The purpose of this study is to investigate deaf parents’ language choice in experiences of rearing their deaf children. A literature review was conducted, and an in-depth interview with five deaf parents who have deaf children. The conclusion of this study is as follows: First, the deaf parents who participated in this study were shocked when they noticed their children were deaf and such psychological shock gradually disappeared as their children started to use sign language. Second, most of the deaf parents had negative perception of cochlear implant surgery and rather hoped their deaf children to grow up deaf. Third, the deaf parents used sign language rearing their children and as a result their deaf children naturally obtained sign language skills. In this way the children were positively influenced in their emotional stability and language development. Fourth, the deaf parents taught their children how to interpret writings by reading the children fairy tales using sign language and helped their understanding by explaining what their children did not comprehend in an easy way using sign language for the deaf. Fifth, all of the deaf parents wanted to send their children to a school for the deaf but were concerned about school teachers’ abilities to use sign language.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of creation and acculturation of special classes from 1970 to 1974, thereby looking into the background behind the formation of the first special class and how it has changed thereafter. To establish this purpose, a primary literature research, site visits, and interviews with relevant people were conducted. The conclusion of this study is as follows: First, unlike what has been known so far, the special class in Daegu Chilsung Elementary School, the first special class for mentally retarded students, was formally included in the school system in 1970, not in 1971. This class was not spontaneously formed for educational salvage, it was made under the planning of those concerned with special education in Gyeongbuk, with an obvious goal of special education to guarantee education for mentally retarded students within an ordinary school. Second, special classes, which first started to be established in Gyeongbuk Province, was expanded in 1974 to the whole nation by the Department for Education, so their goal was characterized more by educational salvage than by special education. At that time general education was going through two sweeping changes: the expansion of mandatory education and the system of middle school entrance with no exam. During this process, the Ministry increased the number of special classes so that they could play a makeshift role of educational salvage, rather than taking education for poor learners and mentally retarded students. Furthermore, the organization employed special classes to discourage mentally retarded students from advancing to junior high schools. Third, special classes labelled poor learners mentally retarded. In addition, more emphasis was placed on educational salvage of poor learners, so education of mentally retarded students was largely neglected. As a result a large majority of the mentally retarded did not ender junior high schools. All the conditions above cemented the negative image of special classes and strongly influenced their identity in later years. For special classes to guarantee satisfaction of disabled students’individual educational needs and to play a role suitable for an era of integral education, new relationship with general education should be established and their original goal of special education at the time when their were first established should be pursued.

The purpose of this study is to investigate influence of medical field, parents’ perception and social circumstances on the parents’ choice to use cochlear implants for deaf children. A literature review was conducted, and an in-depth interview was carried out for four parents who had their children use an cochlear implants. The conclusion of this study is as follows: First, several factors strengthening of early detection and diagnosis system, application of medical insurance to the operation, argument in medical field that early operation leads to better result affected parents’ choice. Second, parents of deaf children were concerned about using a hearing aid for risk of further deteriorating hearing ability, and had negative ideas about Sign language. The parents received limited information on deaf community and Sign language. In comparison, in Japan, parents had access to a wide range of information, and increasingly more parents chose to provide bilingual language education for deaf children. Provision of diverse information helped parents’ choice and brought about changes in education for deaf children. In addition, more information should be offered on the rehabilitation process of cochlear implants, and influence of the operation on the children’s overall development in life. Information about deaf community should convey to parents of deaf children. The recent studies on bilingual language education for deaf children need to be introduced to the parents. To do so, deaf education should explore how to build a network between deaf community and parents of deaf children.

이 연구는 코로나19 상황 속에서 수어를 제1언어로 사용하는 농인의 일상생활 경험을 심층적으로 탐색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 5명의 농인을 연구참여자로 선정하여 수어를 통한 개별 심층면담을 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 주제분석방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 코로나19 상황 속에서 농인들은 수어통역을 매개하지 않는 농인과 청인의 의사소통, 농인과 청인을 잇는 수어통역, 농인과 농인 간의 관계에서 모두 소통의 단절과 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 마스크를 착용해야 하는 일상 속에서 농인은 청인이 무슨 말을 하는 지입모양을 볼 수 없었다. 코로나19 검사 예약 및 자가격리 상황 속에서도 전화로만 대응하고 있었다. 비대면 방식의 수어통역은 얼굴 표정이 정확하게 보이지 않아, 의미전달의 정확성이 요구되는 의료현장에서 한계를 드러내었다. 코로나19 선별진료소에서는 어떤 의사소통지원도 제공되지 않았다. 농인과 농인간의 멀어진 사회적 거리는 농인 간의 정보공유의 제한과 대화에 대한 욕구가 해소되지 않는 문제로 귀결되었다. 이를 토대로 코로나19 및 포스트코로나 시대에 대응하기 위한 청각장애인 지원체계에 대한 제언과 장애인 내부의 차이를 드러내는 후속 연구의 필요성에 대해 제언하였다. This study sought to explore in-depth the daily life experiences of Deaf people using sign language as their first language in the COVID-19 situation. To this purpose, we selected six Deaf people as research participants and conducted individual in-depth interviews in sign language. And then we analyzed the collected in-depth interview data through using the thematic analysis method. As a result of the study, in the COVID-19 situation, Deaf people were having difficulty in communicating with Deaf person and hearing person who did not mediate sign language interpretation, in sign language interpreting linking Deaf person and hearing person, and in relationships between Deaf people. In the daily routine of wearing a mask, the Deaf people could not see what the hearing people were saying. Even in the situation of appointment for COVID-19 inspection and self-quarantine, they were only responding by phone. The contactless sign language interpretation revealed its limitations at medical fields where accuracy of semantic transfer is required because the facial expression is not accurately visible. No communication support was provided at the COVID-19 screening centers. The social distance between Deaf people resulted in the problem of restrictions on information sharing and the desire for conversation between them. Based on this, we suggested the need for a support system for the Deaf people to cope with the COVID-19 and post-COVID era and a follow-up study that reveals differences within the disabled.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to empirically analyze how changes in social and policy perceptions and approaches to caring for the disabled are reflected in academic discourse using text mining techniques. [Methods] The analysis targeted the 170 papers in the Korean Citation Index, registered between January 2005 and March 2022, that included the term care for the disabled. After examining the distribution of articles by period of publication and academic discipline, keyword frequency analysis, semantic network analysis, and topic modeling were conducted using the Korean-languages titles and abstracts. To examine periodic trends, publication dates were divided into four periods, namely the late 2000s, early 2010s, late 2010s, and early 2020s. [Results] First, papers about caring for disabled people have increased significantly in recent years and have been produced across various academic fields. Second, the keyword frequency and semantic network analyses show that terms relating to family care, such as 'children', 'mother', 'parent', and 'family', have high frequency and high centrality throughout the publication period. On the other hand, keywords relating to social care, such as ‘self-reliance’, ‘de-facility’, and ‘community integrated care’, occupy more peripheral positions. In the analysis by period, the frequency of family-based keywords was maintained while their centrality decreased somewhat, and both the frequency and centrality of 'community' gradually increased. Third, topic modeling for this research on caring for the disabled extracted four groups: Topic 1 is support for community-care services for those with developmental disabilities; Topic 2 is personal assistant services and care labor; Topic 3 is the burden on parents and families of caring for children with disabilities and social support for them; and Topic 4 is the care experience and stress of mothers caring for children with developmental disabilities. The number of articles in the social care Topics 1 and 2 increased significantly over time, and family-based articles in Topics 3 and 4 accounted for a large proportion of research throughout. [Conclusion] In the context of caring for the disabled, the research paradigm that the family is the main agent of care while society plays a partial role has persisted. This suggests a necessity for academic discourse that promotes the socialization of care.

