Abstract

Objectives In this study, the purpose of this study was to identify the difference between school adaptation and self-directed learning ability according to the background variables of counseling experience(counseling location, type of counselor, perception of counseling experience) and counseling experience in the relationship between the counseling experience, school adaptation, and self-directed learning ability of elementary school students.
 Methods A fact-finding survey on the background of general counseling experience, school adaptability (Jo Soo-jeong, 2014), and self-directed learning ability test (Lee Kyung-hwa, Kim Soo-yeon, 2018) were conducted on 3rd to 6th graders (208 students) of elementary school students. Descriptive statistics, two independent samples t-test, and ANOVA methods were used for SPSS 25.0 program statistical processing.
 Results First, the counseling experience of elementary school students was related to school adaptation (study attitude and rule observance), but was not related to self-directed learning ability. Second, there were differences in some sub-factors of school adaptation and self-directed learning ability according to the background variable of counseling experience. Third, there was a difference in school adaptation according to grade level, and there was a high correlation between school adaptation and self-directed learning ability.
 Conclusions Through this study, the relationship between the counseling experience of elementary school students, school adaptation, and self-directed learning ability was confirmed. In addition, it was found that school counseling (teacher, counseling room of school) is an important variable in elementary school students' school adjustment and self-directed learning ability among the general counseling inside and outside school. Therefore, this study is meaningful in that it provided some implications to the school field and related parties regarding counseling for elementary school students.
