ABSTRACT

This study is an intervention study to investigate the effect of physical activity through sensory integration psychological exercise on exercise ability and self - efficacy of developmental disabilities students. The subjects were 2 autistic students with disabilities and 2 students with intellectual disabilities. The subjects were interviewed for 2 or 3 times a week for a total of 24 sessions. In addition, after the intervention, the effect of intervention was verified by checking the maintenance after 2 weeks' rest period The results of the study are as follows. First, the sensory integration psychological movement showed improvement of the exercise ability by positive scores of all the four subjects of the developmental disabled students. In particular, autistic students showed the highest athletic performance. The students with intellectual disability students had the lowest score of the athletic ability among the 4 students, but the rate of the improvement of the personal inward posture was the highest. Second, intervention of physical activity through sensory integration psychological exercise showed improvement of self - efficacy in all four students. Self - efficacy was assessed using a 5 - point scale. In the pre-test of the total 23 items, the mean score of the average students was 1.5-2.2, but after the intervention, the post-test showed a high score of 3.3-3.6. All four students showed positive self-efficacy The effect of the change was observed. In the maintenance stage test, it was confirmed that exercise ability and self - efficacy were maintained. The results of this study suggest that the sensory integration psychological exercise is effective in improving the exercise ability and positive self-efficacy of the developmental disability students.
