초록

본 연구는 알파세대에 해당하는 초등학생들의 일상생활에서의 정보추구행태를 이해하는 것을 목적으로 초등학교 4~6학년 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 일상생활에서의 정보요구, 정보요구 해결을 위해 사용하는 정보원과 선택 이유, 정보탐색 과정에서 느끼는 어려움, 획득한 정보에 대한 만족도 및 신뢰성 등을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 알파세대 초등학생들은 동영상 플랫폼을 가장 많이 활용하였으며 취미와 여가에 관한 정보요구가 가장 많았다. 이들이 정보원을 선택하는 이유로는 친근성과 편리성이 가장 주된 이유로 나타났다. 인구통계학적 특성과 미디어 리터러시 교육 여부에 따른 차이도 분석하였다. 학년, 거주지역, 형제자매 유무에 따른 뚜렷한 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 성별에 따른 정보추구행태에 있어서만 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 미디어 리터러시 교육을 받은 경험이 있는 학생은 그렇지 않은 학생보다 정보획득 과정에서 어려움을 더 적게 겪는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 학교 현장에서의 알파세대를 위한 정보서비스 방안과 이들을 위한 미디어 리터러시 교육의 방향성 수립에 도움을 줄 수 있는 자료가 될 것이라 기대된다.

This study aims to understand the everyday information-seeking behaviors of Alpha-generation elementary school students. A survey was conducted among 4th to 6th grade students to investigate their information needs in daily life, the sources they use to fulfill these needs and the reasons for their choices, the barriers they encounter during the information search process, and their satisfaction and trust in the information obtained. The results indicate that Alpha generation elementary students most frequently use video platforms and have the highest information needs related to hobbies and leisure activities. The main reasons for choosing information sources were familiarity and convenience. Differences based on demographic characteristics and media literacy education were also analyzed. There were significant differences in information-seeking behavior based on gender. Also, students who had received media literacy education experienced fewer difficulties in the information acquisition process compared to those who had not. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable data for developing information services and media literacy education directions for the Alpha generation in school settings.
