Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the mediating effect of grit in the relationship between academic achievement satisfaction and academic helplessness of middle school students. To this end, a survey was conducted on 575 middle school students in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, on academic achievement satisfaction, academic helplessness, and grit. This research was carried out by hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to understand the correlation analysis and mediating effect between major variables, and verified by Sobel test. As a result of the study, First, correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between academic achievement satisfaction, grit, and academic helplessness. Second, regression analysis showed that both perseverance of effort and consistency of interest were partially mediated between academic achievement satisfaction and academic helplessness. This means that academic achievement satisfaction not only directly affects middle school students' academic helplessness, but also has an indirect effect through grit. Finally, a learning counseling plans (Self-analysis program and Environmental control program) was discussed to reduce the academic helplessness of middle school students.

본 연구의 목적은 중학생의 학업성취만족도와 학업무기력간의 관계에서 그릿의 매개효과를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 경상남도 창원시 소재의 중학생 575명을 대상으로 학업성취만족도, 학업무기력, 그릿에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구분석은 주요변인들 간의 상관관계를 분석하고, 그릿의 매개효과를 파악하기 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하고 Sobel test로 검증하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 상관분석 결과 학업성취만족도와 그릿 및 학업무기력은 정적 상관관계를 나타내었다. 둘째, 회귀분석 결과 학업성취만족도와 학업무기력사이에서 흥미유지와 노력지속은 모두 부분매개하였다. 이는 학업성취만족도가 중학생의 학업무기력에 직접적인 영향을 주고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 그릿을 통해 간접적인 영향이 있음을 의미한다. 끝으로 중학생의 학업무기력을 줄이기 위한 자기분석프로그램과 환경조절프로그램 등의 학습상담의 방안을 논의하였다.
