아동이 지각한 부모 양육태도와 아동의 자기주도 학습력과의 관계 = Relationships between childrens perception of parents parenting style and their self- directed learning readiness: The case of Korean primary school children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study intends to investigate the relationship between childrens perception of parents parenting style and their self-directed learning readiness among a sample of Korean grade school children. It is considered important while identifying family variables as related to their self-directed learning readiness(Long and the Cheongs1998). Althoug this study failed to identify family and attitude (toward parent and others) variables, another similar study on Korean junior high school boys could find out their related variables such as their birth order, their attitude toward parents and friends/school life (Cheong & Long,1999). This study would somehow explain why the former study could not identify any related family vairiables.
The objectives of this study are three-fold: 1) to identify whether or not there is any difference in their self-directed learning readiness according to their grades in the primary school; 2) to clarify the gender difference in their SDL readiness; and 3) to investigate the relationship between their perception of parents attitude toward parenting and their readiness for self-directed leaning. The Korean version scale measuring their readiness for self-directed learning is developed on the basis of Guglieminos SDLRS(58 items) and the Schaefers parenting style model (30 items) is adopted for this study after slight modification fit to Korean culture.
A total of 483 grade school pupils (grade 4 6) are sampled through cluster/area and systematic sampling method from four primary schools in Seoul located in differently stratified areas. The questionnaires are filled up and collected in assistance of sampled school/class teachers. The data are quantitatively analyzed by SPSS-WIN (9.0 version), adapting t-test, ANOVA, multiple-regression and other statistical methods.
The results of this study is summarized as follows:
1. The age and grade difference are not significantly related to the level of self-directed learning readiness of Korean children. But the average SDLRS scores of grade 4, 5, and 6 are 204.6, 202. 8 and 195.4, respectively, revealing that as getting upper grades, their self-directed learning readiness tends to be weaker. If this proves true, it gives some warning that the primary schools in Seoul make the pupils to be more other-directed.
2. Like other studies, the gender does not cause any significant difference in self-directed learning readiness, even though the girls SDLRS (203.8) is slightly higher than the boys (198.5).
3. Among many variables, it is found that the childrens perception of their parents parenting style is very important factor determining and explanining their self-directed learning readiness. In all three styles of parenting (love/hostility, autonomy/control & achievement/non-achievement), childrens perception of their parents parenting appeared to be closely related to their SDL readiness scores. Particularly, the childrens perception of their parents parenting style as encouraging achievement and their mothers care with love are two most crucial variables determining their childrens self-directed learning readiness.
