과 환경 변화를 통한 특수교육보조원 제도가 어떻게 정착되어가는지를 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 이를 위해 2005년 특수교육보조원 기초과정 연수자 84명과 2007년 특수교육보조원 심화과정 연수자 205명의 일반학교 특수교육보조원을 대상으로 특수교육보조원 제도의 운영 실태 및 요구에 대해 시간차에 따른 비교 연구를 실시하였다. 연구의 내용은 특수교육보조원의 역할, 특수교육보조원의 선발 및 교육, 그리고 특수교육보조원의 근무 환경 등의 세 가지 영역에서 비교·분석을 통해, 특수교육보조원 제도의 변화 유형을 확인하였고, 이에 기초하여 특수교육보조원 제도의 효과적인 운영을 위해 시사점을 제시하였다.
