전환교육관점에서 본 특수교육의 직업교육 실태 및 방향

Reality and Direction of Vocational Education in Special Education from a Transition Education Perspective

전환교육의 결과는 학생들의 졸업이후의 취업으로 나타난다. 전환교육에 대한 특수교육현장에서의 적절한 이해부족과 체제개발 미흡으로 전환교육의 결과라고 할 수 있는 장애학생들의 취업이 저조한 상태다. 이에 전환교육관점에서 특수교육의 직업교육과정과 특수교육의 직업교육교사양성 및 배치를 고찰하였다. 특수교육의 직업교육과정에서는 전환교육의 개념, 직업교육과정 편성과 운영실태, 개별화 교육계획(IEP)과 개별화전환교육계획(ITP) 편성 및 운영실태, 직업교육과정 운영방향을 제시하고 있다. 특수교육의 직업교육교사 양성과 배치에서는 전환교육 교사수행능력, 직업교육교사 양성과 배치 실태, 직업교육교사 양성과 배치 방향을 제시하고 있다. 특수교육에서의 직업교육은 결과중심의 전환 교육적인 관점에서 볼 때 종합적인 교육영역이다. 학생들의 졸업 후 결과가 성공적이기 위해서는 특수 교육의 직업교육과정 운영과 직업교사의 양성ㆍ배치가 적극적으로 고려되어야 한다.
