지적장애인의 사회성 및 자기효능감 향상을 위한 협동미술 프로그램 연구

Abstract

Today, we live together by cooperating and interacting with other people. However, adults with intellectual disabilities suffer from lots of difficulties in adapting and living. They lack the communication skills required in the interpersonal relationship and the skills required to learn the social behavior due to limitations in the intellectual functions and the adaptive behavior, which characterize them as they tend to avoid the situation or depend on the others excessively without trusting their own ability when they face with the problematic situation. In this respect, to form the social relationship in the adults with intellectual disabilities, the cooperative art program was developed and applied. The results of this study are as follows. First, in the results of analyzing the sociality and the self-efficacy tests, the cooperative art program made the statistically significant changes in all sublevel areas of the sociality and the self-efficacy in the persons with intellectual disabilities. Second, in the results of analyzing the response and the behavior of the persons with intellectual disabilities through the observation log and the class activity sheet, the cooperative art program based on the LT cooperative learning model formed the cooperative behavior and the ability of the persons with intellectual disabilities. Through these results, this program can be considered as effective to improve the sociality and the self-efficacy of the persons with intellectual disabilities. Accordingly, this study suggests that in order for them to perform diverse roles as the independent agent in the society, the constant education considering their diverse characteristics and environmental factors should be performed together in the aspect of lifelong education.
