As there are various prejudices in modern society due to racial conflicts, regional conflicts or separated education of disabled students, and multicultural education is increasingly emphasized, which aims at teaching the unique value and dignity of different cultures and removing prejudices and exclusiveness, and anti-bias education is stressed as well. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of picture-book-aided disability experience activities as anti-bias education on the understanding of non-disabled preschoolers about disabled ones, and to provide some information on how to teach preschoolers to understand disabled peers in regular class as well as inclusive class. Two research questions were posed: 1. Do picture-book-aided education program that are based on anti-bias education affect the awareness of non-disabled preschoolers about disabled peers? 2. Do picture-book-aided education program that are based on anti-bias education affect the attitude of non-disabled preschoolers toward disabled peers? The subjects in this study were 50 students in two classes of age 5 at "K" kindergarten located in the city of Gwangmyung, Gyeonggi Province. Out of the two classes, one was selected as an experimental group that was going to receive anti-bias education, and the other was selected as a control group that wasn't. The research tool for the study was a survey on "awareness of non-disabled preschooler of disabled peer" and "grading attitude of non-disabled preschooler of their disabled peer." The disability experience activities conducted in this study were based on anti-bias education and made use of picture books. The activities consisted of fairy-tale listening, mutual talking, games, letter writing and physical expression. The experiment was implemented 24 times during an eight-week period of time, and whether there were any differences in their awareness and attitude before and after the experiment was investigated. The major findings of the study were as follows: First, the picture-book-aided disability experience activities that were based on anti-bias education had a positive impact on the awareness of the non-disabled preschoolers about disabled ones. To be specific, the activities exerted a positive influence on their awareness of preschoolers with handicaps, intellectual disability, visual impairment, hearing impairment and speech disorder. Second, the picture-book-aided disability experience activities that were based on anti-bias education exerted a positive influence on the attitude of the non-disabled preschoolers toward disabled ones. The experimental group that engaged in the activities took a more acceptive attitude toward disabled ones. When they were compared to the control group, they had a greater intention to spend time with disabled preschoolers at kindergarten, to become their friends, to play with them during field trip, to share each other's toys, to go to kindergarten and go back home together and to help them. The result of the study may lead to the further research topics. First, this study has dealt the quantity aspect of its picture-book-bias program's affect on non-disabled preschoolers on only understanding their disabled peers. Therefor a study that focuses on the quality aspect such as how non-disabled preschoolers' understandings and attitude toward their disabled peer changes through educational interactive activities is necessary. Secondly, the duration of eight week experiment gave limitation to carry on intentional activities that could not seek long term affect of the anti-bias program. Therefor an experiment set for longer experimental time to examine the affect of bias to disabled is also necessary.
