긍정적 언어 사용 프로그램이 중학생의 자아개념에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is designed to examine the effects of Positive Language Use Program on the development of middle school students' self-conception. It has been found that the negative language use of middle school students arouses corresponding sentiments in them. Since psychological troubles such as low self-esteem, low academic motivation, interpersonal conflicts can be led to more serious personal and interpersonal problems, it is imperative that students be helped build self-esteem and confidence by encouraging them to use positive language use in everyday life.
The participants include a group of 20 students in the control group and another 20 in the target group. The Positive Language Use Program was executed for the target group while no treatment was given for the former group. The Positive Language Use Program was slightly revised to be suitable for the participants' age and cognitive levels. The program was executed a total of 10 times throughout the study.
The measurements used in this study were the ones that were originally devised by Song (1983), and later re-modulated in order to study the development of teens' self-conception (Lim, 1987, Han, 1992, Song, 2002). SPSS 17.0 and two-way ANOVA were used to attain differences in the pre-test and after-test results between the two groups.
The results are as follows: first, before the experiments, there were little significant differences in the level of self-conception between the control and target groups. However, it is found that after the execution of the program, the overall scores of the target group were higher than those of the control group. Second, while there were significant differences in a sense of self-accomplishment and academic motivation between the two groups after the experiments, there were little differences in their general interpersonal relations including family, peers and teachers, and their confidence in physical abilities.
This study is limited in that the period of the experiment, a total of 10 rounds, was rather short to find out any significant implications of the effectiveness of the program on middle school students. However, it has contributed to the field of study in that it is one of the pioneering studies of this kind; during the experiments, the general classroom atmosphere and the students' attitude toward class showed positive improvements; the results have a great deal of pedagogical implications for instructing middle school students.
