Abstract

This study aims to investigate the practical knowledge of middle school special class teachers obtained in the leisure activity classes applying the home project class model. For this purpose, a action research method in which 6 students from special classes and their parents participate was applied. One session was to implement the contents of leisure activity learned at school at home. A total of 5 sessions of classes and class council were conducted. The results of analyzing the collected data are as follows. There are five top categories, which are ‘movie-watching activities that are still difficult for students’, ‘schools and families working together’, ‘leisure activities prepared at school’, and ‘students who grow according to their own choices’ , ‘family changing together’. And 11 subcategories, and 26 semantic units were derived. First, it was possible to confirm the effect of applying the home project learning model in conducting the home-connected leisure class. Second, the guidance for home-connection needs to be specific and it needs to target all family members, and third, the school Pre-education should be designed to be applicable in the field of leisure activities. Fourth, it was confirmed that self-determination skills, social skills, social skills, and participation behaviors of students with disabilities were positively changed through home-connected leisure classes. Fifth, it was found that students’ leisure activities should be continued even in disaster situations such as COVID-19 infectious disease. The significance of this study can be found in that it suggests a systematic home connection plan for students’ leisure activities using the home project learning model.
