초등학생의 도덕의식수준과 경제이해력과의 관계분석 -수도권과 비수도권을 중심으로- = An Analysis of the Relationship between Elementary School Students` Level of Morality and Their Understandings of Economics -Centered around the Capital Area as Well as the Non-Capital Regions-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We have performed a survey on 6th graders in elementary schools over their level of morality (desire to keep the rules, ideas over politeness, and ideas over environmental protection) and their understandings of economics simultaneously on students living in the capital area and the non-capital regions. We then proceeded to analyze what kind of relationship existed between their levels of morality and their understandings of economics, and also assessed whether there were any difference between students who lived in the capital area and their counterparts living in the non-capital regions. As a result of the analysis, first, we accepted the sub-hypothesis that the desire to keep the rules and cooperate will have a positive influence on their level of morality. Second, we accepted the sub-hypothesis that their ideas over politeness will have a positive influence on their level of morality. Third, we also accepted the sub-hypothesis that the ideas over environmental protection will have a positive influence on their levels of morality. Based on our test over the overarching hypothesis set to analyze whether such levels of morality influenced their understandings of economics, we also accepted the hypothesis that the levels of morality had a positive influence on their understandings of economics. Therefore, it was concluded that the higher the student`s level of morality, the better their understanding of economics. However, there was no impact from regional identification between the capital area and the non-capital regions, and the hypothesis over existence of such impact was rejected.
