| Abstract | By the mid-1970s, several pieces of federal legislation were passed requiring that handicapped or exceptional children be educated "in the least restrictive environment." The resulting "mainstreaming" of special children in regular classrooms has caused certain expectancies and special inclusion needs. To find out more about the perceptions of mainstreamed children a study examined interpersonal needs and expectations among students in grades 6 to 8. The method used was to apply Q Methodology to the study of the patterned perceptions of special children who have been mainstreamed into a required middle school class. Approximately 500 students (including those labeled "handicapped") in required computer literacy classes from a midwestern county school, were tested to determine their communication self-concept. Only 340 of the tests were completed correctly and usable for data analysis. Five significant types of students emerged: (1) The Capable; (2) The Ego; (3) The Outcast; (4) The Reticent; and (5) The Okay Kid. Results suggest that Q is a useful technique for examining the interrelationships among interpersonal needs of adolescents; that a majority of the special students appeared to function successfully in a regular classroom; and that reticence is the major problem of one-third of the special students. (Three tables are included, and 30 references and lists for item descriptions and descending array of z-scores for types 1-5 are appended.) (MS) |
