Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an increase in self - determination experience on the behavior of young children with autism spectrum disorder by telepresence robot. As for research method, the study used AB design, two selected children engaged in activities with a telepresence robot in free play time in the morning. The activities were conducted in 19 sessions, twice a week, 15 to 40 minutes each. To investigate the effect of the activity on the child's behavior was observed using the behaviors of free play time and work time in the afternoon. All the process was recorded by a camera and then analyzed by frequency recording. The results of the study are as follows. First, the participation of young children with autism spectrum disorder in free play time increased. Second, choice-making or preference behavior of young children with autistic spectrum disorder were increased. This study suggests that increasing the self-determination experience of young children with autism spectrum disorders using telepresence robots increases their participation and increases their choice-making or preference behavior.

이 연구의 목적은 텔레프레젠스 로봇을 이용한 자기결정 경험의 증대가 자폐범주성 장애유아의 행동(참여, 선택 및 선호표현)에 미치는 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2명의 연구 참여 아동이 오전 자유놀이시간을 활용하여 주 2회, 19회기 15분에서 40분씩 텔레프레즌스 로봇과의 활동을 하는 것이다. 실험설계는 AB설계이다. 활동이 아동의 행동에 미치는 효과를 살펴보기 위해 오후의 자유놀이 시간과 작업시간을 이용하여 이들의 행동을 관찰하고 모든 과정을 녹화하였다. 그리고 모든 자료는 빈도관찰기록법으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 자유놀이 시간에서의 자폐범주성 장애유아의 참여도가 증가하였다. 둘째, 작업시간에서의 자폐범주성 장애유아의 선택하기 및 선호표현하기 행동이 증가하였다. 이 연구는 자폐 스펙트럼 장애 아동의 텔레프레즌스 로봇 이용 활동을 통한 자기 결정 경험의 증가가 그들의 참여도를 높이고 선택 또는 선호 행동을 증가 시킨다는 것을 시사한다.
