초등학생의 자아개념과 진로 자기효능감의 관계

The Relationship of the Self-concept and the Career Self-efficacy in Elementary School Students

본 연구의 목적은 성별 및 학년에 따른 초등학생의 자아개념과 진로 자기효능감을 분석하고 두 변인 간의 관계를 구명하는데 있다. 전국 17개 시·도 지역 중 5개 지역(인천, 대전, 세종, 충북, 충남)의 초등학교 5~6학년 학생 454명을 임의로 표집하였다. 본 연구에 활용된 설문지의 통계처리는 SPSS 21 프로그램을 활용하였다. 통계방법은 t-test, F-test, 피어슨의 상관관계분석 등을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 성별과 학년에 따라 자아개념과 진로 자기효능감은 유의미한 차이를 보이며, 초등학생의 자아개념과 진로 자기효능감은 정적인 상관관계가 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 초등학생의 진로 자기효능감을 높이기 위해서는 진로 교육에서 긍정적인 자아개념 형성을 돕는 프로그램을 도입할 필요가 있다. 나아가 현재 초등학생의 진로 자기효능감 측정 도구에 관한 연구가 미비하므로 이와 관련된 연구가 더욱 요구된다.
