ABSTRACT

This study examined the differences of the relationship between aggression and perceived popularity on the inclusive class and the general class, thus drew the conclusion that the inclusive class can positively influence all, not only students with disabilities but also students without disabilities. A total of 3,034 students between 4th and 6th grade of elementary school in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Sejong(116 traditional classes, 28 inclusive classes) participated in the study. A two-level multi analysis was used to analyze the aggression and perceived popularity collected by peer nomination. The results found that the perceived popularity of aggression increases as the grade increases in the traditional class, whereas the perceived popularity of aggression decreases in the inclusive class. Thus, the social context of the inclusive class shows more positive effects for preventing the aggression of the class to all students including students with disabilities. Based on the findings of the study, the necessity and significance of inclusion for all students were discussed.
