Abstract

본 연구의 목적은 저소득가정 아동과 일반가정 아동간에 학교준비도가 차이가 있는지를 살펴보는 것이다. 특히 저소득가정 아동은 취약계층을 위한 교육지원사업인 드림스타트 참여 유무에 따라 학교준비도에 차이가 나타나는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 그리고 아동의 연령과 성별에 따라 학교준비도에 차이가 나타나는지를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 만 4세, 만 5세 아동 184명을 대상으로 하여 학교준비도를 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계, t검증, 일원변량분석, 이원변량분석, Scheff<TEX>$\acute{e} $</TEX> 검증을 실시하여 분석하였다. 자료분석 결과, 학교준비도는 아동의 연령과 성별에 따른 상호작용효과가 나타났으며, 일반가정 아동의 학교준비도 수준이 저소득가정 아동보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 저소득가정 아동 중에서 드림스타트 참여유무에 따라서는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 경제적으로 어려움이 있는 가정의 취학 전 아동이 학교준비도를 잘 갖출 수 있도록 적극적인 관심과 지원의 중요성을 강조하였다. The purpose of this study was to compare the school readiness between children in low-income families and children in non-low-income families. In particular, it examined the influence of family's income levels child's age and gender upon children's school readiness. The subjects were 184 children that were 4~5 years. The collected data were analysed using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, and Scheffe test. The results showed that the school readiness of children from non-low-income families's was higher than children from low-income families. The school readiness was explained significantly by the interaction effect of children's age and gender. However, there was no difference in children's school readiness according to the participation in Dream Start. The findings suggest that the level of income is the key factor in differences of children's school readiness. Finally, the importance of social support of low-income children and development of effective Dream Start programs was discussed.
