특수교육보조원의 활용 및 관리 방안 = Effective Ways to Utilize and Supervise Paraprofessionals for Students with Disabilities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Officially subsidized paraprofessional system for students with disabilities has been implemented nationwide since March, 2004 for the purpose of improving the quality of general special education environment, especially providing a tailored support for students with disabilities in inclusive settings. According to the reports by foreign countries that previously opted for the system, it is of importance to consider not only expected positive effects but various adverse effects that the system might produce. Inappropriate management of paraprofessionals in general was picked the most as a cause of those negatives effects, exampled in more detail by a lack of awareness of how to utilize the system by teachers who are responsible for supervising the manpower from an initial stage. Therefore, this study was intented to highlight the problems derived in the process of enforcing the paraprofessional system so far and to suggest possible causes of them by analysing interviews with teachers. Based on the findings, six ways to effectively manage the system were suggested.
