초록

본 연구는 숲체험을 학교 교과과정 중에 실시하였을 때 초등학생에게 미치는 환경교육의 효과를 파악하고자 학교에서 이루어지는 숲체험이 초등학생의 숲에 대한 인식의 변화를 분석한 것이다. 자료는 전주시내 2개 초등학교 2~3학년 311명을 대상으로 숲체험 전과 후에 설문 조사를 통하여 얻었으며, 이 자료들을 분석하여 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 숲체험에 참여한 학생들은 숲에 대한 인식, 숲에서의 행동인식, 숲해설의 필요성의 모든 영역에서 숲체험 후에 긍정적인 변화를 보였다. 특히 숲에서의 행동인식 영역이 숲에 대한 인식과 숲해설의 필요성에 대한 영역보다 유의적인 결과를 보였다. 숲에서의 행동인식의 세부항목에서 숲 속 생물에 대한 행동인식과 환경인식이 크게 향상되었다. 이와같은 결과로 보아 초등학생의 숲체험은 생명존중의 의식을 갖게 하고 자연환경의 중요성을 인식하는 데에 큰 도움이 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 초등학생에게 생명존중의식 및 환경의식을 향상시키고 자연에 대한 감수성을 길러주기 위해서 숲체험과 같은 자연체험이 필요하므로, 더 많은 초등학생이 학교의 창의적체험활동에서 숲체험을 할 수 있도록 확대 시행될 것을 제안하는 바이다.

In the details of the behavior recognition, a behavior recognition and environmental awareness for the life of the forest have been greatly improved. From the results described above, the forest experience can be seen a great help to elementary school students to have a respect and dignity of life and recognize the importance of the natural environment. Thus, the nature experience such as the forest experience is needed to enhance the life respect and environmental consciousness, foster sensitivity to natural cycles. In order that much more elementary school student can participate in evironmetal education through the forest experience, it would suggest to perform the forest experience as creative and experiential activities in the school curriculum.
