본 연구는 MGL(move-grow-learn)운동교육프로그램 적용하여 정신지체아동들의 동작모방능력과 균형능력에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 문헌연구를 통하여 선행연구들을 검토하고, 특수교육 및 특수체육전문가들과의 논의를 통해 운동교육 프로그램을 재구성하였으며, B광역시에 소재한 복지관과 일반학교에 재학 중인 정신지체아동들을 단순무선표집의 방법으로 실험집단 10명, 통제집단 10명으로 구분하여 프로그램을 적용하였다. 프로그램 실시 후, 동작모방능력과 균형능력을 측정하였으며 연구의 결과는 운동교육 프로그램을 실시한 집단의 동작모방능력과 균형능력에서 유의미한 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 정신지체아동에게 있어 그들의 여가와 삶의 질을 촉진시킬 수 있는 효과적인 운동교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 있어 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of movement education program on movement imitation ability and balance ability of children with mental retardation. The subjects of this study were twenty children with mental retardation who were divided into two groups, experimental and control. They were active during total 30 sessions by using MGL(Move-Grow-Learn)movement education program. The definite purposes of this study were as follows;First, the effect on movement imitation ability of children with mental retardation followed by application of movement education program has been elucidated. Second, the balance ability of children with mental retardation followed by application of movement education program has been elucidated. In conclusion, the movement imitation ability and the balance ability of children with mental retardation were improved after MGL(Move-Grow-Learn) movement education program. furthermore, it provided remarkable and positive effect on the movement imitation ability and the balance ability. Therefore, it need to study make clear the relation of the movement imitation ability and balance ability through diversity movement education programs in mentally retarded children in subsequent studies.
