Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of encouragement-centered class management on elementary students' adaptation to school life and self-encouragement. The various encouragement-centered class management tactics were developed which were based on Adler's Individual psychology theory. Subjects were two classes which were 5th grade at A elementary school in Gwangju. One class was experiment group(n=28) and the other class was control group(n=31). Data were collected through the school adaptation scale(kang, 2008) and self-encouragement scale(Gi and Hong, 2008). The collected data were analysed using ANCOVA. The results of this study were following; First, school adaptation score had improved significantly in experimental group than the control group. Second, self-encouragement score had improved significantly in experimental group than the control group.

본 연구의 목적은 격려중심 학급운영이 초등학생의 학교생활적응과 자기격려에 미치는 효과를 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 다양한 격려중심학급운영방안이 아들러의 개인심리학 이론에 기초하여 개발되었다. 연구대상은 광주광역시 A 초등학교 5학년 2개반이며, 한 반은 실험집단(n=28), 다른 한 반은 통제집단(n=31)이었다. 자료는 학교적응검사(강해련, 2008)와 자기격려척도(기채영, 홍경자, 2008)를 통해 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 공분산분석을 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 통제집단보다 실험집단에서 학교적응점수가 유의미하게 증진하였다. 둘째, 통제집단보다 실험집단에서 지기격려점수가 유의미하게 증가하였다.
