[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the keywords of domestic research on music therapy for intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and to clarify the structure by analyzing the semantic network between keywords. [Method] A total of 866 keywords of 238 types were extracted from 197 papers published on the subject of music therapy for ID and ASD in journals between 2000 and 2022. To examine past research trends, the frequency of the appearance of keywords presented in the literature was calculated. By utilizing a UCINET6 program, NetDraw was visualized after analyzing the structural properties, centrality, and ego networks. [Results] In the ID literature, keywords such as "music therapy,'' "child/adolescent with ASD,'' "child/adolescent with ID,'' "social skills,'' "group music therapy,'' "communication skills,'' and "problematic behavior'' were frequently used. In the ASD literature, keywords such as "music therapy,'' "child/adolescent with ASD,'' "child/adolescent with ID,'' "social skills,'' "group music therapy,'' "communication skills,'' and "problematic behavior'' were frequently used. The network had 68 nodes connected by 926 links, and the density was 0.2. In addition, keywords such as "music therapy,'' "child/youth with ASD,'' "child/youth with ID,'' "social skills,'' and "singing activity'' displayed high centrality. In the ego network of "child/adolescent with ID,'' "singing activity,'' "social skills,'' "music intervention,'' "attention concentration,'' and "vocabulary ability'' had high connection strength. In the "child/adolescent with ASD'' ego network, "social skills,'' "stereotyped behaviors,'' "language disorders,'' "communication skills,'' and "problematic behaviors'' had high connection strength. "Music therapy'' showed a strong connection with "child/adolescent with ASD,'' "social skills,'' "music education,'' and "music intervention.'' [Conclusion] This study identified the structure of keywords that were important in music therapy research for ID and ASD in the past, and grasped the trends of past research. Proposals for follow-up studies of comprehensive music therapy studies are also discussed.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to identify the general characteristics of single-subject studies in Korea related to sensory integration interventions for intellectual and autism spectrum disorders. It also aims to grasp the quality level of domestic studies using the quality indicators for evidence-based practice suggested by the Council for Exceptional Children(CEC). [Method] In this study, 11 single-subject studies of sensory integration interventions published in domestic journals from 2000 to 2021 were analyzed. The general characteristics of the study were identified by dividing it into publication year, participants, study design, independent, and dependent variables, and the quality of the study was analyzed based on 22 indicators in eight areas presented by the CEC. [Results] In domestic single-subject studies of sensory integration intervention for intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders, there were more studies addressing intellectual disabilities than autism spectrum disorders, and it was found that various study designs, such as AB, ABA, and multiple-baseline designs, were used. The sensory integration intervention strategy used traditional sensory integration as the main strategy, and most studies used problem behavior and stereotyped behavior as dependent variables. As a result of the analysis according to the CEC quality indicators, there was no study that satisfied all indicators, and it was confirmed that the overall satisfaction rate was low. [Conclusion] Domestic single-subject studies related to sensory integration interventions for intellectual and autism spectrum disorders should be conducted more actively, and efforts to improve the quality of the research are needed. Based on this, sensory integration interventions should be applied to the fields of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder intervention.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare differences between the two environments experienced by hearing-impaired students, and to explore the factors that hearing-impaired students thought were necessary for a pleasant school life and their opinions about inclusive education. [Method] To this end, the study conducted individual in-depth interviews with seven hearing-impaired middle and high school students in China, who transferred from the inclusive learning environment of general schools to the special learning environment of special schools. [Results] First, based on their experiences of school life at general schools, it is very difficult for hearing-impaired students to continue their learning activities at general schools. Second, They were able to have an emotionally stable school life through positive reciprocal relationships with friends and teachers. They described their friends at special schools as kind classmates who helped them in any situations, and teachers as kind teachers who cared for them with patience. Third, Hearing-impaired students always wanted to interact with teachers, which suggested that their learning and feeling a pleasure in such an environment were likely to generate positive effects even in academic aspects. In addition, hearing-impaired students could gain confidence through good friendships, and therefore, if interactions between hearing-impaired and normally hearing students are facilitated and they can build friendships in a relaxed atmosphere of mutual understanding, it can become good conditions for a pleasant school life. [Conclusion] In terms of inclusive education, In consideration of academic aspects, they stated that they could learn more knowledge and build friendships with various friends at general schools. However, they found it difficult to understand their lessons due to practical issues and had limitations in class participation, and thus preferred special schools.

Analysis of Trends in Research on the Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities: By Applying Network text Analysis before and after Ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

Kang, Kyung Sook , Lee, Seungmin | 2022, 23(4) | pp.235~253 | number of Cited : 0

PDF

This study analyzes research trends related to the rights of persons with disabilities published in Korea since 2000 and conducts network text analysis on the main subjects of research since the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities(CRPD) in 2009. Through this, the status quo and structure of disability rights research were interpreted, and the subdivided trends of research that can be seen through the cluster analysis were identified to suggest the direction of subsequent research. As a result of the study, ‘human rights education' showed a high influence not only on the network map and the overall network map after the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, but also on the cluster analysis results. However, education is mentioned only to a specific age or educational institution, and research on vocational education that is directly related to the lives of persons with disabilities needs to be treated as human rights education. In terms of welfare, the main influence of definitional expressions such as disability or human rights sensitivity, prejudice, and human rights awareness was higher than the law. In addition, discussions about "residential facilities”, which are nodes directly related to the lives of people with disabilities, emerged in earnest in the network after the ratification of the Convention. It seems that the paradigm of the actual state and perception of residential facilities is shifting to the discussion of deinstitutionalization policy. Suggestions for further research include a closer look at how much disability rights have improved since the ratification of the UN CRPD. To this end, it is also meaningful to analyze the feelings of persons with disabilities about human rights violations. On the other hand, various educational programs are required to be improved to cultivate human rights sensitivity. Finally, empirical research on employment and labor rights directly related to the lives of persons with disabilities is needed.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to analyze visual acuity and health behaviors of elementary, middle and high school students with unaided or corrected vision of 0.3 or less variables. [Method] Using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0, the national health examination sample survey data of 1,733 students with unaided vision and 161 students with corrected vision of 0.3 or less were analyzed. [Results] In students with unaided vision of 0.3 or less, there was a significant difference in left-eye vision by gender but there were no significant differences in right eye vision and the difference value of visual acuity between both eyes. Also, there were significant differences in both eye vision and the difference value of visual acuity between both eyes by school level but there was no significant difference by city size. In students with unaided vision of 0.3 or less, there were no significant differences in left and right eye vision and the difference value of visual acuity between both eyes by gender. However, there were significant differences in both eye vision by school level, and there were significant differences in both eye vision and the difference value of visual acuity between both eyes by city size. Based on the health indicators of the Ministry of Education, it was confirmed that the students needed to improve their health behavior according to overall vision-related health variables such as nutrition and eating habits, physical activities, the Internet and games. [Conclusion] Students with vision below 0.3 require a vision health promotion program that considers general characteristic variables (gender, school level, city size) and vision-related health variables to maintain vision and prevent further vision loss. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the students' vision status is unaided vision or corrective vision, and to pay attention to the difference in vision between the two eyes in consideration of the importance of anisometropia.
