몬테소리 감각교육 프로그램이 정신지체 아동의 시지각능력에 미치는 효과

Abstract

This study was to observed the effect of Montessori sensation education program on mental retardation children's visual perception. To achieve this aim, I selected 4 children who are identified as a mental retardation children studying in special school. After two weeks pre-education to adapt themselves to Montessori sensation education and then examined them on pre-test, post-test and follow-test for four months to inspect the effect of visual perception. I used experimental instrument such as Montessori sensation education program. and then, used Korean Developmental Test of Visual Perception(K-DTVP-2) what is to know the effect of visual perception using eight subordinate level of on mental retardation children's visual perception as eye-hand coordination, position in space, copying, figure-ground, visual closure, visual-motor speed and form constancy. I could get following results: First, Montessori sensation education program was very effective on all visual perception section as visual closure(VC), visual-motor speed(VMS), form constancy(FC), spatial relation(SR), figure-ground(FG), copying(CO), position in space(PS) and eye-hand coordination(EHC). especially, Visual closure(VC), visual-motor speed(VMS) and form constancy(FC) section was very effective, also spatial relation(SR), figure-ground(FG), copying(CO), position in space(PS) and eye-hand coordination(EHC) section was very effective but there is different result as child. Second, Montessori sensation education program was very effective to improve mental retardation child’s motor-reduced visual perception ability. Third, Montessori sensation education program was very effective to improve mental retardation child’s visual-motor integration ability.
