Abstract

본 연구는 방과 후 농업 체험활동 프로그램이 초등학생의 정서지능과 회복탄력성 향상 및 우울감 감소에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 서울시 초등학교에 재학 중인 4-6학년(11-13세) 초등학생 총 30명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 참여에 동의한 30명의 학생 중 농업체험 프로그램에 참여를 희망한 18명은 실험군으로, 농업체험 프로그램에 참여를 희망하지 않은 학생 12명은 대조군으로 집단화 하였다. 실험군은 2018년 4월부터 7월까지, 총 12주간(주 1회, 회기당 60분)의 방과 후 활동으로 본 프로그램에 참여하였다. 초등학생의 정서적 건강 증진을 위해 사회정서학습 이론에 기반한 농업체험 프로그램을 설계하였다. 프로그램 실시 전과 후에 자기보고식 설문지를 이용해 정서지능, 우울, 회복탄력성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 농업 체험활동 프로그램에 참여한 초등학생의 정서지능이 향상되었고(P=0.031), 우울감이 감소된(P=0.011) 반면 대조군에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05). 회복탄력성은 실험군과 대조군에서 모두 실험 전후 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 본 농업체험 프로그램에 참여한 아동들은 프로그램에 대해 높은 만족감을 보고하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사회 정서학습이론을 적용한 농업체험 프로그램이 초등학교 고학년 학생의 정서지능 향상과 우울감 감소에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 추후, 표본수를 확대하여 농업 체험활동 프로그램의 효과 검증 연구가 추가적으로 필요할 것이라 생각되며, 다양한 지역의 초등학생들에게 확대 적용하는 연구도 필요할 것이다.
