Abstract

This study takes the position that present after-school classes affect the development of children's sociality and self-esteem, and aims at comparing, analyzing and grasping the differences in sociality and self-esteem of the children who attend after-school classes and those of the children who don't. First, when the differences of sociality were analyzed between the children going to after-school classes and those who weren't, it was revealed that those who attended after-school classes had rather lower level of sociality than those who didn't, but there were no statistically meaningful differences. Second, when the differences of self-esteem in regard to whether children took after-school classes or not were examined, those who were taking after-school classes were analyzed to have lower self-esteem than those who weren't. The study results showed that the children who went to after-school classes had lower sociality and self-esteem compared to those who didn't. Taking this fact into consideration, different ways should be found to improve their sociality and self-esteem. In addition, programs need to be developed and introduced so that after-school classes can not only fulfill their original purposes of protecting and guiding children, but also continuously elevate and maintain children's sociality and self-esteem.

본 연구는 현재의 방과후교실이 아동의 사회성 및 자아존중감 발달에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 입장에서 방과후 교실을 이용하는 아동과 이용하고 있지 않은 아동의 사회성 및 자아존중감을 비교, 분석하여 그 차이를 밝히고자 하였다. 첫째, 방과후교실을 이용하는 아동과 이용하지 않는 아동의 사회성에 관한 차이에 대하여 분석한 결과, 방과후 교실을 이용하고 있는 아동이 이용하고 있지 않은 아동보다 사회성이 약간 낮은 것으로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 둘째, 아동의 방과후교실 이용 여부에 따른 자아존중감의 차이에 관하여 분석한 결과, 방과후교실을 이용하고 있는 아동이 이용하고 있지 않는 아동보다 자아존중감이 더 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 방과후교실을 이용하는 아동의 사회성이나 자아존중감이 이용하지 않은 아동에 비해 낮다는 결과를 보여주고 있다. 이러한 점을 고려해 볼 때, 방과후교실을 이용하는 아동의 사회성이나 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 여러 가지 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다. 또한 방과후교실이 아동의 안전한 보호와 지도 등 본래의 목적과 더불어 지속적으로 아동의 사회성과 자아존중감을 높여주고 유지시켜 줄 수 있는 프로그램의 개발과 도입이 시행되어야 하겠다.
