Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe and understand the experiences and impact of the Paralympic School Day program on disability-related perceptions of rural high school students. Methods: Ninth- and tenth-grade physical education classes from a rural high school participated in the Paralympic School Day event. Of the 68 who attended the event, 42 students furnished assent and consent to participate. Data from reflective writing responses were analyzed inductively using a three-step approach. Findings: The analysis revealed three interrelated themes: (a) “I didn’t expect it to be fun”: preconceptions and reality of trying parasport, (b) “Anyone can play a sport”: developing new perceptions of disability, and (c) “I never realized how blessed I was”: persistence of ableist framing. Discussion: As a result of participants interacting with and learning from athletes with physical disabilities, they developed an understanding of parasport and a new paradigm through which to view individuals with disabilities.

“我以为会变成垃圾”:残障学校日后农村高中生对残疾的认知变化

目的:本研究的目的是描述和了解残障学校日项目对农村高中生残障相关认知的体验和影响。方法:某农村高中九、十年级体育班参加残奥学校日活动。在参加活动的68名学生中，有42名学生表示同意参加活动。从反思性写作回应的数据进行归纳分析，采用三步法。结果:分析揭示了三个相互关联的主题:(a)“我没想到它会很有趣”:尝试体育运动的先入为主的观念和现实;(b)“任何人都可以参加体育运动”:发展对残疾的新看法;(c)“我从来没有意识到我是多么幸运”:持续存在的残疾主义框架。讨论:由于参与者与身体残疾的运动员互动并向他们学习，他们形成了对体育运动的理解和一种新的范式，通过这种范式来看待残疾人。
