Objective: It is to analyze the Eoullim programs developed and in progress as part of the school violence prevention education program and to propose efficient application plans and improvements to suit the situation and characteristics of schools at each level.
Methods: To analyze the application effect of the Eoullim program, we reviewed the report data on the “Harmony Program Application Effect Analysis” from 2018 to 2021, and used the one-way ANOVA statistics on the average score change of 6 competencies by school level. In addition, covariance analysis(ANCOVA) statistical data were used to find out the difference between post-competency scores for each of the six competencies according to the operation timing, continuity of operation, and operation method.
Results: All elementary, middle, and high school students who participated in the Eoullim program showed improved communication, conflict resolution, and emotion control capabilities, and teacher perception by school level showed the highest average in elementary school in the order of elementary, middle, and high school. When operating the Eoullim program in both the first and second semesters, the average competency of middle and high school students was high. When the program was continuously operated for at least two to three years, the average capacity of elementary, middle, and high school students was high, and when it was operated regularly, it was found that they improved their ability to actively cope in elementary schools, resolve conflicts in elementary and middle schools, and self-esteem and emotion control in middle schools.
Conclusions: There was a significant difference in the average score of students’ pre-post competency in the school violence prevention education program by school level, and there was a significant difference in the effect of each school level according to the timing, duration, and method of operation of the program. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively apply the program according to the school situation at each level.It was suggested that a survey of students who did not participate in the program was conducted, objective variables were included in the survey questions, cause analysis of contradictory results related to the application effect of the program and program modification and supplementation.
