This study aimed that I intended to examine the effects of dance movement therapy programs on self-efficacy of adolescent with intellectual disability by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS. I progressed to study on object of third class adolescent with intellectual disability who divided into two group such as 6 test group and 6 control group who attended to i - special education support center and they healed therapy class. In order to measure on self-efficacy of adolescent with intellectual disability, I used the questionnaire which made as criterion of self-efficacy by Shere(1982) and adapted by Hong, Hyeyeong(1995)and reconstituted to fit level of adolescent by Kim, Hyeonsuk(2001). After pretest, in the test group, I progressed dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS during 16 sessions and , in the control group, I identically had progress body strengthen exercise which progressed at the existing center. After 16 sessions, the conclusion from self-efficacy test about test group and control group as follows: The first, when I applied dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS, they improved their general self-efficacy which related routine life skill in comparison non-application group. The control group did not show definite change. That is to say, there was a meaningful difference between the group of body strengthen exercise and the group of dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS. So this dance movement therapy programs can be positively affected to improve on self-efficacy of adolescent with intellectual disability. he second, when I applied dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS, they mproved their social self-efficacy which related social interaction in comparison non-application group. he control group also have improved their social self-efficacy but it did not different greatly in comparison before application. The group which progressed dance movement therapy programs showed more definite improvement. There was a meaningful results in statistically. Therefore dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS can be positively affected to improve on social self-efficacy of adolescent with intellectual disability. The third, when I applied dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS, they improved their on the whole self-efficacy in comparison non-application group. The whole self-efficacy is meaning with a common designation for the general self-efficacy and the social self-efficacy. It means that self-efficacy of general situation and self-efficacy in the relation have improved together. Therefore dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS can be positively affected to improve on the whole self-efficacy of adolescent with intellectual disability. In the results of this study, we can see that dance movement therapy programs by application of Rudolf Laban’s BESS can be positively affected to improve on self-efficacy of adolescent with intellectual disability. herefore, through the results of this tudy if we apply special education programs and together dance movement therapy programs in all education site and local community, they can help to improve self-efficacy through movement education along with internal and external growth, I think. We will find more effective operation plan by introduce the program which can be easy participated in not only adolescent with intellectual disability but also from infant to adult.
