본 연구는 정신지체 특수학교 초등과정의 과학교과 운영 개선을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 과학교과 운영실태에 대한 현장교사들의 인식을 조사하여 분석하는 데에 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 전국 24개 정신지체 특수학교 초등과정 교사 116명을 연구 대상으로 한 설문지를 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 많은 학교가 과학교과를 적절히 운영하고 있지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대부분의 학교들이 과학교과를 운영하기 위한 시설ㆍ설비를 제대로 갖추지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 많은 교사들이 과학교과의 교수-학습활동, 학생의 이해, 교과교육의 전문성에서 수행능력이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로, 정신지체 특수학교 과학교과 운영에 대한 개선점과 향후 연구 방향을 제안하였다.
