It was conducted to provide a basis for the development of healing programs utilizing the existing infrastructure of the rural education farm in the process of looking for early application plan of ‘Agro-healing’. The purpose of operating the farm was in order production･ process･sales and education, and then, healing. The production･process･sales was the highest (p=0.000). All farms have had signs or bulletin board, parking. Gender-separated toilets, and basin was held 90% or more. The farm which was held cultivation facilities for disabled in wheelchair was found to be 9.6%. Regular employee was minimum 1 people including owner up to 10 people, an average of 3.7 people were working, a welfare horticultural therapist is the highest as a retain qualification. The purpose of operating program in the farm was education, it was the highest. The most utilizing resources were agricultural work for operation the programs (p=0.000). The program was developed by owner themselves in the most of farms. Regular employment was found to be 6.7%. The age of participant was in order elementary schoolchild and then toddlers. Group form of visiting was school unit or work unit mostly. Target who needed help appeared to alcohol drug addicts and then handicapped, the number of people of participating at the same time was minimum 10 to 100 people. 79% of respondents had the intend of introducing healing program and transition to healing farm. Subject who respondents wanted to access for the next healing program was elementary schoolchild. Number of participants which respondents wanted as a group was 15. Most general people wanted the emotional experience which stimulated the emotion and mood such as positive emotions, joy, and pride. If we introduce the program for healing utilizing the infrastructure of the rural education farm, it might contribute to explore new spaces for creative agriculture and the early settlement of ‘Agro-healing’.

이 논문은 예비 초등학교 교사의 식물 관련 경험과 농업문해가 농업에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시도한 연구이다. 이를 위해 연구모형을 설정하고 2012년 1학기 초 A 대학 초등교육과 2학년을 대상으로 조사하였고 387명의 질문지가 분석에 활용되었다. 빈도, 비율, 평균, 표준편차, 왜도, 그리고 첨도 등의 기술통계와 상관관계, 신뢰도분석, 그리고 구조방정식분석의 방법을 활용해 자료를 분석하였고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 연구에서 설정한 변인 간 구조모형은 예비 초등학교 교사의 식물 관련 경험, 농업문해, 그리고 농업에 대한 태도의 인과관계를 타당하게 예측하였다. 예비 초등학교 교사의 농업에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 변인은 식물 관련 경험과 농업문해였으며, 농업문해가 상대적으로 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 식물 관련 경험은 농업문해를 매개로 하여 농업에 대한 태도에 간접적인 영향도 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 초등학교 교사를 양성하는 과정에서 농업에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 함양시키기 위해 식물 관련 경험과 지식을 습득할 기회를 확대할 수 있도록 별도의 실습 프로그램을 운영하거나 교내 시설을 활용한 체험 학습 기회를 확대할 필요가 있다. 그리고 이는 초등학교 식물교육의 활성화에 작은 밑거름이 될 것이다.
