Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigated the impact of reading therapy programs(classes) on the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and peer relationships of children in the lower grades of elementary school. The study was conducted at the B Public Library in A Metropolitan City, Korea. Eight elementary school students participated in the REBT reading therapy program for 12 sessions, each lasting 120 minutes, every Saturday. The research method was qualitative, and an observer was appointed to verify the qualitative research. The observer and the researcher qualitatively analyzed the participant's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral observation diaries and pre- and post-person-picture tests for each session. As a result of the study, the REBT reading therapy program was found to have a positive impact on the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes and formation of peer relationships of the children. The results of the study show the need for children and youth institutions, including public libraries, to develop and operate reading therapy programs for various groups.

본 연구의 목적은 독서치료 프로그램(수업)이 초등학교 저학년 아동의 인지•정서•행동 및 또래 관계에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 8명의 아동을 대상으로 총 12회에 걸쳐 공공도서관에서 합리적 정서행동치료(REBT) 독서치료 프로그램을 진행하였으며 독서치료 프로그램의 효과를 분석하였다. 사전 연구를 거쳐 독서치료 프로그램을 구안하였으며 회기별로 아동들의 인지•정서•행동 및 또래 관계를 관찰하였다. 프로그램 진행 후 아동이 사용한 언어와 정서 표현, 행동 관찰일지와 사전•사후 사람•그림을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 회기가 늘어날수록 초등학교 저학년 아동의 인지적 능력과 정서적 공감 능력이 향상되었으며 사소한 장난말, 놀림, 따돌림 등의 부정적 행동이 긍정적 행동으로 변화되었다. 이를 통해 REBT 독서치료 프로그램이 초등학교 저학년 아동의 인지, 정서, 행동 및 또래 관계에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 공공도서관에서 수행된 독서치료 프로그램은 소속된 학교가 다른 아동들의 또래 관계 형성에도 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과는 공공도서관을 포함한 어린이 청소년 기관이 다양한 집단을 대상으로 한 독서치료 프로그램을 개발하고 운영할 필요성을 보여준다.
