Abstract

This study attempted to study the response characteristics through the KSD picture of elementary school students, focusing on multicultural children and general children. The participants were 130 multicultural children and 130 general children in elementary schools located in Busan. As for the research data, paintings were collected with the help of cultural students and elementary school counselors and teachers in charge of the researcher's training course between 2012 and 2019, and additional recruitment was collected in 2020. As for the measurement tool, the satisfaction of school life and adaptation with friends were examined through KSD, a diagnostic tool for art therapy. As a result of this study, first, multicultural children expressed "sadiology", "non-academic", and "physiology" more than general children, and multicultural boys showed higher self-image than girls, and general girls showed the most interaction with "self-love". Second, as for the response characteristics of the questionnaire, general female children had the highest satisfaction with their teachers in school, and multicultural male children had the lowest. Third, as a result of comparing and analyzing the school life of multicultural children and general children, general female children had the highest satisfaction and general male children had the highest relationship with friends. Therefore, general male and female children had higher overall satisfaction than multicultural male and female children. As a result of this study, it is meaningful that KSD is a useful tool to identify children's adaptation and psychological problems from school life, and it will be a reference guide for teachers. Based on the above conclusions, research on standards that can objectively analyze and compare comparisons according to the development stage of each grade will be needed.
