Abstract

This study aimed to propose implications for mental health and cultural arts education, in which certain factors can contribute to acquiring and improving creativity in adolescents to cultivate the creative human resources required in future society. The study used panel data from the Korean Education Longitudinal Study provided by the Korea Educational Development Institute. First, we analyzed the correlation between mental health and creativity and then examined mediation and serial mediation effects of the frequency of participation in cultural activities and the experience of them between two factors. The results showed that mental health was significantly positively correlated with creativity. Additionally, the frequency of participation in cultural activities and their experience were confirmed to have partial mediating effects. In other words, sound mental health factors such as comfort, enjoyment and happiness, cultural education, and cultural activities were found to have positive effects on creativity in adolescents. To develop creativity in adolescents, this study suggests the following challenges: (1) enhancing positive mental health, (2) increasing participation in cultural and artistic activities, (3) actively developing education programs for the cultural arts on community and educational sites, and (4) using and promoting local cultural and artistic education programs. These are expected to make an important contribution to fostering talented adolescents with creativity and convergence.

본 연구는 미래로 나아갈수록 창의적 인재가 요구되는 사회에서 청소년의 창의성을 어떻게 발현시키고 발달시킬 것인가에 대한 건강한 정신건강과 문화예술교육의 함의를 시사하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 연구 방법은 한국교육개발원에서 제공하는 한국교육종단연구(KELS) 패널 데이터 자료를 부분 추출하여 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 사용하여 정신건강과 창의성의 관계를 살펴보았고 정신건강과 창의성의 관계에서 문화활동참여 빈도, 문화예술활동 경험 각각의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 정신건강과 창의성의 관계는 유의미한 정적 관계로 나타났으며 부분매개효과를 확인했고 편안함, 즐거움, 행복함의 긍정적 정신건강과 문화예술교육, 문화예술활동이 청소년의 창의성에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 결과를 본 연구에서 검증하였다. 따라서 청소년의 창의성 발달을 위해 마음의 편안함, 즐거움, 행복함과 같은 심리·정서적 정신건강 증진이 우선 되어야 하며 촉진 수단의 매개로 문화예술활동에 참여하는 방법을 활용할 수 있으며 청소년 문화예술활동 경험의 활성화를 위한 지역사회와 교육 현장의 다양한 문화예술교육 프로그램 개발 및 제공은 미래 사회의 창의융합형 인재를 양성하기 위한 주요한 과제가 될 것이다.
