아동청소년의 학업무기력 발달궤적 및 예측변인의 효과 분석

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the longitudinal developmental trajectory of academic helplessness in children and youth to identify the predictive effects of variables that affect it. Methods To this end, we used a latent growth modeling(LGM) to analyze the data of 2,384 children and youth who responded to all the research variables among the data from the first year (2018) to the third year (2020) of the Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey 2018. Specifically, after analyzing the developmental trajectory of academic helplessness over the three time points, the predictive effect was analyzed with a structural equation modeling in which gender, self-esteem, life satisfaction, positive and negative parenting attitudes, academic achievement, and achievement satisfaction were input as predictive variables, and the initial value and rate of change of academic helplessness were set as reference variables. Results As a result of examining the latent growth modeling of academic helplessness, the second-year change model showed the best fit. In addition, all variables input as predictive variables significantly predicted the initial value of academic helplessness, while self-esteem, positive and negative parenting attitudes, and academic achievement showed significant predictive effects on the rate of change. Conclusions After discussing the results of this study in relation to previous studies, theoretical and practical implications were drawn.
