Assigning 21 of them to the experimental group and another 21 to the control group, we tested the effect of study skills training program through a pre-test and a post-test. The study skills training program used in this study was prepared by modifying the study skills training program for elementary students developed by Byeon, Yeong-Gye and Park, Han-Suk(2000) fittingly to the cognition level of 4thgrade underachievers. The results of this study are as follows.First, the study skills training was effective in changing underachievers’ study habits in a desirable way by improving their study skills.Second, the study skills training was effective in improving underachievers’ self-directed learning ability by improving their study skills.Accordingly, it is concluded that study skills training has a positive effect on study habits and self-directed learning ability of underachievers.攀논문 접수: 2006. 5.15 심사 시작: 2006. 5.20 게재 확정: 2006. 6. 25攀攀
