Purpose: The purpose of this study was to classify the students’ perception towards post-high school specialized program and to identify characteristics by type. Method: This study used a Q methodology in which individual subjects’ classification of statements were interpreted and the overall perception of the individual subjects could be derived through more objective methods. To investigate the perception types of the students towards post-high school specialized program, 23 Q samples were selected from a total of 248 Q populations through in-depth interviews. The study performed Q classification for 23 students in a special school for intellectual disabilities, and interviewed about the reason why they had chosen the bipolar statements. As the data processing and analysis method, the recognition type was derived using the PQ methods program. Results: Three types of perception about the post-high school specialized program were analyzed. The first type was a ‘job training institution for employment’, in which the purpose of post-high school specialized program was recognized for employment and the students endeavor to get job skills positively. The second type was an ‘educational institution for extension of school-age’, in which their interests were not other people or circumstances but here and now, themselves. The third type was an ‘educational institution for personal relationship and so on’, in which personal relationship was the one of most important values, they seem quite passive in learning job skills. Conclusion: The findings of the study were expected to reflect students’ opinion to re-identify the post-high school specialized program by classification types of perception about the post-high school specialized program and their characteristics.