본 연구는 고령 지체장애인의 스마트 토이에 대한 이용 만족도와 사용 경험을 탐색하여 스마트 토이에 대한 효용성을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 고령의 지체장애인, 뇌병변장애인 12명을 대상으로 스마트 토이를 두 달간 사용하게 한 후 이용 만족도와 사용 경험을 알아보았다. 이용 만족도는 전체를 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였고, 사용 경험은 2명을 선정한 후 가정에서 반구조화된 면담 질문지를 활용하여 면담을 실시하였다. 영역별 이용 만족도 분석결과 ‘재이용 의도(4.75)’가 가장 높게 나타났고, ‘불쾌감(1.46)’이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 성별에 따른 집단 간 중심 비교 분석 결과는 여성이용자의 재이용 의도(4.79) 가장 높았고, 남성 이용자의 불쾌감(1.20)이 가장 낮았다. 또한, 독거하는 고령 지체장애인이 가족과 동거하는 고령 지체장애인에 비해 스마트 토이에 더 친숙하게 인식하였다. 사용 경험의 분석결과는 주로 사용한 기능들과 스마트 토이의 사용과 조작에 대한 만족도와 개선 요구를 파악할 수 있었고, 스마트 토이에 대한 정서적 반응을 보인 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 스마트 토이에 대한 고령 지체장애인의 일상생활 지원을 위한 도구적 역할을 확인 하였으며, 고령 지체장애인으로 스마트 토이 적용과 연구의 활성화를 위한 제언을 제시하였다. The purpose of this study was to explore the satisfaction of using smart toys and their experience in using them for the elderly retarded people to find out the utility of smart toys. After having 12 people with cerebral palsy use smart toys for two months, we looked at their satisfaction and experience. The satisfaction level of use was surveyed for the entire group, and the experience of using two people was selected and the interview was conducted using semi-structured interview questions at home. According to the analysis of satisfaction level by area, ‘intention to reuse(4.75)’ was the highest, and ‘discomfort(1.46)’ was the lowest. The results of the cross-group comparative analysis by gender showed that female users had the highest ‘intention to reuse(4.79)’, while male users had the lowest ‘discomfort(1.20)’. In addition, the elderly people living alone were more familiar with smart toys than the elderly people living with their families. The analysis results of the use experience were able to identify the main functions used, satisfaction with the use and operation of smart toys, and the need for improvement, and the emotional response to smart toys. This study confirmed the role of tools for supporting daily life of the elderly retarded on smart toys, and suggested suggestions for the application of smart toys and the expansion of research.

This study drew following three main conclusions through discussing scholastic history of education for the hearing impaired from the 1980s to the middle of the 1990s in Korea. First, “KKoorreeaann sign language dictionary dictionary” (1982) was compiled for the first time in writing area, and it can be given by a main outcome that the ““HHaannddbbooookk of the hearing impairment impairment”(1992) (was published encompassing medical care, education, and welfare by Korean Society for the Hearing Impaired in an early stage in 1990s. Translated books such as “TToottaall communication communication”(1984) (are introduced, and it is worth paying attention to TC approach applied formally by national standard of curriculum(1989). Second, the study capacity of the individual was improved by continuously publishing doctoral dissertation in the area of education for the hearing impairment. Also the speciality of this field has begun to be placed surely by a university and a graduate school. Finally, when seeing academic tendency of education research for the hearing impairment in this time, most of researchers showed intensive interest to improving communication skills for children with hearing impairment, whereas subject matter which is an essential task in education was neglected excessively. Also, in methodology of research, researchers depended more on a descriptive analysis and a quantitative technique, but longitudinal and qualitative study was relatively weak.
