초등학생이 지각하는 사회적지지가 학업무기력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Objectives The chief purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the academic helplessness of elementary school students by focusing on the variables related to social support perceived by them. Methods To analyze the research question, the missing values were considered from the ｢Korean Children and Youth panel Survey 2018｣ third-year data(2020) for the panel of the elementary school 4th grade. Finally, a correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on the subjects of 490 students in the 6th grade. Results First, grit, parents’ autonomous support, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on the academic helplessness of elementary school students. Specifically, it was derived that grit, parents’ autonomous support, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on the sub factors of academic helplessness, deficient locus of control and lack of academic motives; grit and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on lack of positive emotions; gender, grit, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on lack of active performance. As a result of analyzing the factors that influence academic helplessness according to the gender of elementary school students, grit and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on academic helplessness and the four sub factors of academic helplessness for the female student group. On the contrary, grit, parents’ autonomous support, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on academic helplessness for the male student group. Grit and parents’ autonomous support had statistically significant effects on deficient locus of control; grit and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on lack of positive emotions; and grit on lack of academic motives and active performance. Conclusions This study holds significance in exploring the variables that influence academic helplessness of elementary school students around social support and suggesting future research directions and implications of academic helplessness.
