國小特教班教師教育極重度多重障礙學生之困擾與需求

Teaching Challenges and Needs of Special Education Teachers of Students with Multiple and Severe Disabilities at Self-Contained Classrooms in Elementary Schools

因應零拒絕以及就近入學原則，一些需管灌、氣切照護或醫療設備之極重度多重障礙學生開始就讀住家附近的小學。本研究探討國小特教班教師教育這些學生的困擾及需求，邀請五位國小特教班教師進行三次焦點團體訪談，以質性資料歸納分析，同儕檢證編碼一致性達83%–100%，並以參與者檢核與省思札記確保研究信賴度。研究發現教師面對這些學生有五項困擾：(1)學生密集的醫療照護需求，教師須時刻注意學生身體狀況而無法喘息；(2)學生先天功能受限且反應微弱，教師難以切入課程，產生教學無力感；(3)行政單位支援有限且環境規劃不全，學生學習活動受限；(4)專業團隊服務頻率低且建議不合用，教師無法即時獲得諮詢協助；(5)親師對於照護及教養理念有落差，溝通與合作關係受阻。此外，教師有以下需求：(1)改善班級設備及編擬極重度多重障礙領域之教材與書籍；(2)規劃照護實作研習及極重度多重障礙課程進修管道；(3)行政單位積極地支援與分擔照護責任，建立密切合作關係；(4)提升專業團隊服務內容，建置醫療巡迴團隊。最後針對研究結果提出實務及未來研究建議。
