초등 사회과에서의 지속가능발전교육 프로그램이 세계시민의식에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in global citizenship after designing the ESD program and applying it to grade 6 elementary school students. To this end, a 9-session ESD program was designed after identifying the implication of social studies textbooks, and the program was applied to 1 class of grade 6 at E Elementary School in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. To begin with, a survey was conducted with questionnaires on global citizenship through a pre-test, and then, the 9-session program was applied, followed by a post-hoc test with the same questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0. In addition, the change in global citizenship was examined by collecting qualitative data through portfolio and interviews. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, it was found that the ESD program in elementary social studies had a positive effect on the improvement of global citizenship of students. Among 5 global citizenships, a statistically significant effect was found in interests in global issues (t=-2.337), intention to solve global disputes (t=-2.677) and global-oriented attitude (t=-2.586). Second, it was found that students consider the global community and make a decision based on the sustainability after applying the ESD program. That is, it can be considered that ESD has affected the formation of a global view of students. This study showed that ESD in elementary social studies has a positive effect on the improvement of global citizenship of students. In this context, more studies on the relationship between ESD and global citizenship need to be conducted. Furthermore, it is worth actively using the ESD program at schools in order to foster global citizenship.
