This study aims to identify special education teachers' recognition on after-school and its management and to present basic data for its improvement. For the purpose, this study compares special school teachers according to school types and regions, targeting special school teachers who are in charge of after-school in special schools in Gwangju and Jeonnam.

For this study, we interviewed 139 teachers who had experiences of after-school instruction in special schools in Gwangju and Jeonnam using a questionnaire. 123 copies of the answer sheets (88%) were collected, 119 copies (86%) of which we used for actual analysis.

The questionnaire used for this study was reorganized for the purpose of this study based on previous studies, for which a total of 45 questions were decided through preliminary research and discussion with our advisor.

For the analysis of the study, we carried a frequency analysis using SPSSWIN 12.0 to identify recognition on after-school, management and distribution of answers on suggestions. And to identify whether there are significant differences according to category-type variables, we carried test(Fisher`s exact test), and t-test for 5-point questions.

The results of the analysis are summarized as follows: First, its was found that teachers' interest in and recognition on after-school was relatively high, and hoped that after-school would be expanded. The purposes of after-school they considered as most important were development of talent and specialities of the students with disabilities. They answered that the reason they took part in after-school program was to execute extra-programs. Their satisfaction in after-school was high, but they felt much energy consumption was the biggest burden. They recognized that blending of external instructors with special education teachers is desirable for after-school teachers, centering on special education teachers. Second, in respect to the management of after-school, this study found that school heads and parents had the largest interest in it and they were also interested in how much teaching materials and tools, preparation against safety accidents, facilities and equipment are prepared. After-school programs were provided four times a week for less than 1 hours a day. The number of the program introduced were less than ten and the number of students who attended the program was 5 in a class, the largest. The programs were inclined to information&communication, art and crafts. Third, as suggestions for future program, they answered that the program should be developed and expanded according to levels, and pointed out that negative instruction by internal teachers due to excessive tasks is a problem. To improve the expertise of after-school instructors, they mentioned the necessity of training relating to after-school and emphasized steady efforts and self-development of instructors.

Suggestions on based on the results are presented as follows: Because of limit to subjects of the study, the results of the study are not enough to be generalized to other areas, and as we depended on a questionnaire as a research tool, it may not reflect real situation of schools sufficiently, we should collect more specific and valid information.
