Abstract

This study was conducted to understand the current status of special physical education in special classes in middle and high schools. To achieve the purpose of the study, a survey was conducted on 300 special education teachers working in middle and high schools using convenience sampling among non-probability sampling methods, and the survey responses from 148 people collected through this survey were analyzed. As a result of the study, it was found that 40.5% were practicing special physical education, while 59.5% were not practicing it. In implementing special physical education, the educational purpose was found to be students' acquisition of attitudes such as mutual cooperation, interpersonal skills, and rule compliance, and the most educational activities were found to be related to improving basic physical strength. The main places where special physical education was conducted were special class classrooms or gymnasiums, and the most frequent class times were once a week. The biggest reason for implementing special physical education was the expectation that students would be able to develop physically, cognitively, and emotionally through physical education activities. Based on these research results, specific implications were drawn and discussed
