자기격려 집단상담 프로그램이 초등학교 저학년의 자아탄력성과 사회적 관심에 미치는 효과

초록

This study developed a self-encouragement group counseling program for children, and verified the effect on ego-resilience and social interest among lower elementary school students. Here, self-encouragement means choosing an action autonomously and feeling responsible for that choice, while encouraging themselves to feel courage and not comparing themselves to others. This study was conducted on 26 second-grade elementary school students in the province; the participants were randomly assigned to experimental (n=13) and control groups (n=13) in consideration of male-to-female ratio. 10 sessions of the self-encouragement group counseling program were conducted twice a week, for 40 minutes. A split-plot factorial design was utilized; a two-way repeated analysis of variance was conducted. A comparison of mean pre-post and follow-up scores of self-resilience and social interest scales between the control and experimental groups was performed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the self-encouragement group counseling is effective in promoting self-resilience and social interest in the lower elementary school students. This study is meaningful in that it empirically verified the usefulness and effectiveness of elementary group counseling programs by synthesizing the aspects of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral self-encouragement and systematically organizing various activities to help understand and practice self-encouragement.
