중학생의 진로체험이 자율적 학습동기와 자기주도학습에 미치는 영향: 진로개발역량의 매개효과

A study on the Effect of Middle School Students’ Career Experience on Self-controlling Learning Motivation and Self-directed Learning: Mediating Effect of Career Development Competency

이 연구의 목적은 중학생의 진로체험이 진로개발역량에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 진로개발역량이 자율적 학습동기와 자기주도학습에 미치는 영향을 확인하는데 있었다. 이 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 한국직업능력연구원의 2020년 ‘초·중등 진로교육 현황조사’ 중 중학생의 데이터를 활용하여 분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중학생의 진로체험은 자율적 학습동기에 직접적인 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중학생의 진로체험은 진로개발역량에 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 중학생의 진로체험은 자기주도학습에 직접적인 유의미한 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 중학생의 진로체험은 자율적 학습동기, 자기주도학습에 직접적으로 미치는 영향보다 진로개발역량을 매개로한 간접효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 중학생의 학습동기와 자기주도학습 수준을 높이기 위한 진로체험 운영에 대한 이론적 시사점을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of middle school students career experience on their career development competency, and to find the effect of career development competency on self-controlling learning motivation and self-directed learning. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the data of middle and middle school students in the ‘2020 Elementary and Secondary Career Education Survey of the KRIVET was analyzed. The main research results were as follows. First, the career experience of middle school students had a direct influence on their self-controlling learning motivation. Second, it was found that middle school students career experiences had a direct positive effect on their career development competency. Third, it was found that the career experiences of middle school students had no direct significant effect on self-directed learning. Fourth, the career experience of middle school students had a greater indirect effect through career development competency than the direct effect on self-controlling learning motivation and self-directed learning. Based on the results of this study, theoretical implications to increase the level of middle school students’ the learning motivation and self-directed learning were suggested.
