이 연구에서는 독서에 대한 초등학생들의 감정상태를 알아보기 위해 독서태도를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 독서연구학교인 A학교와 B학교에 다니는 초등학생 4, 5, 6학년 523명을 대상으로 질문지를 배포하고 이를 수거하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 연구에 참여한 초등학생의 독서태도에 대한 평균 점수는 5점 만점에 3.8점으로 나타났으며, 태도 점수에서 학교 간, 성별, 학년별로 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 여학생이 남학생에 비해서 독서태도가 더 긍정적이었으며, 6학년의 독서태도가 가장 부정적으로 나타났다. 또한, 학업성취도 향상을 위한 독서에 주력한 학교보다 독서의 즐거움에 주력한 학교의 독서태도가 더 나은 것으로 조사되었다.
This study examined elementary students' reading attitudes to identify the state of feeling related to reading. For this, 523 elementary students from the forth to the sixth of ‘model schools for reading' participated and completed questionnaires. The results show that the average score of reading attitudes was 3.8 out of 5, and there were differences between schools, gender and grade levels. Girls' reading attitudes were more positive than boys and sixth-grade students' reading attitudes were the most negative of all grades. The students' attitudes of the school which emphasized reading for pleasure were better than that of reading for academic achievement.
