Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze general trends and topics of research related to class implementation and to suggest future research directions based on it.
 Method: To achieve this, 36 papers were selected and analyzed: from the general trends such as published year, research types and subjects, research class subjects, the relevance of classes to the Interventions and Strategies Method, to the specific factors of themes in elementary special class lessons.
 Results: As a result, it showed that the research on elementary special class lessons had been consistently published every year from 2010 to 2022. Quantitative research showed no significant differences in its numbers across the years, but qualitative research gradually has been increased from 2013 to the recent. Quantitative research primarily applied a Multiple Intermittent Baseline Design, while qualitative research predominantly utilized Action Research Methodology. The most common research subjects were the students with intellectual disabilities. Korean language and mathematics were the most frequently addressed as class subjects, and the Interventions and Strategies Method applied to the lessons were found to be integrated with the curriculum through its reconstruction. The themes of class implementation varied according to the characteristics of each subject, and many studies focused on applying the Interventions and Strategies Method to a small number of students. Studies analyzed the changed behavior of students through the lessons, in terms of academic learning abilities and classroom behaviors. Regarding the academic learning abilities, they examined the changes in the acquisition and improvement of subject-specific knowledge and skills, taking into account the characteristics of each subject. As for the classroom behaviors, many studied the changes in students' classroom participation behaviors.
 Discussion and Conclusion: The direction of future research on the implementation of special class classes in elementary schools was presented.
