본 연구는 과학고 학생을 대상으로 학업스트레스 대처훈련 프로그램을 개발하여 실시하고, 이 프로그램이 미치는 효과를 검증하는 데 그 목적을 두었다. 과학고 학생들의 학업스트레스 요인을 바탕으로 학업스트레스 대처훈련 프로그램 모형을 개발하였다. 프로그램의 실시는 B시에 위치한 B과학고의 1학년 중 학업스트레스가 가장 높은 두 반 40명을 대상으로 각각 20명씩 실험집단과 통제집단으로 무선 배정하여 회기당 50분씩 매주 1회 10회기로 진행되었고, B과학고 창의적 재량활동 시간을 사용하여 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 실험집단의 학업스트레스 점수는 통제집단보다 유의미하게 감소되었다. 둘째, 실험집단의 학업적 자기효능감 점수는 통제집단보다 유의미하게 향상되었다. 연구결과에 대한 논의와 시사점을 제시하였다.
The purpose of this study is to develop a study stress-coping Training program for science high school students and to examine the effects of the program. The goal of this treatment is to decrease study stress and to improve academic self-efficacy of science high school students. Study stress factors were identified from the interview and the constructs included in the study stress-coping training program were selected. A study stress-coping Training program was made which was composed of ten sessions and fifty minutes per week. A study stress-coping Training program was performed on two groups consisting of a total of 40 science high school students― 20 students in an experimental group and 20 students in a controlled group. The assessments used in this study were a study stress test and an academic self-efficacy test. The tests were given to each group before and after the training program. Results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the experimental group which participated in the study stress-coping Training program showed a significantly greater reduction in some of the subordinate factors of the study stressors such as expression, friend relationships, mentality, and career. Second, the experimental group showed a significantly greater improvement in academic self-efficacy than the control group. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions of forward study were described.
