Students express their thoughts and emotions freely using various mediums and materials through art education in school. Through this process, their creativity gets enhanced and feel confidence and satisfaction by achieving something. However, due to unprepared condition for disabled students to actively participate in art classes in special-education school, most of the disabled students are often left alone unattended in art classes. Also, there are instances where it is replaced by a different subject. Effective art education is yet to be accomplished due to these various problems. Therefore, this study intends to prepare basic data for better art education to be conducted in special-education schools by investigating how effectively the art subject is being operated and how effectively it is being applied in classes in special-education school. The research problem of this study is ‘how effectively the art subject is being operated in special-education school?’(focusing on operation and professionalism of art teachers) The research object is special-education teachers from 32 special schools in Gyeonggi-do, and used questionnaire as a research tool. The data was processed through statistics processing using SPSSWIN 21.0 Program. Art education has a very important meaning to disabled students. This signifies that art education promotes physical ‧ emotional ‧ cognitive development through various art activities, and improves self-expression, creativity, happiness, and confidence. Specially, students with language developmental impairment can express their emotions through various art education other than language and can resolve emotional conflicts and difficulties that can occur due to disability to some degree through art. Also, art education has an advantage that disabled students can gain confidence by expressing in nonverbal ways, and makes positive effect on special students as gaining positive feeling about themselves by experiencing various materials and activities. According to the research result of ‘how effectively the art subject is being operated in special-education school?’(focusing on operation and professionalism of art teachers), it was identified that art subject is often operated by general teachers not art major teachers. Hours that art major teachers undertake different subject was 12 hours a week, and many teachers replied that there is not enough time to study teaching materials due to responsibility for other subjects in an investigation of art major teachers. In other words, this study drew a conclusion that special schools are progressing classes distant from professionalism of art subject in operation and professionalism of art teachers aspect. Therefore, this study identified that special-education schools need to assign art subject to teachers who majored in art education, art teachers need to develop their ability as an art teacher through training to improve professionalism in art, and education office needs to appoint teachers in special-education school by indication subject(especially arts and physical education subject) like regular schools.
