The adolescence is the transition period from childhood to adult in human development stage. Individually, there are the internal changes for the emotional, psychological and physical area to the adolescent and also he(she) should carry out the expected social role in the society at this period.
But nowadays, the number of the teenagers are increasing who fail to accomplish the expected roles for them at their stage and can not adapt to the school life that they wander the street aimlessly or even give up entering upper school. Also the number of adolescents are increasing who live in seclusion as an outsider escaping from the reality and from the burden of the role they are expected to carry out in the society.
In this situation, it is requested for the teenagers to improve their activity capability to sustain the active self-leading life basd on their capability.
The objective of this study is to research the influence of the 'Participation to the Rise up Planning School(RPS) Conference' to the improvement of teenager's activity capability.
I made a statistical research with the 400 selected at random among the 1,200 surveyees who participated the RPS conferences held in Seoul, Gyunggi(Suwon,Ilsan, Sungnam, Bucheon, Euijeongbu), Ulsan and Jeju isalnd during last July and August. I used 388 survey result in this research among the 400 excluding the unfaithful responses to the survey. The 388 is composed of 176(45.4%) males and 212 (54.6%) females.
The capability measurement tool used for this research is the "teenager activity capability test" developed by Kwon, Ilnam(2009) to assess the teenager activity capability.
In this study, I used SPSS to analize the selected data and the program efficiency by carrying out the frequency analysis, t-test, and One-way ANOVA.
With the result of the research, I could find out that the 'participation of the RPS conference brought to the teenagers who participated to the conference the overall and balanced growth in the area that self identity capability, physical capability, problem solving capability, achievement motive capability, relationship capability, leadership capability and citizenship capability which are considered as the main teenager activity capability.
And it is eminent from the research that the RPS conference participants are most significantly influenced in the self identity perspective and achievement motive perspective.
Through the 3days conference, the self identify capability and the achievement motive capability have been improved for the participants that they could have stable will for life and distinct purpose consciousness for life together with strengthened sense of self-efficacy. And also the participants could have the will for the change (of the society ) by having the critical mind on the social issues with the improved citizenship capability through the conference.
