ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual condition of transition education and the perception of special education teachers in the special school secondary developmental disabilities. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 150 special school teachers who are in the middle school second grade and third of high school in the five special schools in Busan. The collected data used technical statistics and Chi-square to identify the differences between each factor and variable using SPSS Statistics(Version 23). The main results of this study are as follows. First, in terms of the transition education management status of the students with secondary developmental disabilities in special schools, most of teachers did not establish individualized transition plans. Most of the goals of the transition education were independent living and daily living functions. In addition, there were many responses that they did not link with related organizations. Second, the perception of special education teachers about the transition education of secondary students with developmental disabilities, the independent living functions were most frequently responded to the transition education areas needed for students with secondary developmental disabilities. On the other hand, the majority of the respondents said that the lack of information from teachers or parents was the reason why parents counseling or connection with families was not successful. It was said that the schools and the related organizations need to cooperate for the transition education. There were many opinions that it would be better to start with elementary school if the school implements systematic transition education. However, most of the teachers realized that the implementation of transition education was still largely challenging and difficult in Korean society, and the main reason was lacked proper curriculum or materials and support system.
