신체활동이 초등학생의 정서지능에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of physical activity on first grade elementary school students' emotional intelligence. For the purposes of the study, I surveyed 58 students from two first grade classes at the Y elementary school in Gyeonggido, Gimpo. The students were divided into two groups: the test group and comparative group. The test group had undergone a physical activity program and the other group had experienced the general school curriculum. The physical activity program was applied over 16 times for 8 weeks from March 2008 to May 2008. The test group had only undergone the physical activity program two times a week. The instrument used in this study was the Emotional Intelligence Checklist developed by Lee, Byung-Rae(1997), which measures a child's emotional intelligence. The effect of physical activity on an Elementary Student's Emotional Intelligence is a processed pre-test, its capability to self regulate is a processed post-test, as are other perceptions, and other regulations and their effect on interpersonal relations. Information about this study was processed by SPSS WIN13.0 Version to verify the research problem. The results of this study were as follows. (1) The class that performed physical activity were positively influenced in terms of self perception. (2) The class that performed physical activity were positively influenced in terms of self regulation. (3) The class that performed physical activity were positively influenced in terms of others' perceptions. (4) The class that performed physical activity were positively influenced in terms of other regulations.
