Abstract

In this study, a survey was carried out on 150 parents who have regular children attending integrated childcare centers in J area, through March 2 to March 10, 2012, with the purpose of figuring out the Effects of Attitudes toward Disabled Children on Integrated Childcare Attitudes in Regular Parents. The results are summarized as follows. First, the effect of attitudes toward disabled children on regular integrated childcare attitudes showed that cognitive and emotional factors had a statistically significant positive effect on regular attitudes. Second, the effect of attitudes toward disabled children on children's activities and teachers' concerns for integrated childcare showed that cognitive and behavioral factors had a statistically significant positive effect on children's activities and teachers' concerns. Third, the effect of attitudes toward disabled children on behavioral problems of integrated childcare showed that cognitive, emotional and behavioral factors had a statistically significant positive effect on behavioral problems. As for findings stated as above, there was a difference in integrated childcare attitude depending on regular parents' attitude toward disabled children. This implies that there is a difference in cognitive and emotional attitudes toward disabled children in regular parents, acting as positive factors that raise the integrated childcare attitude for the improvement of perception on these factors. Consequently, for the integrated childcare, both disabled children and regular children should admit each other's diversity and accept different each other's existence, and the perception change of parents, who try to respect and learn together, should be preceded.

본 연구는 일반학부모의 장애아에 대한 태도가 통합보육태도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 목적을 갖고, 2012년 3월 2일부터 10일까지 J지역 소재 통합보육시설에 다니고 있는 일반 자녀를 둔 학부모 150명을 대상으로 설문조사하였는데 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 장애아에 대한 태도가 통합보육 일반 태도에 미치는 영향을 검증한 결과 인지적, 감정적 요소가 일반 태도에 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 장애아에 대한 태도가 통합보육 유아활동 및 교사관심에 미치는 영향을 검증한 결과 인지적, 행동적 요소가 유아활동 및 교사관심에 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 장애아에 대한 태도가 통합보육 행동문제에 미치는 영향을 검증한 결과 인지적, 감정적, 행동적 요소가 행동문제에 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합해 보면 일반학부모의 장애아에 대한 태도에 따라 통합보육태도에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 이는 일반학부모의 장애아에 대한 인지적, 감정적 요소에서 차이를 보여 이들 요인의 인식 개선시 통합보육태도를 높이는 긍정적인 요소로 작용할 수 있음을 시사한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이 같은 결과는 통합보육이 장애유아와 일반유아 모두가 서로의 다양성을 인정하며, 이질적인 상대의 존재를 받아들이고, 존중하며 함께 배우려는 학부모의 인식전환이 선행되어져야 할 것을 시사한 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
