Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this article is to assess the development of vocational rehabilitation science in Korea and to suggest the future direction for Vocational Rehabilitation research and practice. The two-hundred and six articles published in the Korean Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation were analyzed to identify the research question. This study found: 1) an increase in the number of authors from different academic disciplines and professional backgrounds, 2) diversity in subject matter, and 3) a shift to empirical and statistically-based methodologies. These trends suggest that the theoretical base for vocational rehabilitation science in Korea is being strengthened through the incorporation of relevant theories from other disciplines and the experiences of practitioners in the field. The author recommends that the discipline should continue to include the advantages gained by the interdisciplinary exchanges and to further explore the relationship between academic vocational rehabilitation and its socio-cultural context.
