保護觀察 청소년의 學校生活 適應을 위한 解決중심 集團 프로그램의 효과성 硏究

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to help adolescents maladjusting to their school life better adjust, by implementing group counseling program on the basis of solution focused approach. For this study, 40 participants, under the probation from the S Probation Center in Seoul, were randomly assigned to an experimental group and to a control group. The experimental group received 8 sessions of the solution focused program. The analysis of the group intervention was to compare two groups before and after the intervention regarding the participants' self-esteem, peer relationship, relationship with their teachers, and family relationship. With this objective data analysis, the observations of the group's activities and memo of recording program activities were used. The results of the study were summarized as follows. First, the scores of self-esteem, peer relationship and family relationship were increased. This showed that the adolescents' positive feedback with peers and their families was effective in changing the participants. Second, the scores of relationship with teachers were not statistically significant, indicating that the mutual interactions between the participants and their teachers were not satisfactory. Further, the program lacked the elements of improving the interactive relationship between them. Third, as the session of the program continued to be implemented, until the third session, there were a little changes in evaluation scores of self-assessment by the participants. However, from the fourth session, there was remarkable increase in the scores of mutual recognition, encouragement, support, self-development, and self-changes. Accordingly, based upon the result of this study, the group program turned to be meaningfully effective in increasing the adjustment to school life.
