초등학생의 포크댄스 참여가 대인관계에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The study, focused on clarifying the relationship between folkdance and interpersonal relationship, aimed to investigate the influence of elementary school students’ participation in folkdance on interpersonal relationship. The data was carried out pre-and post-tests using a questionnaire after verifying its reliability and validity with 63 male and female 5th graders in elementary school. As a result, it has appeared that the experimental and control groups were homogeneous with no significant differences (p>.05) on the basis of the pre-test between them, whereas the two groups showed significant differences in the entire interpersonal relationship and satisfaction with it, communication, friendliness, openness, and understandability factors (p<.05). On the other hand, as for the differences of changes between the pre-and post-tests, the experimental group showed significant differences in the entire interpersonal relationship, and satisfaction, communication, friendliness, openness, and understandability factors (p<.05), while the control group revealed no significant differences in the entire interpersonal relationship as well as the 7 sub-factors (p>.05). And, there was no meaningful differences in interpersonal relationship by genders (p.>.05). To recapitulate the results of the study, regardless of gender distinction, it has appeared that folkdance has effects on the development of elementary school students’ interpersonal relationship.
