요약

이 연구는 발달장애 아동의 부모에게 응용행동분석 부모교육을 실시한 후 응용행동분석 교육에 대한 인식과 자녀교육과 관련하여 어떤 변화가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 참여자는 ABA 이론교육 및 실습교육을 모두 수료한 발달장애 아동 부모 6명이며, 이들을 대상으로 ABA 부모교육에 대한 심층면담을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 응용행동분석 효과성을 긍정적으로 인식하고 있었고 적용 범위를 더 넓게 인식하게 되었으며, 교육내용과 운영방법 및 교육결과에 만족하고 있었다. 둘째, 삶의 질이 전반적으로 개선되었다. 자녀의 문제행동을 객관적으로 바라보고, 가족 관계도 개선되면서 긍정적인 심리상태를 보였다. 셋째, 부모의 양육효능감이 크게 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 양육기술이 증가하고, 양육스트레스가 감소했으며, 자신을 유능한 부모라고 인식하게 되었다. 넷째, 자녀교육을 위해 응용행동분석 원리와 전략을 일상적으로 사용하고 있었다. 교육 수료 후 평균 1년 이상의 기간이 지났으나 일상생활에서 교육내용을 잘 적용하고 유지하고 있었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어보아 ABA 부모교육은 발달장애 아동 부모의 인식과 자녀교육에 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the changes in parents’ perception of ABA education and the changes in their education of children after conducting ABA parent education for parents of children with developmental disabilities. The study participants were six parents with children who have developmental disabilities and had received ABA theoretical education and practical training. They were given in-depth interviews on ABA parent education. The results of the research are as follows. First, the effectiveness of ABA was positively recognized, and the scope of its application was more widely recognized. They were satisfied with the education’s contents, its operation methods, and the education’s results. Second, the parent’s quality of life has improved generally. They looked objectively at the children’s problem behavior and showed positive psychological status as their family relations improved. Third, the parent ’s ability to raise children improved significantly. Parenting skills increased, parenting stress decreased and the participants recognized themselves as competent parents. Fourth, ABA principles and strategies were routinely used for children’s education. Although an average of more than one year has passed since the completion of their education, the contents of the education were well applied and maintained throughout their everyday lives. These results show that ABA training for parents with children with developmental disabilities has a positive effect on the parent’s perception and their children’s education.
