Abstract

This study aims to verify the effect of the strength note program by comparing and analyzing the effect of the strength note program on self-esteem and self-efficacy of university students in Convergence Age. This study targeted 70 male and female university students in G area and the subjects were asked to find their and other people's positive characteristics or strengths once a week and record them. For analysis of the collected data, frequency and percentage analysis and paired-t-test were conducted using SPSS WIN 20.0. As the result, the strength note program significantly influenced the improvement in self-esteem and self-efficacy of university students. This result demonstrates the necessity of the strength note program for improving self-esteem and self-efficacy of university students. Therefore, there is a need to provide a specific and systematic strength note program to help university students get over diverse problems. It is considered that this will help mental health, academic achievement and career search of university students and contribute to the enhancement in happiness and the quality of life. Also it will be the basis for future longitudinal studies through interdisciplinary convergency research.

본 연구에서는 강점노트프로그램이 융복합시대 대학생들의 자아존중감과 자기효능감에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하여 강점노트 프로그램 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 조사대상은 G지역 소재 대학교에 재학 중인 남녀 대학생 70명으로 일주일에 한 번씩 자신과 타인의 긍정적인 특성이나 장점 등을 찾아 기록하도록 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 20.0을 사용하여 빈도와 백분율, paired-t-test를 실시하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 강점노트 프로그램을 실시하기 이전보다 실시한 이후 대학생들의 자아존중감과 자기효능감을 증진시키는데 유의미한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 강점노트 프로그램의 필요성이 확인되었다. 따라서 디지털융복합시대를 살고 있는 대학생들이 겪고 있는 다양한 문제를 극복할 수 있는 구체적이고 체계적인 강점노트 프로그램이 제공되어야 한다. 이는 대학생들의 정신건강과 학업성취, 진로탐색 등을 돕고, 행복과 삶의 질을 높이는데 기여할 것이며, 학제간의 융합연구를 통해 추후 종단연구의 기반이 될 것이다.
