중·고등학생의 인터넷 사용이 학습태도에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of middle and high school students' Internet use on their learning attitude. In addition, this study tried to verify the extent to which Internet use affects learning attitude through the medium of self-control. Through this analysis and verification, it provides basic data to devise a plan to lead middle and high school students normally and correctly in their home and society surrounding them, centering on their school life, and to improve their use of the Internet at school, where they have to spend a long time. Its purpose is to create a research culture to develop programs that can be used safely.
 Method: This study was conducted on 316 students attending middle and high schools nationwide in February 2023. Among them, 1st year middle school students were excluded, and 2nd year middle school to 3rd year high school students were set. Respondents were 158 males and females, and the percentage of high school students was 40% (126) of middle school students and 60% (190) of high school students. They were surveyed using internet addiction test, self-control test, and learning attitude test questionnaire, and analyzed with a structural equation model based on the results obtained through a professional consulting agency.
 Results: All correlations between subvariables of latent variables, which are the main variables set in this study, were found to be significant. However, the finding that Internet use was not directly significant in learning attitude has its own reasons and significance. This is partly because there were more students in the upper middle than in the lower when the academic level of the students in the survey was divided into upper, middle and lower, and it was confirmed that the learning attitude itself did not change in a short period of time or was an acceptable part. On the other hand, when self-control was mediated, Internet use had a significant effect on learning attitude.
 Conclusion: In this study, middle and high school students' Internet use did not directly affect their learning attitude, but it was confirmed that when their self-control increased, it had a positive effect on their learning attitude. This is because middle and high school students' Internet use may not directly affect their learning attitude, but it can have a significant effect when other variables, such as self-control, are mediated. Administrative authorities' countermeasures, the development of educational programs acceptable to schools, and the creation of a curriculum and feasible conditions for improving self-control will be needed.
