Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether chicken-rearing activity is effective on the character, emotion and self-esteem of middle school students, as a pilot study for the development of an animal-assisted education program based on chicken-rearing activity. School was selected as the place where students have experience with raising animals before and no poultry farms were located near the school. The experimental group consisted of 11 students as the chicken-rearing group. The conducted activities were greeting chickens, cleaning henhouse, feeding them, and picking eggs up for five months. Character, emotion and self-esteem scales were used as test tools, and pre-testing and post-testing were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the study. Data collected were analyzed by using SPSS Win 25.0 statistical program. As a result, the character, emotional stability and self-esteem of middle school students who participated in chicken-rearing activity were improved. This study is meaningful in that the chicken-rearing activity proved to be effective for the character, emotion and self-esteem of middle school students and prepared an experimental case study for developing an animal-assisted education program based on chicken-rearing activity. It is expected to be useful as basic data of animal-assisted education for adolescents in school.

본 연구는 닭 돌보기 활동에 기반한 동물교감교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 예비연구로써 닭과 교감하는 돌보기 활동이 중학생의 인성, 정서 및 자아존중감에 효과가 있는지 검증하고자 하였다. 참여학교는 전에 동물을 키워본 경험이 있으며, 학교 주변에 가금농장이 없는 곳으로 선정하였다. 실험집단은 중학생 11명의 닭 돌보기 봉사단으로 구성되었고 5개월간 닭에게 인사하기, 계사 청소하기, 먹이 주기, 달걀 줍기 등의 활동을 수행하였다. 연구의 효과를 검증하기 위해 인성, 정서 및 자아존중감 척도를 사용하여 실험집단의 사전, 사후 검사를 실시하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 25.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 닭 돌보기 활동에 참여한 중학생들의 인성, 정서 및 자아존중감이 향상되었다. 본 연구는 닭과 교감하는 돌보기 활동이 중학생의 인성, 정서 및 자아존중감을 향상시키는데 효과적이라는 것을 입증하였으며, 닭 돌보기 활동에 기반한 동물교감교육 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 경험적 사례를 마련하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 향후 학교 현장에서 청소년을 대상으로 하는 동물교감교육의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
