Abstract

The number of multi-cultural members, such as immigrant labors, international marriage women are gradually increasing in Japan society. Now it might be said that Japan has become a multi-cultural society. Recently in Japanese kindergartens and nursery schools the numbers of foreign and bi-cultural children are increasing. The aim of this paper is to review the researches on the cultural diversity in the Japan, especially in childcare. Methodology proceeds from a review of related literature to internet-based data and to the statistics issued by the government. Through reviewing them, the problems of teachers' assumptions and the importance of discussions about teachers' competencies to educate minority children and to communicate with their parents were suggested. As a switch over to multi-cultural society is occurring in Japan, the attitude of assimilationism is weakening, and the local community is now beginning to tolerate the multi-cultural childcare. Consequently, It was over to age that is distinguish identity from only nationality.

본 연구는 가정이나 학교생활에서의 부적응 행동 아동을 대상으로 미술치료를 실시하여 우울 및 불안 감소와 자아존중감 향상에 어떠한 효과가 있는지 알아보기 위한 것이었다. 연구대상은 J시 초등학교 1학년 여자 아동(만 7세)으로 주 2회, 50분씩 총 24회기 미술치료 프로그램을 적용하였으며, 치료 종결부분에 어머니-아동과 함께 6회기 미술치료를 실시하였다. 아동의 우울 및 불안 감소를 알아보기 위해 Kovacs와 Beak(1977)이 개발한 Children's Depression Inventory(CDI)를 조수철 이영식(1990)이 번안한 한국형 아동용 우울 척도와 자아존중감 향상을 알아보기 위해 Reynolds와 Richmond(1978)가 제작한 Revised Child Manifest Anxiety Scale(RCMAS)을 조수철 최진숙(1990)이 번안한 척도를 사용하였다. 그리고 아동의 정서적인 평가를 위해 KHTP, KFD 그림검사를 사전-사후로 실시하여 분석하였으며, 프로그램 진행과정에서의 아동의 변화를 회기별로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미술치료가 아동의 우울 및 불안을 감소시키는데 효과가 있었다. 둘째, 미술치료가 아동의 자아존중감을 향상시키는데 효과가 있었다. 셋째, 아동의 KHTP, KFD 그림검사에서는 긍정적으로 정서적 안정이 변화되었으며, 가족의 소속감, 응집력이 강화되어 친밀한 가족으로 변화하였다. 넷째, 회기별 미술치료 프로그램 진행과정에서 아동의 우울 및 불안이 감소되고 자아존중감이 향상되었다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 미술치료가 부적응 행동 아동의 우울 및 불안을 감소시키고 자아존중감을 향상시키는데 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
