This research was to recognize general education teachers’ perception for
successful inclusion of students with severe and multiple disabilities, in terms of
1)writing plans for IEP and implementation process 2)developmental need and
support direction, and to suggest direction of development in the future. For this,
10 general education teachers who have experienced of teaching students with
severe and multiple disabilities were analyzed through group interviews.
First of all, as a result, teachers’ recognition like bystanders on IEP section is
not about teaching and learning activities by IEP, but about their shortage of time
to perform IEP due to an increase of administrative work. Second, teachers’
recognition as collaborative performers was low in terms of their understanding
and complex, and they pointed out that collaborative support between IEP subjects
of the support teams is lacking. Third, as developmental need and support method,
teachers hoped assistive technology suited for the different subjects and teaching
training opportunity about ACC. Also, they recognized that guidebooks of each
subject for students with severe and multiple disabilities are needs.
Based on these analyzed results, general education teachers’ perception and
support needed on IEP plan, and appropriate implementation process have been
properly proposed.
