본 연구는 ‘한국’특수교육(학)의 발전을 위한 방안을 모색하기 위하여, ‘한국’특수교육(학)에서 고유하게 사용되고 있는 “치료교육”이란 용어의 성립 근거와 배경 및 문제점 등을 재검토하고, 이와 관련된 역사적 사실을 사료로 기록하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해, “치료교육”과 “치료교육활동”의 논리적 근거와 배경을 학술적 차원, 법률적 차원, 교육적 차원 등 세 측면에서 검토하고 그 문제점을 분석하였을 뿐만 아니라, “치료교육(활동)”과 관련하여 발표된 최근의 논문에 대한 반론도 제기하였다. 특히, “치료교육”이란 ‘한국’특수교육(학)의 용어를 “치료교육학”(독일), “양호․훈련”(일본), “관련서비스”(미국) 등과 비교하여 논의하는데 주안점을 두었으며, 이러한 반론 제시와 논의를 통하여, “치료교육”의 문제를 해결하기 위한 몇 가지 대안을 제시하였다.
The present study is aimed at reviewing the rationales and the problems of `therapeutic education` that is peculiarly used in the Korean special education and documenting the historical facts and behind stories related to adopting `therapeutic education` and `therapeutic education activities` as a legal term in the Korea. The study analysed their problems in three dimensions of the logical, the legal, and the pedagogical aspects as well as initiated the counterpoint to the recently published articles and books on the `therapeutic education` in Korea. Especially, `therapeutic education` and `therapeutic education activities` naturally developed in the Korea through the Special Education Promotion Law of 1994 and the Special School Curriculum of 1998 were compared with the `heilpädagōgik` and `pädagōgischtherapie` (educational therapy) of the Federal Republic of Germany, `nurse and training` and recently `independent living` of the Japan, `related service` of the United States of America, and so on. Through these refutation and discussion, several alternatives were suggested to solve the problems of `therapeutic education(activities)` and to present a plan for developing `Korean special education(science).` These included conversing the nature of the `therapeutic education` to remedial education and renaming `therapeutic educational activities` to `therapeutic education and related support activities,` `therapy and related educational activities,` or `related support activities.` Also, the study recommended the need to distinguish among therapy, `therapeutic education,` and `therapeutic educational activities.`
