Research Abstract |
In June of 1997, the new law on teacher's licenses was passed, and according to it, the people to try to get elementary or junior high school teacher's licenses are required to experience the care for the handicapped in special schools or welfare facilities for 7 days. The purpose of this study was to examine and discuss about what kind of guidance universities should implement for students to make their experiences more significant. In this study, we conducted four investigations : (a) to clarify what sort of opportunities to learn about handicaps university students have ever had, (b) to ask students who finished their experiences about their requests for the guidance, (c) to investigate what kind of instruction in university was required by the special schools and welfare facilities which accept students, (d) to make the latest situation of the orientation in universities clear. From the results of (a), we found that most of university students had poor opportunities to learn about the handicap, and this confirmed the importance of guidance in university. Furthermore, the outcomes of (b) and (c) indicated some important points in implementing guidance : to make students have definite purposes for their experiences of the care and to give them appropriate information in order that they may have concrete images about their own activities before their experiences. The findings of (d), on the other hand, showed the fact that in most of universities, the orientations were not done properly.
