Abstract

The Korean government has administered the 'AMPQ-II' to all middle school students to prevent psychological problems and make immediate interventions when necessary. On the other hand, there has been a paucity of studies of the effectiveness of this governmental policy, or the factors influencing the effectiveness of the intervention. Using the data from 48 counselees from two middle schools, the present study examined the effectiveness of the intervention programs, and whether the counselor's characteristics and the number of counseling sessions might matter in the effect. The results suggested that most students reported improvements after the interventions. The intervention effect was less pronounced when the counselors had governmental certification. The number of counseling sessions was not a significant factor for predicting the effectiveness of the interventions. Interpretations of the present study should be made cautiously because of the small sample size. The present results, however, suggest that efforts to improve the quality of the counseling teachers are necessary. In addition, increasing the number of counseling sessions is not necessarily effective.

정부는 학생의 정서행동적 문제를 예방하고, 위기에 즉각 개입하기 위해 국가적 차원에서 "학생정서행동특성 검사(AMPQ-II) 및 관리매뉴얼"을 통해 개입을 실시하고 있다. 하지만 국가의 개입이 실제로 효과가 얼마나 있는지, 어떠한 요인들이 개입효과에 영향을 미치는지에 대한 경험적 연구는 거의 없는 상황이다. 본 연구는 K지역 2개 중학교를 대상으로 48명의 관리대상 중학생이 개입 후 심리적 상태의 변화를 경험하였는지, 그리고 상담자의 자격증 종류와 상담 회기 수에 의해 그 효과가 다른지를 탐구하였다. 분석 결과 대다수의 학생들은 개입 이후 긍정적인 변화를 보고하는 것으로 드러났다. 국가공인 자격집단의 경우 민간 자격집단에 비해 개입효과가 떨어졌으며, 회기 수 수준별 개입효과의 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과 해석은 적은 표본수로 인해 조심스럽게 접근할 필요가 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 학교상담의 핵심인력인 전문상담교사 및 국가공인 상담자들의 전문성 제고를 위한 노력이 필요함을 함의하였으며, 단순히 상담 회기 수를 늘리는 것은 의미가 없음을 시사한다는 점에서 추후 학교상담의 제도개선과 관련된 논의에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 기대된다.
