ABSTRACT

In the field of education for people of profound intellectual and multiple disabilities(PIMD) of the UK and Germany has emerged MSSTTM and MSGETM in recent international issues. It focuses on early literacy ability, as well as cultural participation and self-realization of people with PIMD through the literary activities such as storytelling. This study aimed at examining the early literacy-related reactive behaviors of students with PIMD, when they are exposed to 'Mehrsinn Geschichten' of the traditional fairy tale 「Kongji and Patzzi」. The subjects of the study included three students with PIMD. The 'Mehrsinn Geschichten' of「Kongji and Patzzi」developed by this researcher was equally delivered to each of the students during five sessions. The students' early literacy-related reactive behaviors were videotaped, recorded and then analyzed. The students' early literacy-related reactive behaviors were analyzed based on the Affective Communication Assessment (ACA) on each of the students. The results were classified as: reactive behaviors according to sentence in each session; positive and negative reactive behaviors over entire sentences; and categories of positive and negative reactive behaviors over entire sentences. First, as for the students' reactive behaviors according to sentence in each session, the students felt unfamiliar with the story at the beginning, but felt familiar later. Second, the reactive behavior of the entire story sentences were more or less by the rate of change and difference in student behavior. Positive action has increased as the session continued, the latter half showed a decline. On the other hand, negative effects act decreased as the session continued, the latter halfshowed a slight increase. Third, categories of positive and negative reactive behaviors over entire sentences included facial expressions, gestures, movements, and vocalizations. This study found that students with PIMD can acquire early literacy ability.
