Abstract

This study aims to explore how to improve students' rights based on their age and development stages. To this end, we analyzed a survey that had been carried out with 1,065 students from elementary, middle and high schools in 2 most populated counties in Korea, focusing on the differences in their perception with regard to the right to survive, develop, be protected and participate. The result of the analysis showed that high school students' sense of rights was at the lowest in general, while being particularly low in their sense of participation rights. However, when it comes to the development rights and protection rights, the level of recognition of middle school students were as low as those of high school students. Based on the results, we suggested that a proactive effort to guarantee adolescents' participation rights is required, and that education of human rights should be emphasized not only for children but also for their supporters. In the follow-up study, it is required to investigate the differences between development stages and regions by including participants with diverse ages and residential areas.

본 연구의 목적은 서울시 아동청소년의 인권 실태 조사 결과 분석을 통해, 초, 중, 고등학생의 연령과 발달수준을 고려한 인권향상 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 서울시 기초자치단체 중 인구수가 가장 많은 2개 구에서 실시된 초, 중, 고등학생 1,065명의 조사 데이터를 활용하여 생존권, 발달권, 보호권, 참여권 영역에서 초, 중, 고등학생의 권리 인식의 차이를 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 대체로 고등학생의 권리 인식 수준이 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 참여권의 영역에서 차이가 두드러지게 나타났다. 그러나 발달권과 보호권에서는 중학생의 권리 인식 수준도 고등학생에 못지않게 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 청소년의 참여권 보장을 위한 적극적인 노력이 필요하며, 아동 권리 당사자 뿐 아니라 이행자를 위한 인권 교육 실행 및 실천적 교육 내용을 제언하였다. 후속 연구에서는 좀더 다양한 연령과 지역을 포괄하여 지역별 차이와 발달 단계별 차이를 보다 깊이있게 살펴볼 필요가 있다.
