Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of Disabilities Understanding Program on normal children's own self-concept and acceptance attitude toward disabled children by constructing and applying a meditation program. The subjects of this research consisted of a experimental group and a control group in each class by each grade. There was a total of 154 students in two classes of third grade and two classes of fifth grade students who went to an elementary school located in Busan city. Pre-inspection was done to both the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was entered into the Disability Understanding Program twice per week for 6 weeks, and then after-inspection had done both groups. As assessment tools, the deceptivity and self-concept tests were used. Their results were analyzed by the SPSS/PC+ statistics program according to grade and group inspection, which was analyzed by two factors analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a meaningful difference statistically, between elementary school grades in the acceptance attitude of disabled children when entered to the Disability Understanding Program. Second, it has a meaningful difference statistically at the self-concept test between elementary school grades when entered into the Disability Understanding Program. The analysis result according to each of self-concept sub-factor, was that the physical factor changed more specifically, at the third grade than the fifth grade. Thus, this Disability Understanding Program gave normal children an excellent opportunity to reconstruct by themselves.
