ABSTRACT |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a self- determination program on the self- determination skills of high school student s with mental retardation. One- group pre- test -post - test research design was used for this study. Nine high school girls with mental retardation participated in the self- determination program. Self- determination skills of subject s were measured by their teacher s and parents before and after implementing the program using Self-Determination Teacher Perception Scale and Self-Determination Parent Perception Scale developed by Hoffman, Field, and Sawilosky (2000). Matched pair t- test was used for the analyses. The research findings were as follows: (1) According to the teacher perception, there was a statistically significant improvement of self- determination skills of high school students with mental retardation after implementing the self- determination program. (2) According to the parent perception, there was no statistically significant improvement of self- determination skills of high school student s with mental retardation even after implementing the self- determination program. The implications of the research results are discussed. |
