이 연구는 재량활동 시간을 활용한 의생활교육 프로그램이 초등학생의 의생활 태도에 미치는 효과를 검증하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 연구자가 구안한 의생활교육 프로그램을 실험집단에 재량활동 시간을 활용하여 2008년 9월 1주부터 10월 5주까지 약 9주간에 걸쳐 적용하였으며, 비교집단에는 의생활교육 프로그램을 적용하지 않았다. 실험 설계는 전후-좌우 비교형 연구 설계 방법을 이용하여 적용 후의 효과를 분석하였다. 두 집단 간에는 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타나 두 집단의 동질성을 확인하였다. 실험 결과 검증을 위해, t-검증을 실시하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같았다.
첫째, 의생활교육 프로그램을 적용한 실험집단과 비교집단의 좌우 의생활 태도 점수를 검증 한 결과 의생활 태도의 의복 흥미성, 의복 만족성, 의복 관리성, 의복 자립성 영역에서 모두 5% 수준에서 의미 있는 차이가 나타나 의생활 태도 향상에 긍정적인 효과를 미친다는 것이 검증되었다.
둘째, 의생활교육 프로그램을 적용한 실험집단의 전후 의생활 태도 점수를 검증한 결과 의생활 태도의 의복 흥미성, 의복 만족성, 의복 관리성, 의복 자립성 영역에서 모두 5% 수준에서 의미 있는 차이가 나타나 의생활 태도 향상에 긍정적인 효과를 미친다는 것이 검증되었다.
셋째, 의생활교육 프로그램의 적용과 함께 실시한 실습활동에 대한 자기평가 후 느낀 점 쓰기, 의생활 실천 자기평가지, 일기장, 학교 홈페이지에 탑재한 소감문 등을 분석한 결과 의생활에 대한 관심 및 실천 의지가 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.
넷째, 의생활교육 프로그램 적용 후 학생들의 행동을 분석한 결과, 의생활에 대한 올바른 인식을 갖고 학생 스스로 주변에서 실천 가능한 합리적인 의생활 행동을 실천하는 모습을 관찰할 수 있었다.
다섯째, 의생활교육 프로그램이 학생들의 인식변화와 행동변화에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
This research has been studied to prove if the clothing education program during discretional activity class effects on the clothing attitude of elementary school students. In order to verify the effect, we assume the null hypothesis, there is a no difference all directions(before and after, right and left), between clothing attitude achievement grades of the experimental group and the control group by designing the clothing education program for discretionary activity class of elementary schools.
Two fifth grade classes from ‘S’ elementary school located in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, were selected as an experimental group and control group for the research.
The clothing education program has been applied to the experimental group for discretional activity class for nine weeks, from the first week of September 2008 to the fifth week of October 2008, and it has not been applied to the control group. The effect after application of the program has been analyzed by using the all-direction (before and after, right and left) comparing experimental design method.
The result from the study is as followings.
First, the null hypothesis has been rejected because there was significant difference at 5% on all of clothing interest of clothing attitude, clothing independence, clothing satisfaction, and clothing managing level, resulting from verifying the left-right difference between clothing attitude of the experimental group and of the control group. Therefore, it is proved that clothing education program effects positively on the improvement of clothing attitude of the experimental group.
Second, the null hypothesis has been rejected because there was significant difference at 5% on all of clothing interest of clothing attitude, clothing independence, clothing satisfaction, and clothing managing level, resulting from verifying the before-after difference between clothing attitude of the experimental group and of the control group. Therefore, it is proved that clothing education program effects positively on the improvement of clothing attitude of the experimental group.
Third, we could confirm that students’ interests and practice will about clothing habits, from the analysis of their essays, clothing practice self-reports, journals, descriptions on school homepage after self-valuation following to clothing education program.
Fourth, we could observe, from the analysis result of students’ behavior after applying the clothing education program, students have proper clothing attitudes and they practice feasible and reasonable clothing habits by themselves.
Fifth, students were also asked if something has changed after taking clothing education program. They said, they get interested in clothing even though they did not before, and they realized they could handle their behavior based on their own clothing habits which they used to depend on their parents before. Also, we found that, from the students’ answers, they should make efforts by themselves to have proper clothing attitude, clothing education program effects positively on students’recognition and behavior change.
