사연있는 인형을 활용한 반편견교육 프로그램이 유아의 장애수용태도에 미치는 효과

The purpose of this study was to identify differences by gender and experimental treatment in the effectiveness of an anti handicap-bias program using a persona doll. The subjects were 60 kindergarten children of middle socio-economic status in Kyunghi Province, S. Korea. Treatment effects showed that the handicap-acceptance attitude scores of the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and there were no significant differences in handicap-acceptance attitudes between boys and girls. Young children perceived the persona doll as a soul and a playmate and showed close attachment to it. They recognized the story of the persona doll as fact rather than fiction.
