In this research, I tried to search on the social rmaturation of the mentally retarded child in Korea. The aim of this research lies in finding out the social ability of the mentally retarded child by comparing with the normal child.
It used questionair which has 6 divisions having 125 items and answered by the parents or the protectors. This questionair is constructed as follows:
A. self-helf ability…………………25 items
B. Occupation ability ………………40 items
C. Locomotion ability ………………15 items
D. Communication ability …………15 items
E. Socialization ability……………15 items
F. Self-direction ability …………15 items
The sampling is taken at Seoul, Taegu, Pusan and the other provinces excluding Kang won(江原), Jae Joo(濟州), Chung Puk(忠濟北) Provicnce. The control group is constructed by the normal children who have from IQ. 90 to IQ. 120 and who lie the middle class of family background and learning ability. The experimental group is constructed by the mentally retarded children who are attending the school for the mentally retarded, having from IQ. 40 to IQ. 75.
The result of this research is as follows;
A. The gap of ability between the mentally retarded and the normal by division is as follow table:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Division Gap of score Gap of percentage order Note; Full Marks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Score 69.58 27.8 250
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Self-helf ability 10.73 21.5 5 50
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Occupation ability 16.74 20.9 6 80

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Socialization ability 12.36 41.2 2 30
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Self-direction ability 10.02 33.4 4 30

※ The mentally retarded is low ability.
B. The classification of items according to the gap of percentage between the two groups is as follow table:
