Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a teacher's leadership (initiating and consideration), class climate, and friendship on academic attitudes. In order to accomplish this, 1,533 elementary school students were recruited. Descriptive statistics and path analysis were employed to examine relationships. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, there were positive correlations between academic attitudes and the teacher's leadership, class climate, and friendship. Second, results of path analysis illustrated that a teacher's leadership consideration indicator had a direct impact on class climate, friendship, and academic attitudes. Furthermore, the teacher's leadership consideration indirectly affected academic attitudes through mediation of class climate and friendship. However, the teacher's leadership initiating indicator did not have a direct impact on class climate, friendship, and academic attitude. The indices of the best fit model for these variables were adequate (GFI, NFI, CFI > 0.90). This study shows that the teacher's leadership consideration is the significant predictor for elementary school students' class climate, friendship, and academic attitudes. Finally, the meaning and limitations of this research, and its implications on academic assistance and intervention, are discussed in detail.

본 연구는 초등학생들이 지각하는 교사의 지도성 유형이 학급풍토와 학생들 간의 관계, 학업 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고 이 과정에서 각 변인들의 경로를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 서울과 경기 지역 소재 6개 초등학교에 재학 중인 학생들을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 응답한 학생 중 불성실한 응답자를 제외하고 총 1,533명의 자료가 분석에 사용되었다. 각 변인간의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 기술통계, 상관분석, 경로모형분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 교사의 지도성 유형의 과업중심유형과 인화중심유형은 각각 학급풍토, 교우관계, 학업태도와 모두 유의미한 정적 상관을 보였다. 둘째, 관련 선행연구들을 바탕으로 교사의 지도성 유형이 학급풍토, 교우관계를 매개로 학업태도에 영향을 미치는 모형을 연구가설로 설정하고 검증을 실시하였다. 모형 검증 결과, 교사의 인화중심 지도성 유형은 학업태도에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 학급풍토와 교우관계를 매개로 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 학교장면에서 효과적인 교사의 지도성 유형을 이해하고 학급풍토와 교우관계 등이 학업태도에 유의한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 초등학교에서 학생들의 바람직한 학업태도를 형성할 수 있도록 돕는 교사의 지도성 유형과 조력 방향을 논의하였다.
