본 연구는 통합교육시 레크리에이션 활동을 통해 장애학생들의 사회성 증진과 일반학생들의 장애학생에 대한 태도변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 일반 중학교에서 통합교육을 받고 있는 장애학생 4명과 일반학생 10명을 대상으로 레크리에이션 활동을 약7개월 동안 주 1회 총 30회기 실시하였다. 그 결과 장애학생의 협력, 자기주장, 자아통제 등 사회적 기술이 향상되었으며, 특히 장애학생 3명의 경우 자기주장에서 가장 많은 향상을 보였다. 이와 함께 일반학생의 경우 장애아에 대한 태도가 보다 긍정적으로 변화되었으며, 특히 여학생이 29% 증가율로서 남학생 17% 증가율 보다 높게 나타났다.
