초록

The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of intervention program implemented by Education Welfare Investment Priority Zone (EWIP) project on the intelligence, emotional intelligence, and scholastic achievement of children in low-income families. To this end, 100 children were selected in 4th and 5th grades from 3 elementary schools in ChungNam area, to whom in 2009 an intelligence test with Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Ⅲ (K-WISC-Ⅲ), an emotional intelligence test, and National Scholastic Achievement Test were administered. Then, the students were given an intervention program of the EWIP project, which included learning activities, cultural experiences, psychology of emotion, welfare, and other supports during a period of one year. In 2010, the intelligence, emotional intelligence, National Scholastic Achievement tests were given again to those students to examine the effects of the intervention program. At the same time, this study followed the Pretest/Posttest Control Group Design to verify the effectiveness of the intervention program by conducting the identical tests to children who were not from low-income families and did not participate in the intervention program in 2009 and 2010. ANOVA analyses showed that the intervention program of EWIP project gave little impact on the improvement of the target children's intelligence and scholastic achievement, while it provided positive impact on their emotional intelligence. It was suggested that the positive effect on emotional intelligence came from the differentiated and diverse programs of this project that include learning support as well as cultural experience, psychological emotions, and welfare support.
