특수체육교사 자질조건의 중요성에 대한 전문인의 인식

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate professionals' perception regarding the importance of a specified set of professional competencies in adapted physical education(APE). Purposively selected sixteen professors who were teaching APE at universities, 56 APE teachers who were directly teaching APE to students with disabilities, and 48 major students who were in pre-service training programs in APE responded to the questionnaire containing 59 competency statements arranged in 20 categories for an adapted physical education specialist. It was concluded that the perception of the professors, the teachers, and the students were similar even though 31 of the 59 competency statements were found to be significantly different. This conclusion was supported by the their high ranking for the competencies included in the questionnaire. That is, there was agreement between the three groups as to the importance of the competencies for adapted physical educators included in this study.
