Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore what obstacles adult undergraduate experience in adapting to college life. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with 32 adult undergraduate attending colleges in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. For the study, Colaizzi's phenomenological research method was used and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, eight factors such as relation obstacle, bachelor's and curriculum operation obstacle, social recognition obstacle, study ability obstacle, college environment obstacle, economic obstacle, personal disposition obstacle, and temporal obstacle were found. Through the above research results, it was found that the college environment, which is operated mainly by general college students, is expressed as various types of obstacle for adult undergraduate who work and study at various ages and experiences. Based on the derived obstacle factors, it is expected that a follow-up study will be conducted to develop a measurement tool that can empirically explore the obstacle of adult undergraduate to adapt to college life.

본 연구는 성인대학생이 대학생활적응에서 경험하는 장애가 무엇인지 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 대구·경북지역 대학에 재학하고 있는 성인대학생 32명을 대상으로 심층면담을 수행하였다. 연구를 위해 Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법을 사용하고 분석하였다. 연구결과는 8개의 주제로 범주화하여, 개인성향장애, 학습능력장애, 인간관계장애, 사회적인식장애, 시간적장애, 경제적장애, 대학환경장애, 학사운영장애 등이 도출되었다. 이상의 연구결과를 통해 기존의 일반대학생을 중심으로 운영되고 있는 대학환경은 다양한 연령과 경험, 일·학습을 병행하는 성인대학생에게 다양한 형태의 장애로 표현되고 있음을 발견하였다. 도출된 장애요인을 기반으로 성인대학생의 대학생활적응장애를 실증적으로 탐색할 수 있는 측정도구 개발의 후속연구가 이루어지기를 기대한다.
