Recently the shift of paradigm is making the trend of full inclusion education to be increased for preschool children with disabilities. For the successful full inclusion it is important for preschool children without disabilities(PCW) to change their perception toward preschool children with disabilities (PCD).
So this study investigated the effect of the literature approach using the anti-bias picture book on the perception change of PCW to PCD. Subject of this study were 40 PCW(control group 20, experimental group 20) aged 5 years in a kindergarten, Seoul. Each group was composed 10 females and 10 males.
The conclusion drawn from of this study are as follows;
First, the literature approach using the anti-bias picture book takes influences effectively on the perception change of PCW to PCD.
In the result of this study there were statistically significant differences between experimental group and control group. Preschool Children of experimental group showed the positive perception change in the aspect of understanding PCW and in the aspect of joint activity with PCD.
Second, there is not significant differences on the perception change between females and males after the literature approach using the anti-bias picture book.
No statistically significant differences observed between females and males in the aspect of understanding PCD and in the aspect of joint activity with PCD.
Through the conclusion and discussion of this study, some suggestions are considered as follows;
First, because this study did not carry out following examine, it can not prove of continuous geeectiveness of the literature approach using the anti-bias picture book. So following studies need to research the continuous effectiveness of this program.
Second, following studies need to examine the perception change not in picture book but in the general environment with preschool children with disabilities.
Third, following studies need to use various programs such as TV, VTR, Multimedia program etc. for perception change to preschool children with disabilities.
Fourth, it is need to systematic program with administrative and financial supports to practice full inclusion for preschool children with disabilities.
