본 연구에서는 진로의식관련연구, 특히 진로의식성숙과 심리적 변인과의 관련연구에서 주로 제외되었던 우리 나라 초등학생을 대상으로 하여 자아개념과 내외통제성이 진로의식성숙과 어떻게 관련되어 있는가를 알아보았다. 본 연구의 주요결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자아개념과 진로의식성숙 간에는 신체적 자아개념과 사회적 자아개념을 제외하고 학문적 자아개념 및 정의적 자아개념과 正的 相關이 있었으나 그 상관계수는 낮았다. 둘째, 내외통제성과 진로의식생숙과의 관계에서는 내적통제집단이 외적통제집단에 比해 진로의식성숙 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 초등학생의 진로의식성숙 수준을 예언하는데 기여하고 있는 자아개념과 내외통제성변인 중에서 기여도가 큰 순서는 내외통제성변인, 학문적 자아개념변인, 정의적 자아개념변인으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 선행연구들과 관련지어 논의한 후, 초등학생 진로지도에 주는 시사점 및 후속연구에 대한 제언에 대해 언급하였다.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the career maturity of Korean elementary school students in relation to their self-concept, internal-external locus of control and other related psychological variables. This kind of study has rarely been carried out by the researchers so that it has been very difficult to assist elementary school students to achieve the career awareness relevant to their maturity level. The analysis showed the following findings. First, The career maturity and self-concept seemed to be related when these two variables were analyzed It showed that academic and affective self-concept showed a positive correlation. Second, when the locus of control was compared with the career maturity, the internal locus of control group showed higher level of career maturity than the external locus of control group. Third, it was found that the order of variables that seemed to be contributing for predicting elementary school students' level of career maturity were the internal locus of control, academic self-concept, and affective self-concept in ascending order. Based on the findings of the study, implication of career guidance of elementary school students was widely discussed with relation to the previous researches and the procedures and methods for the career guidance of the elementary school students were discussed as well. The research that should follow in the future were also suggested.
