Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in major satisfaction among college students by gender and university type(public, private), and what are the college education service factors that affect major satisfaction. Using data from the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey, a total of 1,220 students' data were analyzed using SPSS 23, and descriptive statistics, t-test, and multiple regression analysis were performed. As a result of the study, first, there was no significant difference in major satisfaction by gender or university type. Second, it was found that the service factors of university education had a significant influence on major satisfaction in the order of curriculum, educational content, student support system, and faculty and educational facilities had no significant effect on major satisfaction. Through this, in order to increase major satisfaction of college students, which is the competitiveness of the university, it is necessary to reorganize the curriculum and educational contents to improvement the quality of education and develop competence based on the needs of society and students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 전공만족도에 대한 성별, 대학유형별(국공립, 사립) 차이와 이에 영향을 미치는 대학교육 서비스 요인은 무엇인지에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 한국 아동·청소년패널조사(Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey)자료를 활용하여 총 1,220명으로 설정하였으며 본 연구를 위하여 spss 23.0으로 t-test 그리고 입력방식의 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 전공만족도에 대하여 성별, 대학유형별에 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 둘째, 대학교육의 서비스 요인 중에서는 교육과정, 교육내용, 학생지원제도, 교수진의 순서로 유의미한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 교육시설은 전공만족도에 대하여 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못했다. 본 연구를 통하여 대학의 경쟁력인 전공만족도를 높이기 위해서는 무엇보다도 사회와 학생들의 요구를 기반으로 교육과정과 교육내용의 질 확보 및 학생들의 역량을 개발할 수 있도록 재구성되어야 할 필요성이 제기된다.
