Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 105 === The purpose of this research is to follow three student patients who received hospital schooling due to health impairments. Their life course from receiving treatment during early stages of onset until recovery and return to life on school grounds is described through their parents’ perspective. This study utilizes the grounded theory for qualitative research and conducted in depth interviews through a semi-structured interview framework in order to investigate parents’ perception toward hospital schooling as well as this particular phase of students’ course of education. The researcher then further conducted induction of interview content and proposed suggestions. Research findings and conclusions are as follows: I. Typical members of society as well as students and faculty understand little of students suffering from childhood cancer. Relevant staff members are not familiar with the potential education resources available to patient students when they leave school grounds which may lead to possible doubts when administering care to students, resulting in problems with grade calculation and authority. II. Returning to school depends on students’ state of health as well as stage of treatment. Students return to school on a progressive basis for it is impossible to absolutely determine whether or not they can return to life on school grounds. This means that the various education resources students receive upon return will certainly overlap. Relevant services may be gradually removed according to adaptability of students returning to school. III. The education resources students receive are only limited to compulsory education, with limited service content as well as time which cannot satisfy their educational needs. The researcher conducted induction of interview findings and believes education administrative units and schools should strengthen awareness of childhood cancer patients. They should address student needs and stipulate defined grade calculation and return procedures as well as increase the number of hours and include more people to be serviced by education resources so that patient students may return to school life more successfully.
