학령기에 해당하는 발달시기의 중요한 과업 중 하나는 학업을 통한 지식의 습득과 미래 진로의 준비이다. 학업수행에 대한 성공적 경험은 아동의 긍정적인 자아개념 형성에 기여하며, 이 시 기 형성된 자아개념은 정서적, 행동적 발달의 다양한 측면에서 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 학습적 기술을 획득하는 과정은 아동의 성숙과 책임감을 고양하는 동시에, 자아존중감을 형성하는 중요 한 원천이 된다(Bigner, 2010).
Objective: The current study aimed at examining the mediation effects of children’s self-esteem and self-control in learning between perceived academic achievement at 4th grade and 6th grade. This article proposes that perceived academic achievement boosts self-esteem and self-control in learning and both in turn, influence subsequent perceived academic achievement. We especially attempted to empirically prove that a serial multiple mediation of self-esteem and self-control in learning between the perceived academic achievement at two time points exists. Methods: We analyzed the longitudinal data of 1,881 children from the 4th to the 6th wave data of the ‘2010 Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS)’ by means of a Hayes's PROCESS(2012) program. Results: The results revealed that perceived academic achievement at 4th grade influenced children’s self-esteem and self-control in learning at 5th grade. Children’ self-esteem and self-control in learning subsequently predicted perceived academic achievement at 6th grade. Children’s self-esteem significantly predicted self-control in learning supporting the hypothesis of serial multiple mediation. Conclusion/Implications: In conclusion, children’s self-esteem and self-control in learning behaviors both mediated the association between perceived academic achievement at 4th grade and at 6th grade. The findings imply the importance of consideration of both psychosocial and behavioral aspects in understanding the academic performance during childhood.
