摘要
Simulation is used for awareness activities and for learning disability sport in adapted physical activity courses. The impact of participation in simulation si explored using qualitative inquiry involving 79 post-secondary students: 54 women and 25 men (ages 19 to 41). Content analysis of the questionnaire responses indicated that the impact of the simulation was reflectedin three conceptual categories: (a) purpose; (b) feelings; and (c) learning. Thethemesthatemergedwere: for purpose (a) feeling what it is like to have a disability, and (b) participating in disability sport; for feelings (a) enjoyment of sport, (b) challenges, and (c) vulnerability; and, for learning, (a) what students valued, and (b) first-hand experience with the challenges that individuals with disabilities face every day. Students demonstrated some misunderstandings and risks despite overall positive responses to the experience.
