통합체육에 관한 지적 장애학생 부모의 관점과 경험

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the beliefs and experiences of South Korean parents of former students with intellectual disabilities regarding Integrated Physical Education (PE). The research design was a multiple case study whereby four mothers of former students with intellectual disabilities were interviewed via Zoom technology. The data were transcribed in the Korean language, then translated to both Korean and English languages, and analyzed by two researchers using the thematic data analysis method. Two major themes were identified: (a) perspectives about integrated PE and (b) barriers to inclusivity. We found South Korean parents of former students with intellectual disabilities were not satisfied with the South Korean's educational system, including integrated PE. Nonetheless, the parents were supportive of their former students' engaging in physical activity and/or sports programs.
