Abstract

For this paper, we developed a game-addiction therapy program for students with gaming addiction based on multiple intelligences (MI) and verified its effects. The participants were 54 elementary students selected through a game addiction test in Incheon City, Korea. We tested the students' MI to facilitate program development. the students with gaming addiction showed strengths in the Bodily-kinesthetic, Naturalist, and Spatial intelligences whilst showing weaknesses in the Logical-mathematical, Intrapersonal, and Interpersonal intelligences as opposed to normal students who had opposite results. We arranged the program around various gaming and playing activities to engage their stronger intelligences; we added activities to address their weakness (i.e., Logical-mathematical, Intrapersonal, and Interpersonal intelligences). This study has shown that this program lowered the game immersion level of the students and was helpful in turning their attention to other activities. There were significant differences between pretest and posttest game addiction scores (p<0.001). Their weekly gaming time and computer usage decreased rapidly. Satisfaction with the game addiction therapy program based on MI was very high.

본 논문에서는 게임중독 학생들을 위한 가드너의 다중지능 이론을 기반으로 한 게임중독치료 프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과를 검증하였다. 게임중독척도에 의해 선발한 I 교육청 초등학생 54명을 대상으로 하였으며. 프로그램 개발 전 무작위로 선발된 비교 학생들과 게임중독학생들의 다중지능을 검사하였다. 다중지능 검사결과, 게임중독 학생들은 일반 학생들에 비해 신체지능, 자연친화지능, 공간지능에서 강점을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 논리수학지능, 대인관계지능, 자기성찰지능에서는 일반학생에 비해 약점으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구는 게임중독 학생들의 강점을 고려하여 학생들의 흥미를 높이기 위해 다양한 게임과 학습놀이 위주로 프로그램을 구성하였으며, 그들의 약점을 보완하기 위한 활동들을 추가하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 5일간 30시간에 걸쳐 진행하여 효과성을 검증한 결과, 학생들의 게임 중독 수준(G척도)이 통계적으로 유의미하게 낮아졌으며(p<0.001) 다른 활동으로의 시선돌리기에 도움을 주었음을 보였다. 또한, 일주일간 게임시간과 컴퓨터 사용시간이 줄었으며 프로그램에 대한 만족도도 매우 높았다.
