어린이 과학생물학교 프로그램이 초등학생의 스트레스, 정서지능과 사회성에 미치는 효과 KCI 등재
Effect of the Children's School of Biological Science Program on Stress, Emotional Intelligence and Sociality of Elementary School Students
pp.9-15
본 프로그램은 2007개정 초등학교 과학과 교육과정을 기본으로 원예 활동에 과학교육을 접목하여 아동의 스트레스를 감소시키고, 정서지능을 높이며 사회성을 향상시키고자 실시하였다. 그 결과 스트레스가 감소하였으며, 정서지능 증가에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 사회성에는 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 교사의 관찰 일지를 통하여 관찰력과 탐구력 및 사회성 향상에 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 학부모 설문지 결과를 통해 어린이과학생물학교 프로그램이 과학교육과 원예활동을 접목하여 창의적이고 탐구적인 효과를 얻고자 하는 새로운 시도로 평가 되었으며, 이에 대한 학부모들의 기대가 높은 것을 알 수 있었고, 이 수업과정을 통해 자녀들이 지적인 습득과 함께 심리 정서적 안정감을 얻기 원하는 것으로 나타났다. 앞으로 원예와 여러 분야의 교과부분을 접목하여 통합적인 프로그램을 제시하고, 보다 심도 있는 원예활동을 실시하여 아동들의 성장 발전에 효과를 거둘 수 있도록 연구해야 할 것이다.
As our society has rapidly developed, elementary school students are now exposed to various stresses, which have great impact on their emotion and sociality. In response to such phenomena, a study was conducted in order to reduce children’s stresses, increase emotional intelligence, and promote sociality as well as enhance scientific thinking and inquiring through developing a program which grafts horticultural activities onto science education. In total of 72 participants, preliminary and post tests were conducted and 17 from stress group, 5 from sociality group, and 14 from emotional intelligence group responded to those tests thoroughly. Their data were collected and analyzed to figure any change, and additionally teachers inspected any change in children’s activities to record. Other investigation, such as expectation on this program, was done through survey on 52 parents out of 72 participating students. As a result, stress was reduced and emotional intelligence was enhanced. There was no substantial difference in sociality, record from teachers demonstrated that there was a positive effect on inquiring and investigating ability as well as sociality. Also survey on parents indicated that parents’ expectation was very high on this program that combines horticultural activities and science education for more effective and creative effects. There should be further study on grafting horticultural activities onto other fields of education to suggest more integrated programs that help effective development on children’s growth and development.
