This study aims to examine the relationship between school life satisfaction and self-directed learning of elementary school upper graders and figure out the effect of personal self-concept in that process. For this research, data were gained from 451 elementary school fourth, fifth, and sixth graders living in five areas of Seoul, Daejeon, and Chungnam. This study includes a correlation analysis among school life satisfaction, personal self-concept, and self-directed learning, an analysis of the relative effects of school life satisfaction and personal self-concept on self-directed learning, and verification of the mediating effect of personal self-concept on the relationship between school life satisfaction and self-directed learning. The results showed that elementary school upper graders’ school life satisfaction, personal self-concept, and self-directed learning have a positive correlation and that personal self-concept has a relatively higher effect on self-directed learning than school life satisfaction. Also, in the relationship between the children’s school life satisfaction and self-directed learning, personal self-concept has a partially mediating effect. This study is of significance in that it suggests personal self-concept as a crucial factor in counseling as well as education to cultivate children’s self-directed learning.
