The purpose of this study is to understand the campus life of engineering transfer students, to devise a means for increasing their participation in the ABEEK, and to assist them to have the satisfactory campus lives through researching the satisfaction level and the campus life adaptation of transfer students. We conducted a survey targeting 193 engineering transfer students of K university and D university. The study shows that most transfer students were accepted into college through a general screening process, their grades are likely to be lower than those of the previous college, however, they tend to be satisfactory with the current campus life, and the rate of participation in the ABEEK is low. Therefore university officials need to work hard to raise the rate of the participation in the ABEEK track and the campus life adaptation of transfer students. Moreover, the male transfer students tend to be more satisfactory than the female students, and students with higher grades in the previous college are likely to show higher adaptation than those with lower grades. Therefore we should make effort to increase the satisfaction of transfer students and need to accommodate the programs for the female transfer students more positively.

This article explores the impact of mergers on the experiences of students. A case design is used to gain an in-depth understanding of the students in a Korean university that was combined with a two-year college in 2007. Semi-structured interviews of 11 direct entrants, 5 transfer students, and 7 professors were conducted in 2010 for the data collection. The results suggest that mergers do not necessarily ensure the integration of the students involved. Since mergers pose enormous challenges to both transfer students and direct entrants, university leaders need to give careful attention to students' persistence and integration as the campus changes. The results also reveal that students' experience of mergers may be affected by cultural backgrounds as well as the hierarchical structure of higher education. In Korean society, where credentialism prevails, mergers can have different impacts on students who come from initial institutions of differing perceived quality, and thus mergers may incite tension among the students. In light of these concerns, this study's findings highlight the importance of student integration as a key element in mergers.

This study examines the Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2005 7th-9th year data to analyze the university life of transfer students prior to their transferring by comparing them to that of non-transfer students. This study used two types of comparison groups: The first comparison group encompasses all who did not transfer and the second group was 1:1 matched sample of students who were enrolled in the same universities in the 7th year and were of the same gender. The 7th and 8th year experiences were compared, respectively. According to the result, transfer students in their previous universities compared to non-transfer students demonstrated higher grade point average, active class participation, and more interaction with faculty outside the class. On the other hand, these students demonstrated relatively lower satisfaction in university life, lower sense of belonging, and lower participation in student unions, campus events, and other student activities. They also tended to have less interaction with their colleagues. In other words, transfer students showed high competency and interests in academic activities like managing good grades and interacting with faculty but showed less interest in social activities such as interacting with peers and engaging in various campus activities. It is necessary to develope programs to help transfer students to adapt to school efficiently by utilizing the results of this study.

We investigate the type of self-selection arising in college transfer in Korea, and then estimate the returns to additional college education gained through transfers from junior colleges to four-year colleges or universities. In this paper, we show that academic transfer is consistent with a positive selection hypothesis, in a sense that students with characteristics correlated positively to productivity are more likely to transfer to four-year colleges from junior colleges. These empirical results also meet an underlying dispersion condition. In addition, we find that the transferred would make a statistically significant return to additional college education.

This study was conducted to understand and describe in depth the university life experience and the feelings of nursing students who transferred to a new nursing school, and the data was obtained through phenomenological methods. The participants of this study were 8 graduate transfer students who graduated from a 4 year university at C university and had a bachelor degree, and they then transferred into the third year of another 4 year university to study nursing. The data was collected from October 2018 to January 2019 by using in-depth interviews and tape-recording. The interview data was analyzed by the phenomenological analysis method of Giorgi. The analysis revealed the following factors: a feeling of heterogeneity, a feeling of burden, a need for adaption to the department and the responsibility for the choice of transferring schools. In conclusion, it is necessary for the transfer students who have transferred to a nursing department to prepare a plan while still in their first school and that can be done together with their fellow future transferees so that they do not feel a sense of heterogeneity with the existing students. In order for transfer students to bear the burden of studying in the new department, it is suggested that an intervention program should be developed to help transfer students adapt to their major, such as providing a base for efficiently acquiring the major knowledge of the nursing profession.

Many of learners in cyber universities have experienced the difficulties of learning and participation because they have never participated courses of cyber universities before. One of main reasons why they have experienced the difficulties was that they might have not received systematic guidances of university system as well as learning supports, depending on their readiness of e-learning. Otherwise, they may have lack of supports frequently and finally, fail to graduate. However, few studies were conducted to investigate the e-learning readiness of freshmen and enrollees in cyber universities. The purpose of the study was to analyze the e-learning readiness and learning activities of freshmen and enrollees of A cyber university and to support them more systematically and get them to succeed in studying. In the results, there were no differences between the freshmen and enrollees in basic competencies of cyber learning as well as interaction, task performance, and learning methods.

사회 구조가 날로 복잡해짐에 따라 현대는 보다 노련하고 보다 높은 지식층의 개인에 대한 요구가 점차 증가하게 되었으며 이러한 사회적 경향은 전문직의 발전에 박차를 가하게 되었다. 본 논문의 목적은 한국 간호원들의 등록 간호원 학사 편입제도에 대한 의견을 조사 발표하는 것으로 질문지를 이용한 서술적 방법에 의한 연구 조사이다. 본 논문의 대상이 되었던 113명의 한국 간호원들 중 특히 학사 출신 간호원들은 간호 교직을 그들의 생의 목표로 삼는 경향이 더욱 두드러 지는데 비해 3년제 간호학교 출신 간호원들은 간호직 외에 보다 넓은 분야에서 그들의 생의 목표를 찾는 경향이 보였다. 질문에 응해준 간호원들의 대부분은 한국에 있어서 등록 간호원 학사 편입제도의 가치와 필요성에 대해서 지대한 관심과 갖고저 하는 희망을 보여 주었고 특히 3년제 간호학교 출신 간호원들은 이 제도에 대한 시급한 필요성과 큰 가치에 적극 호응하는 가장 높은 교육열을 보여 주었다.

While demand for construction engineering education at Cyber University is growing rapidly in a short period of time, there is a lack of research and evaluation on whether or not to develop in terms of quality. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics and motivation of the new and transfer students of the department of Construction Engineering at Cyber university and to identify areas that will be complemented in construction engineering education and to provide guidelines for providing better education through satisfaction survey on current education of new students, students and graduates of Cyber University. For the development of construction engineering education at cyber universities, the content of education needs to be differentiated from that of offline universities. In addition, new and transfer students should be able to achieve their goal of obtaining certificates and be provided with satisfactory education to become professional engineers. For students with diverse goals, a wide range of subjects ranging from basic to specialized courses should be provided so that they can select subjects that suit their goals.
