Abstract

This study attempted to find out whether learning time has a mediating effect according to the gender, region, and grade of middle school students in the relationship between academic engagement and self-esteem. To this end, a survey of 1,045 middle school students in Gyeongsangnam-do was conducted on academic engagement, learning time, and self-esteem. Difference verification was conducted to determine the difference in academic engagement, learning time, and self-esteem according to the general characteristics of the study subjects, correlation analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between major variables, and regression analysis was conducted to verify the mediating effect of learning time. As a result of the analysis, first, there was no difference in the academic engagement of middle school students by group. In the learning time, middle school students in the city area were significantly higher than those in the township area, male students had higher self-esteem than female students, and students in the city area had significantly higher self-esteem as the grade went up. Second, as a result of correlation analysis, learning time, academic engagement, and self-esteem showed a positive correlation. Third, in the entire group not divided by group, both the direct path through which academic engagement reaches self-esteem and the partial mediating model from learning time to self-esteem showed significant effects. In the analysis by gender, only female students excluding male students showed a partial mediating effect, and the analysis results by region showed a partial mediating effect only on students in the city. The analysis results by grade showed a partial mediating effect only for second-year middle school students. In order to improve the self-esteem of middle school students, education and counseling should be conducted in consideration of not only individual differences by gender and grade, but also the region in which they live.

본 연구에서는 학업열의와 자아존중감의 관계에서 학습시간이 중학생의 성별, 지역별, 학년에 따라 매개효과가 있는 가를 알아보고자 하였다 이를 위해 경상남도 소재의 중학생 1,045명을 대상으로 학습시간, 학업열의, 자존감에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구대상의 일반적 특성에 따른 학업열의, 학습시간, 자존감의 차이를 파악하기 위하여 차이검증을 실시하였고, 주요 변인간의 상관관계를 파악하기 위한 상관분석을 실시하였으며 학습시간의 매개효과를 검증하기 위하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 중학생의 학업열의는 집단별 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 학습시간은 시지역 중학생이 읍면지역보다 유의미하게 높게 나타났고, 자존감은 여학생보다 남학생이 높고, 시지역학생이 읍·면지역 학생보다 유의미하게 높았고, 학년이 올라갈수록 자존감은 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 상관분석 결과 학습시간, 학업열의, 자존감은 정적상관관계를 나타내었다. 셋째, 집단별로 나누지 않은 전체집단에서는 학업열의가 자존감에 이르는 직접 경로와 학습시간을 거쳐 자존감에 이르는 부분 매개모형에서 학습시간의 부분매개효과가 모두 유의하게 나타났다. 성별로 구분하여 분석한 결과에서는 남학생을 제외한 여학생만 부분매개효과가 나타났고, 지역별 분석결과는 시지역의 학생에게만 부분매개효과가 나타났다. 학년별 분석결과는 중학교 2학년 학생만 부분매개효과가 나타났다. 급격한 신체적, 정서적, 인지적 발달 중인 중학생의 자아존중감을 향상시키기 위해서는 성별, 학년별 개인 차이뿐 아니라 살고 있는 지역도 고려한 교육과 상담이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
