Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze differences of perceived career barriers based on demographic characteristics of cyber university students. The results of this study will provide a valuable basis for guiding adult learners in their career development. Subjects included 937 adult learners at cyber universities in Seoul, Korea, aged 20 and above. Results were as follows: The level of career barriers perceived by females aged 20-29 who were unemployed and single were higher than that of males aged 30 to 59 who were employed and married. Female students were higher in 'anxiety of future', 'lack of interest', 'lack of job information', 'interpersonal difficulty'. The only component in which subjects aged 50-59 perceived higher than other age groups was 'conflict with important people'. There was no significant differences by grade. These results imply that the perception of the career barriers of adult learners should be considered in customizing career development programs and career counselling.

본 연구는 서울소재 사이버대학교에 재학 중인 성인학습자들이 지각하는 진로장벽의 개인 배경변인별 차이를 분석하여 학습자의 진로발달에 도움이 되는 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 연구 대상자는 서울 소재 한 사이버대학에 재학 중인 20세 이상 성인학습자로 온라인 설문에 응답한 총 937명의 자료를 수집 분석하였다. 배경변인별 분석에서 여성이 남성보다, 20대가 30~50대보다, 비직장인이 직장인보다, 미혼이 기혼보다 진로장벽을 더 높게 지각하고 있었다. 하위영역 별로는 '미래불안', '흥미부족', '직업정보부족', '대인관계어려움' 영역에서 여학생이 남학생보다 유의미하게 높은 지각 수준을 보였다. 연령별 분석에서 50대가 다른 연령대에 비해 높게 지각한 영역은 '중요한 타인과의 갈등'이 유일했다. 학년에 따른 차이는 확인되지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과는 성인학습자의 배경변인에 따른 진로장벽을 극복하기 위해 맞춤형 진로발달 프로그램과 상담이 필요함을 시사한다.
