시각장애성인을 위한 무용 평생교육 프로그램 개발 및 적용 가능성 탐색

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to develop lifelong culture and art education programs for visually impaired adults in cooperation with professional instructors and special education experts, and explore its applicability. Method: Many references showed that there is a high demand for the programs by visually impaired adults. However, a "dance" program which has been rarely adopted was developed so that lifelong learning institutions for visually impaired people can improve their programs through test run and intent monitoring. Results: 12 sessions of the dance program were created to enhance self-expression by visually impaired women. The sessions were a test run in lifelong education programs for people with disabilities. Early and in-process monitoring and revision through interviews with learners and staff raised the completeness of the program. As a result of the program monitoring, the overall average of scores in each area was very high at 4.71 points, and as a result of evaluating the satisfaction of the program with learners, the average satisfaction was very high at 4.92. Conclusion: This study proposed better ways to operate this program through a series of steps and suggested limitations and tasks to be done in the follow-up study.
