The purposes of this study were to investigate learner’s perception in terms of affective characteristics (individual interest, confidence, students’ valuing) for 10 subjects (Korean, ethics, social, music, practical, math, art, science, physical, english) and to analyze the relative positions of 10 subjects on the positioning map through similarities of learner’s affective characteristics.
For this study, a survey was conducted by fifth and sixth grade elementary school students from seven elementary schools located in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Chungcheongnam-do. The survey used to measure affective characteristic for 10 subjects. Total 349 surveys were handed out and collected, but 318 of them with honest answers were only used for this research.
As means for this study, first, the frequencies and percentages were calculated to understand the basic characteristics of the study, and reliabilities of each measure were computed. Second, Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to identify the relationships between individual interest, confidence, students’ valuing. Third, this study conducted statistical analysis including T-test in the gender and ANOVA in the perceived academic achievement to verify the difference on affective characteristics. Fourth, it also conducted positioning analysis using multidimensional scaling to explore relationship between 10 subjects.
This Study provided a deep understanding concerning the learner’s affective characteristic for each subject. and it emphasized the importance of considering the affective characteristics of the learner when organizing curriculum in the school. Especially, it was meaningful that a multi-dimensional analysis of the relationship between 10 subjects provided foundational data for convergence education.
