초록

본 연구의 목적은 숲 체험 프로그램이 지역아동의 폐활량, 건강체력, 정서지능, 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 효과를 규명하는 것입니다. 본 연구는 D시 지역아동센터에 2022년 7월 10일부터 9월 30일까지 12주간 초등 3, 4학년을 대상으로 진행되었으며, 실험군과 대조군의 폐활량, 건강체력, 정서지능, 심리적 안녕감의 변화를 t-test를 이용하여 분석하고 검증하였다. 폐활량과 건강체력의 변화는 폐활량에서 대조군과 실험군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며(t=24.56, p<.05), 건강체력의 요소 중 심폐지구력에서도 두 집단 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었습니다(t=16.64, p<.05). 정서지능과 심리적 안녕감의 변화는 정서지능(t=2.31, p<.05)과 심리적 안녕감(t=3.21, p<.05)에서 실험군과 대조군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었습니다. 본 연구를 통해 숲 체험 프로그램의 긍정적인 효과를 확인하였고 지역의 특성에 맞게 숲 체험 교육 공간의 확충과 맞춤형 숲 체험 프로그램의 개발로 아동들의 참여 여건이 개선되어 많은 아동들이 경험할 수 있도록 제도적 장치가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a forest experience program on the lung capacity, health & fitness, emotional intelligence, and psychological well-being of local children.This study was conducted on 3rd and 4th grade elementary school students for 12 weeks from July 10 to September 30, 2022, at a local children's center in D City. Changes were analyzed and verified using t-test. Verified. The changes in the lung capacity, health & fitness, emotional intelligence, and psychological well-being of the experimental group and the control group were analyzed and verified using t-test.For the changes in lung capacity and health & fitness, there was a statistically significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in lung capacity (t=24.56, p<.05), and there was also a statistically significant difference between the two groups in cardiorespiratory endurance among the elements of health & fitness (t=16.64, p<.05). As for the changes in emotional intelligence and psychological well-being, there was statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the emotional intelligence (t=2.31, p<.05) and in psychological well-being (t=3.21, p<.05). Through this study, the positive effects of the forest experience program were confirmed, and it is believed that institutional arrangements are needed to improve children's participation conditions by expanding forest experience education spaces and developing customized forest experience programs to suit the characteristics of the region.
