노인이해 통합프로그램이 초등학생의 노인에 대한 지식과 태도에 미치는 영향

Abstract

본 연구는 초등학교 6학년 학생을 대상으로 ‘노인이해 통합프로그램’을 적용하여 이 프로그램이 노인에 대한 태도와 지식에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 실시한 비동등성 대조군 사전·사후 설계를 사용한 유사 실험 연구이다. 연구 대상은 경기도 김포시에 소재한 S초등학교의 6학년 남·여 학생 105명 중 본 연구의 취지에 동의하고 설문지에 성실히 답한 실험군 45명, 대조군 43명으로 선정 하였다. 자료 수집은 2015년 6월 29일부터 7월 12일 까지 14일간 진행하였다. 프로그램 적용은 실험군 학생들에게만 40분의 교육이 1주일 간격으로 2번 이루어졌으며 프로그램 적용 전, 프로그램 적용 후 노인에 대한 지식 및 태도에 대한 설문조사를 2회 실시하였다. 대조군 학생들에게는 프로그램을 적용하지 않았으며, 실험군 학생들의 프로그램 적용 전, 실험군 학생들의 프로그램 적용 후 동일한 시기에 노인에 대한 지식 및 태도에 대한 설문조사를 2회 실시 하였다. 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS WIN 18.0 프로그램을 이용하였고, 카이제곱 검정, 독립표본 t-test, 대응표본 t-test를 사용하여 분석하였다.

연구결과에서 노인이해통합프로그램은 두 집단 사이의 노인에 대한 지식과 태도에 영향을 미치지는 못하였으나 프로그램에 참여한 실험군을 대상으로 하였을 때, 프로그램 적용 전과 후에 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 학생들에게 노인에 대한 부정적인 편견을 와해시키고 노인에 대한 올바른 인식을 함양하는데 필요한 프로그램임인 것으로 사료된다.| This research study is a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design quasi-experiment group study conducted against 6th grade elementary school students that applies an ‘integrated program on the understanding of elderly people’ with the objective of examining the effect that this program has on the attitude towards and knowledge of students regarding elderly people. The test was conducted against a total of 105 male and female students from the S elementary school located in Gimpo city in Gyeonggi that agreed to the terms of this research and 45 surveys that had been satisfactorily filled out by students in the experiment group and 43 surveys that had been satisfactorily filled out by students in the control group were selected for analysis. Data was collected for 14 days from June 29th of 2015 to July 12th. The program designed in this research was provided exclusively to students in the experiment group in two weekly 40 minute sessions, and a survey examining the attitude towards and knowledge level on elderly people was conducted once before, and once after the program was provided. The program was not provided to children in the control group, while the same two surveys examining the attitude and knowledge level on elderly people were conducted on the children in the experiment group at the same times they were conducted on the children in the control group. SPSS WIN 18.0 was used as the analysis tool in this research using the Chi-square test, independent-sample t-test, and paired t-test methods.

While the integrated program on the understanding of elderly people did not have a significant influence between the two groups on the knowledge level on and attitude towards elderly people by elementary school children, because the results did confirm that the program had a positive effect on the experiment group that participated in the program when comparing results for before and after the program was provided, this program is considered to be necessary to address the negative prejudices of elementary school students towards elderly people and to foster proper recognition of and attitude towards elderly people by elementary school students.; This research study is a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design quasi-experiment group study conducted against 6th grade elementary school students that applies an ‘integrated program on the understanding of elderly people’ with the objective of examining the effect that this program has on the attitude towards and knowledge of students regarding elderly people.
