효율적인 통합교육 실행방안에 관한 연구 = A Study on Effective Inclusion Method in School Environments

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to suggest an effective method of inclusion in school settings. Inclusion is a very hot issue in current Korean special education, but most research has focused only on what to teach (program) not on how to carry out (method). The results of this study are followings: a) based on prior research, learning through practical experience is more effective than academic learning and partial inclusion is prerequisite for future practice of full inclusion; b) the process of inclusion should have three stages of preparation, practice, and extension and generalization. The preparation stage means analyzation of data such as literature review, level of awareness on inclusion, and student diagnosis. In the second stage, inclusive education plans and methods have to be set up and programs for cooperation between teachers, students, and parents are recommended. The stage three gives chances of various practical experience to students for generalization of learning; c) it is necessary to have more support for human resources, facilities, physical environments (e.g. student/teacher ratio), related services, budget, and school management.
