ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to provide preventive measures for negligent accidents in special schools and to emphasize the necessity of multidisciplinary approach for the measures. For the purpose, this study investigated the actual conditions of school negligent accidents for teachers and students in special schools, not by actual statistics but by teacher’s direct or indirect experiences. 106 teachers in special schools located in Daegu city were participated in this study and a survey method was used to collect data. The results were as follows. First, negligent accidents due to aggressive behaviors during a break happened frequently to middle school male students in special schools. Second, teachers were violated in their rights by negligent accidents and suffered from bodily injuries by students’ aggressive behaviors. Third, many teachers implemented preventive disciplines for negligent accidents with a lecture during the scheduled time in the regular school curriculum. Fourth, special school teachers felt psychological burdens from negligent accidents in schools, and were intimidated in the educational activities due to the burdens. This study suggested the amendments of laws suitable for the special education fields, the necessity of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, the evaluation of the actual conditions of negligent accidents according to special school types, and the necessity of an evaluation of negligent accidents for special class students. The limitations in this study were discussed, too.
