On this study, the views of justifying to restrict the children’s rights of participation have been critically examined and it has been investigated how they exercise their rights of participation in the family circumstances.
The sampling subjects for the research were a total of 430 pupils(male 225, female 205) in the 5th grade of primary schools in Seoul, Daejeon, Sungnam and Tongyoung.
The instrument for participation consists in three domains, self-related, family members-related, activity-related participation in the family circumstances. The instrument measuring for self-concept recomposed by the researcher consists in four domains, i.e., cognitive, social, psycho-motor and affective domains.
The results of the study are shown as follows;
Firstly, the significant results have been found as follows:the high scores about the rate of participation rank by male children rather than female children, those in metropolitan rather than other areas, and so on.
Secondly, the socal self-concept is statistically significant variable for all subjects and all sub-domains of participation. With regard to the relationship self-concept and participation it shows statistically significant difference in accordance with children’s gender. Only for male, the affective self-concept has effect on family members-related participation. Only for female, the psycho-motor self-concept has an effect on self-related participation.
