The purpose of this study was to investigate the image of the ability, roles, qualities, and expectation of elementary teachers with disabilities by general education teachers in South Korea. Around 300 Q-samples were extracted by analyzing previous research about elementary education teachers and by conducting semi-structured interviews of five general education teachers. Final 40 Q-classifications were selected and administered to 30 general elementary education teachers. The types of images of teachers with disabilities by general education teachers were classified into four different types of belief system; (a) showing commitment to students but shortage of educational resources, (b) pursuing professional development but a lack of classroom management, (c) keeping safe learning environment but limited communication with diverse students, and (d) cultivating muticultural and global interests but limited relationships with parents. The characteristics of each type were explained focusing on the most positive and negative statements of the four types and In order to reinforce the qualitative data representative of each type, additional interviews were requested from four general teachers representing each of the four types. Compared to previous studies implications for employment issues for hiring elementary teachers with disabilities were suggested.
