ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the agreement, practice, and implementation capacity level of teachers at a special school for the physical disabilities for the best practice of transition education in order to specifically figure out the implementation level of transition education at such schools. The subjects include 175 middle and high school teachers and post- secondary teachers at 18 special schools for the physical disabilities across the nation in 2012. They were asked to participate in a survey on a 5-point Likert scale. The research findings and discussions led to the following conclusions:First, teachers at special schools for the physical disabilities had a higher agreement level for transition education than practice level. Second, teachers at special schools for the physical disabilities had an average level of implementation capacity for transition education and exhibited mutually positive correlations among the implementation capacity factors of transition education. Finally, as for relations between the teachers’ practice recognition level and implementation capacity for transition education at special schools for the physical disabilities, implementation capacity had more positive relations with the practice level than the agreement level.
