Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to understand the mediating effect of academic achievement on the relationship between youth activity participation and career decision-making in middle school students. To this end, data from the KCYPS2018 (Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018) were used, and this research proceeded with 2,471 middle school 1st grade students. This analysis method was a regression analysis to examine any mediating effect. And the findings are as follows. Middle school students' youth activities participation had a significant effect on career decision-making and academic achievement, and the effect of youth activities participation on career decision-making was mediated in part by academic achievement. Thus, a variety of youth activity programs should be developed and provided to middle school students to increase their motivation and academic achievement. Education and training for youth leaders and teachers should be provided to help middle school students make career decisions by operating youth activity programs in conjunction with the free semester system.

본 연구의 목적은 중학생들의 진로결정에 영향을 미치는 청소년활동 참여와 학업성취의 관계를 파악하고자 함에 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 한국청소년정책연구원의 2018 한국아동·청소년 패널자료를 활용하였다. 중학교 1학년 2,471명의 자료를 활용하여 회귀분석을 통한 매개효과 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 청소년활동 참여와 진로결정의 관계에서 학업성취 수준은 부분 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 청소년활동 참여는 진로결정에 직접적인 영향을 미치기도 하지만, 학업성취수준에 영향을 미치고 학업성취수준이 진로결정에 영향을 미친다. 중학생들의 청소년활동 참여 강화는 학업성취 수준을 향상시킬 수 있고, 긍정적 학업성취의 경험이 진로결정에 긍정적으로 작용할 수 있음을 발견하였다. 따라서 자유학기제를 통해 중학생들로 하여금 다양한 청소년활동 프로그램에 참여할 수 있도록 프로그램의 연구 및 개발과 환경조성이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 따라서 다양한 청소년활동 프로그램의 참여가 학업성취에 대한 동기부여로 작용할 수 있도록 청소년의 관심과 욕구에 반응하는 활동 프로그램의 개발과 운영이 이루어져야 함과 동시에, 다양한 청소년활동 프로그램이 자유학기제와 연계되어 프로그램 참여를 확대 강화할 수 있도록 청소년지도자와 교사들에게 교육과 연수를 제공하는 것이 필요하다.
