The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of the integrative art therapy program on the improvement of self-efficacy of children in child care centers. The research was carried out in the order of subject selection, pre-test, implementation of the integrative art therapy program, post-test, and processing of results during the period of February to October 2009. The
subjects for this research was chosen from elementary school students who were in year 2 to 6 residing in a child care center located in city A, province A. A total number of 26 students were selected, who were divided into two groups - 13 students in the experiment group and 13 students in the control group. The integrative art therapy program was implemented on the
experiment group for a total of 17 sessions, 120 minutes once a week, while the control group did not receive this treatment. The self-efficacy measure, K-HTP(Kinetic House-Tree-Person), KFD(Kinetic Family Drawing), and SCT(Sentence Completion Test) were used as research tools, and the results of pre- and post-test were analyzed. The findings of this research reveal that the
score of the experiment group increased more significantly than that of the control group in terms of self-efficacy, and the sub-elements of self-efficacy including confidence, self-control efficacy, and preference of assignment difficulty. The control group marked a lower score on the post-test compared to the pre-test. This paper concludes that integrative art therapy has a positive effect on the enhancement of self-efficacy of children in child care centers.

본 연구는 통합적 미술치료 프로그램이 보육시설 아동의 자기효능감 향상에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 한 것이다. 연구의 진행은 2009년 2월부터 10월에 걸쳐 대상자 선정,사전검사, 통합적 미술치료 프로그램 실시, 사후 검사, 결과 처리의 순으로 이루어졌다. 연구 대상은 ○○도 ○○시에 위치한 ○○보육원에 거주하는 초등학교 2～6학년을 대상으로 하여, 실험집단과 통제집단 각 13명씩 총 26명을 선정하였다. 실험집단은 주 1회 120분씩 총 17회기의 통합적 미술치료 프로그램을 실시하였고, 나머지 통제집단은 아무런 처치를 하지 않았다. 연구도구로는 자기효능감 척도와 K-HTP(동적 집-나무-사람그림), KFD(동적 가족화), SCT(문장완성검사)를 실시하여 사전․사후검사의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 실험집단은 통제집단보다 자기효능감 점수와 자기효능감 하위요인인 자신감, 자기조절 효능감, 과제난이도 선호 점수가 유의미하게 향상되었다. 반면에 통제집단은 사전보다 사후점수가 더 낮아졌다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 통합적 미술치료가 보육시설아동의 자기효능감 향상에 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
