The purpose of this qualitative study was to assess the effectiveness of a disability sport unit in shaping perceptions of disability. Data from interviews, observations, and documents were collected on 87 elementary-aged students, one physical education teacher, and one teaching intern. Comparisons were drawn between fifth graders engaged in a five-week disability sport unit to fourth graders participating in their standard physical education curriculum. Findings revealed differences in the way fourth and fifth graders came to view individuals with disabilities. The results support an analysis of curriculum development that underscores the significance of the social model in positively impacting constructions of disability. Recommendations include the use of disability sports in physical education as an effective strategy for educating students in game play, knowledge of the Paralympics, and the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in a variety of sporting venues.
这项定性研究的目的是评估一个残疾人体育单元在塑造对残疾的认知方面的有效性。收集了来自87名小学生、一名体育教师和一名实习教师的访谈、观察和文件数据。对参加为期五周残疾人体育单元的五年级学生和参加标准体育课程的四年级学生进行了比较。研究结果揭示了四年级和五年级学生看待残疾人方式的差异。这些结果支持了对课程发展的一种分析，该分析强调了社会模式在积极影响残疾观念构建方面的重要性。建议包括在体育教育中使用残疾人体育作为一种有效的策略，用于在游戏活动、残奥会知识以及让残疾人融入各种体育场馆方面对学生进行教育。
