현실요법 집단상담 프로그램이 초등학생의 리더십 생활기술, 사회성, 학급 응집력에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to discover the effects of Reality Therapy group program on leadership life skills, sociality, and classroom unity of elementary school children. The objects of this research are the 34 elementary school children at the K elementary school in the S area of Kyunggi-do, and randomly divided into two groups. Scientific methods are employed to test a Reality Therapy group program as a treatment for elementary school children to increase their level of leadership life skills, sociality, and classroom unity. For this study, one experimental group and one control group, composed of 34 students in total, are organized and treatment is conducted on these groups. The SPSS 12.0 statstics program is employed to analyze the questionnaires of both-test. Mann-Whitney U and Multiple Linear Regression test are used to analyze the result in order to verify the differences between experienced group and controlled group of pre-test scores within the groups. First, the statistics show a difference in leadership life skills factors(p<.001) between the experimental group and the control group. The Reality Therapy group program is a significant predictor of the leadership life skills. These statistics prove that experimental group has higher leadership life skills than the other group. Second, the statistics show a difference in sociality factors(p<.01) between the experimental group and the control group. The Reality Therapy group program is a significant predictor of the sociality. These statistics prove that experimental group have higher positive sociality than the other group. Third, the statistics show a difference in classroom unity factors(p<.001) between the experimental group and the control group. The Reality Therapy group program is a significant predictor of the classroom unity. These statistics prove that experimental group have higher positive classroom unity than the other group.

본 연구는 현실요법 집단상담 프로그램이 초등학생의 리더십 생활기술, 사회성, 학급 응집력에 어떠한 효과를 미치는지를 알아보기 위하여 경기도 S지역의 K초등학교 학생을 대상으로 연구에 참가를 희망하는 34명을 모집하여 실험집단 17명, 통제집단 17명으로 무선 배정하였다. 실험집단과 통제집단 간의 사전 검사 검증과 사후검사 검증에 대해서는 비모수적 통계인 Mann-Whitney U Test와 중다선형 회기분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 결론을 내리면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 현실요법 집단상담 프로그램을 경험한 실험집단은 통제집단보다 리더십 생활기술에서 통계적으로 유의미한 효과가 있었다. 둘째, 현실요법 집단상담 프로그램을 경험한 실험집단은 통제집단보다 사회성에서 통계적으로 유의미한 효과가 있었다. 셋째, 현실요법 집단상담 프로그램을 경험한 실험집단은 통제집단보다 학급 응집력에서 통계적으로 유의미한 효과가 있었다. 따라서 현실요법 집단상담 프로그램이 초등학생의 리더십 생활기술과 사회성, 학급 응집력에 긍정적인 방향으로 영향을 미친다는 사실을 알 수 있다.
