장애인 직업적응훈련시설의 운영에 관한 질적연구: 퇴직한 직업훈련교사의 경험을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the situation and difficulties experienced by vocational training teachers in facilities before their retirement and to explore development plans. There was a purpose for research. The study participants were people who had experience working as vocational adaptation training teachers and 6 vocational training teachers who had currently retired were selected. The results were as follows. First at the perspective of the trainers, it was a workplace they chose with the goal of their own growth as professionals. Second, the trainees that the research participants met at the vocational adaptation training facility for the disabled were trainees who needed care rather than vocational training. Third, research participants complained of the burden of the user placement standard of 12 trainees per vocational training teacher and the difficulties of the reality of a shortage of vocational rehabilitation specialists. Fourth, operating standards that did not reflect on-site conditions, arduous work, and the resulting loss of direction as professionals appeared to be the process by which research participants retired. In conclusion, the current vocational adaptation training facility for the disabled serves as an institution that prepares employment through education and training for disabled people who had difficulty finding employment, but the actual users were so severely disabled that their focus was on care rather than employment. It appeared that only when the operating standards, operating system, and employee work requirements were improved will employees be able to maintain their jobs for a long period of time and operation suitable for the original purpose of operation will be possible.
