Abstract

This study was designed to analyze fifty-seven high school students' perception of environmental change through drawing. More than half of the students showed the present environment as a pure natural space, and they represented the future environment as a space which includes the artificial contents, they also expressed technology advance in their picture. Most of high school students showed the negative perception to express the present environmental condition in a polluted space by human. In matters of the future environmental condition, half of students expressed it positively, the other half of students expressed it negatively, we should develop our will to improve the environment, and try to change student's preception positively.

본 연구는 57명의 고등학생들이 환경의 변화에 대해 갖고 있는 인식을 그리기 활동을 통해서 분석하였다. 절반이 넘는 학생들이 현재의 환경을 순수한 자연 공간으로, 미래의 환경을 인공적 요소들이 포함된 공간으로 표현하여 과학기술의 발달을 그림속에 나타내었다. 대부분의 고등학생들은 현재의 환경 상태를 인간에 의해 오염된 공간으로 표현하여 부정적 인식을 드러내었다. 미래의 환경 상태에 대해서는 절반의 학생들이 긍정적으로, 나머지 절반의 학생들은 부정적으로 표현하고 있어 학교 현장에서 환경을 개선하려는 의지를 드높이고 긍정적 인식으로 전환시킬 수 있도록 노력해야 할 것이다.
