Abstract

Universities in Korea are presenting various extracurricular activities for survival and growth. Although the goals of extracurricular activities are diverse, one of the most important is to improve the academic achievement of college students. In this study, we looked at the relationship between the cumulative score of extracurricular activities by difficulty level and academic achievement. As a result, first, even if students' basic academic skills were controlled, extracurricular activities had a positive effect on student achievement. This suggests that universities should provide extracurricular activities that are more diverse and tailored to the needs of students. Second, the participation rate of female students in extracurricular activities is similar to that of male students, but the performance is very high. Third, Senior students show high levels of participation and performance. This means that it is necessary to actively increase the participation rate of female students and lower grade students. To this end, not only publicity and compensation, but also active interest and participation of instructors will be required.

우리나라의 대학은 존립과 성장을 위해 대학생의 비교과 활동을 다양하게 제시하고 있다. 비교과 활동의 목표는 다양하지만 가장 중요한 요인 중 하나는 대학생의 학업성취도 개선이다. 본 연구에서는 비교과 활동을 난이도별로 가중하여 누적한 비교과 활동점수와 학업 성취도의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 첫째, 학생들의 기초적 수학능력을 통제하더라도 비교과 활동은 학생의 성취도에 긍정적 영향을 주고 있다. 이는 대학이 보다 다양하고 학생들의 요구에 맞는 비교과 활동을 제공하여 학생들의 참여율을 높여야 한다는 것을 시사한다. 둘째, 여학생의 비학점 활동 참여도는 남학생과 비슷하지만 성과는 매우 높게 나타나고 있는 반면, 고학년 학생은 참여도와 성과가 모두 높게 나타나고 있다. 이러한 점은 여학생과 저학년 학생의 참여율을 적극적으로 높일 필요가 있다는 점을 의미하는데 이를 위해서는 비학점 활동에 대한 홍보나 장학금 등 경제적 보상 뿐 아니라 교수자의 적극적인 관심과 참여가 필요할 것이다.
