Abstract

As the number of students in the multicultural background grows, the interest in their education is also increasing. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of forest healing factors on the improvement of language ability and ego-resilience of students from multicultural families. We conducted an after-school forest healing program of ten male and ten female middle school students of a multicultural preparatory school located in ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$-dong in Cheongju, Chungnam Province. The experiment consisted of a total of 12 weekly one-hour (60 minutes) programs from April 12, 2018 to June 26, 2018. The forest healing program is an activity that uses the various environmental factors that exist in the forest to increase the immunity of the human body and restore physical and mental health. To determine the difference in ego-resilience before and after the program, we conducted a paired t-test and analyzed with the SPSS 18.0 program. The results showed that the ego-resilience significantly improved in all sub-factors including the positive thinking ability, problem-solving ability, intimacy ability, emotional adjustment ability, and autonomic behavior ability (p<.001). The descriptive statistics of the language ability showed the improvement in writing errors, pronunciation errors, sentence errors, tense errors, and errors in research and connection. We expect the results of this study can be used as the basic data to improve ego-resilience and language acquisition ability of middle-entry children and students from multicultural families.

다문화 배경 학생들이 늘어남에 따라 이들의 교육에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 숲이 가지고 있는 산림치유인자들과 요인들을 활용하여 다문화 배경 학생들의 언어습득향상과 자아탄력성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험대상은 청주시 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$동에 위치한 다문화예비학교 중학생 남녀 각각 10명을 대상으로 방과 후에 산림치유프로그램을 운영하였다. 실험기간은 2018년 4월12일부터 2018년 6월26일까지 매주 1회씩 12회기로 1시간 (60분)씩 실시하였다. 산림치유프로그램은 숲에 존재하는 다양한 환경요소를 활용하여 인체의 면역력을 높이고 신체적 정신적 건강을 회복시키는 활동이다. 프로그램 실시 전과 후에 자아탄력성의 차이를 알아보기 위해 대응표본 t-test를 실시하고 그 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 자아탄력성은 긍정사고능력, 문제해결능력, 친밀행동능력, 감정조절능력, 자율행동능력 등 하위요인 모두에서 통계적으로 유의미하게 향상되었다(p<.001). 언어능력향상은 기술통계로 알아본 결과 쓰기의 오류, 발음의 오류, 문장의 오류, 시제의 오류, 조사 접속사의 오류 모두에서 향상되었다. 본 연구결과가 향후 중도입국자녀들이나 다문화 배경 학생들의 자아탄력성과 언어습득향상에 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
