ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to compare the perception on inclusive education of students with autistic disorder between general and special teachers who were in charge of students with autistic disorder. To do this, a questionnaire was distributed to 97 general teachers and 65 special teachers at elementary, middle, or high schools in the area of Gwangju. One hundred four questionnaires were returned(return rate: 64%) and 102 questionnaires(51 from general teachers, 51 from special teachers) were analyzed to answer four research questions(differences in the perception on inclusive education of students with autistic disorder between general and special teachers; differences in the perception of general teachers on inclusive education of students with autistic disorder according to sex, age, education career, school level, and class size; differences in the perception of special teachers on inclusive education of students with autistic disorder according to age, education career, school level, class size, and number of students with autistic disorder; differences in the perception of general and special teachers on inclusive education of students with autistic disorder according to age, education career, and school level). Data analyses using one-way analysis of variance or two-way analysis of variance revealed that generally both general teachers and special teachers were somewhat negative in inclusive education of students with autistic disorder but special teachers were less negative than general teachers. The results are discussed in order of the four research questions and some suggestions for future tasks and related research are presented.
