ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to explore the direction of support on the curriculum-level for curricular inclusion of students with disabilities. To this purpose, I analyzed the guidelines presented on the national curriculum in Korea and Japan. As a result of this analysis, in the curriculum of Korea, guidelines for curricular inclusion of the students with disabilities is briefly presented in the general part only, so there is a limit to practical assistance for the curricular inclusion of the students with disabilities in each subject class. On the other hand, in the curriculum of Japan, guidelines on the curricular inclusion of the students with disabilities were presented in detail in the general part, as well as in the subjects and extra subject, and they provided practical support in each class. However, these guidelines focus on the learning difficulties that students with disabilities will face in situation of each class, and thus they have limitations in presenting practical directions related to the curricular inclusion according to the characteristics of each disability area. Based on these results, I discussed the necessity of guideline considering the characteristics of each subject and disability area in the curriculum for the curricular inclusion of the students with disabilities integrated into the general class.
