초등학생의 집행기능이 진로성숙도에 미치는 영향 분석

Abstract

Objectives The main purpose of this study is to analyze the variables that affect the career maturity of elementary school students, focusing on executive function.
 Methods Using data from the 13th year of the Panel Study on Korean Children, analysis of variance and regression analysis was performed.
 Results Summarizing the results of the analysis by student characteristics, the average career maturity of girls was statistically significantly higher than the average career maturity of boys in relation to student gender. In the case of the size of students' residences, the average career maturity of students was higher in the order of township area, large city, and small and medium-sized city, but only the difference between the career maturity of students living in large cities and the career maturity of students living in small and medium-sized cities was statistically significant. For each socioeconomic status group, higher socioeconomic status was associated with higher mean career maturity of students, but there was a statistically significant difference in career maturity among primary school students between groups when the socioeconomic status was lower and upper and the socioeconomic status was between the middle and upper levels. Summarizing the results of the regression analysis, the gender of the students, difficulty in planning and organizing, parental achievement pressure, and the number of students per class had a statistically significant negative effect on the career maturity of elementary school students. On the other hand, variables such as student grit and student participation in club activities had a statistically significant and static effect on elementary school students' career maturity.
 Conclusions Based on the results of the study, policy proposals and follow-up research were made to improve the career maturity of elementary school students and revitalize career education.
