Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of children’ approach to learning, externalizing problems and disconnection on academic skills. This study used 7th data from the Korean Children’s Panel, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed to analyze influence of variables. Research results were as follows. First, approach to learning, externalizing problems and disconnection of children were found to affect academic skill, and approach to learning showed the highest explanatory power. When looking at the effect of the sub-factors of externalizing problems(attention problem, aggressive behavior) on academic skill, the attention problem had the greatest explanatory power. Second, looking at the effect of the sub-factors of externalizing problems(attention problem, aggressive behavior) on the sub-factors of academic skill(language and literacy, mathematical thinking), only the attention problem among the sub-factors of externalizing problems affected language and literacy. Next, among the sub-factors of externalizing problem behavior, only the attention problem affected mathematical thinking. This study aims to provide educational implications for the development of basic learning skills for young children’ adaptation to elementary school by identifying factors that affect children’s academic skill.
