Abstract

This study investigated the perceptions of parents, teachers, and related education experts regarding the status and needs of educational support for learners with borderline intellectual functioning in Gyeonggi-do. A total of 545 people participated in the online survey, including 148 parents, 243 teachers, and 154 related educational experts. The research participants said that they are currently experiencing difficulties in adapting to school life due to the fact that there is a blind spot in the education law and related system for learners with borderline intellectual functioning, and that there is no individualized educational support system according to the life cycle. The research participants requested the development of a school life support plan that reflects curriculum and career progression guidance, and social skills guidance that takes into account the characteristics of learners with borderline intellectual functioning. Based on the research results, a screening and diagnosis system was established based on the characteristics and support needs of learners with borderline intellectual functioning, a cooperation plan to strengthen school education accountability, and support for lifelong education in adulthood were proposed.
