초등학생의 불안과 별-파도 그림 반응 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between elementary school students' anxiety and response to star-wave Test(SWT), and thus evaluate the star-wave Test(SWT) effectiveness as a tool to measure the degree of anxiety. Subjects were 258 5th and 6th grade students currently attending three elementary schools in Daegu, South Korea. Data were collected from February 4th, 2010 till February 11th, 2010. Measurement tools included personal environmental-cause questionnaire, SAIC, and SWT. The data were computed for the frequency, percentages, Cross-analysis on SPSS WIN(version 12.0). The results of this research are the following: First, evaluating the characteristic responses revealed that most subjects' drawing style was pictoral style (38.4%), most subjects' overall spacial organization was incongruous (65.5%), most subjects' vertical organization showed emphasis on space between the sky and the sea(31.0%), and most subjects' horizontal organization displayed combined emphasis (43.8%). As for most subjects' depictions of waves, most subjects' dynamic wave depictions were full of movement (95.3%), most subjects' non- dynamic wave depictions were unstable (56.4%), and other aspects of wave depictions were continuous (62.6%). Also, most subjects' star depictions were fixed for dynamic depictions (92.1%), stable for non- dynamic depictions (54.2%), and continuous for other star drawings (72.5%). The number of stars that most subjects drew were less than 10 (65.9%), and stars were drawn in all areas (76.3%). In addition, in most cases subjects didn't draw beaches, coastlines, rocks, islands, cliffs, lighthouses, thunderstorms, thunder or lightening, whereas most drew the moon and ships, and the overall drawing method was mostly continuous (50.0%). Second, comparison of characteristic responses to star-wave pictures between the anxious group and the non-anxious group revealed significant differences in six areas including style, overall organizational structure, vertical structure, beaches and coastlines, thunder and lightening, and overall drawing method.
