창업교육 기반 카페 동아리 활동이 지적장애 고등학생의 진로결정 효능감 및 직업준비도와 비장애학생의 장애학생에 대한 사회적 거리감에 미친 영향

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the entrepreneurship education-based cafe club on career decision self-efficacy and vocational readiness of students with intellectual disabilities, and on social distance of peers to students with intellectual disabilities. Method: Twenty high school students with intellectual disabilities(10 students of an experimental group and 10 students of a control group) and 14 peers without intellectual disabilities participated in this study. Ten students with intellectual disabilities and 14 peers participated in nine classroom sessions(100 minutes per session), in which they were instructed on new information and skills related to the cafe management. Also, the students were provided four sessions(60 minutes per session) to practice the skills in a cafe environment. Results: Students with intellectual disabilities in the experimental group had significantly greater increase in career decision efficacy and vocational readiness compared to the control group. Statistically significant differences were found in pretest-posttest changes of social distance of peers without intellectual disabilities to students with intellectual disabilities. Conclusion: The entrepreneurship education can be one of the approaches regarding career education programs for students with intellectual disabilities in school settings. Additionally, this study had practical implications in that it provided a guideline for developing and applying the systematic club in which high school students with and without intellectual disabilities could participate.
