학생의 인권의식에 대한 영향 요인 탐색

Abstract

The study seeks to explore factors affecting the human rights consciousness of elementary, middle, and high school students. The data used in the analysis were responses from about 14,000 students for the "2019 Gyeonggi-do Student Human Rights Survey." A hierarchical regression analysis was also conducted according to school level and gender. According to the analysis, major factors affecting students' consciousness of human rights were found to be environmental factors such as school life satisfaction, guarantees of students' participation in schools, and recognition of student human rights ordinances. We believe this is because the "context" on the school environment affects students' sense of human rights more than their personal experience. In addition, conditions of student council activities and the recognition of minority students' rights were also identified as factors that have positive effects. An interesting result is that the experience of corporal punishment and verbal abuse also has positive effects. This can be attributed to increased interest in human rights when students have been physically punished at school or have heard insulting remarks from teachers. These results suggest that creating a psychological environment in schools so that students can positively recognize their human rights by feeling respected and cared for by school members through school life increases students' satisfaction with school life and their consciousness of human rights. Therefore, it is more important than anything else to create a human rights-friendly school environment.
