발달장애인훈련센터 담당 특수교사의 업무 경험과 의미

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of interagency collaboration of special teachers in training centers for people with developmental disabilities. For this reason, individual interviews were conducted with six secondary special teachers who had the interagency collaboration with practitioners of training centers for people with developmental disabilities. This was analyzed in accordance to numerous comprehensive analysis procedures. As a result of analyzing the individual interview data, three main themes, six subcategories, and 17 semantic units were derived. First, the role of both practitioners and special teachers of training centers for people with developmental disabilities is important in the interagency collaboration of special teachers of training centers for people with developmental disabilities; furthermore, it is noted that both administrative and financial consideration for them is necessary. Second, it is necessary to operate a program that prioritizes service recipients over the performance of service providers. Third, the training center for people with developmental disabilities was a meaningful place for the vocational rehabilitation of students with developmental disabilities; for this purpose, cooperation with interagency collaboration should be improved. Based on these results, the meaning of cooperation between the training center for people with developmental disabilities and the Office of Education on the career vocational education of students with developmental disabilities, the importance of interagency collaboration, and the direction of improvement were all discussed.
