Abstract

The purpose of this study is to devise a model of career decision in the science-gifted by exploring factors of having influence upon career decision in the science-gifted undergraduates of our country, and by examining pattern and path of career decision. By suggesting a model of structure, which synthetically considered factors of parents (parental social support), school (stress of college life, adjustment to college life), and individual characteristics(problem solving ability, career decision-making self-efficacy, conviction for major selection)as for career decision in the science-gifted undergraduates through this study, the aim was to arrange the theoretical frame for career in the science-gifted undergraduates. The research subjects were 93(class of 2007~2009) students who completed education in 2002 and 2003 at the gifted education center affiliated with University, and 264 scholarship students(class of 2005-2008) by the President at home and abroad, who are receiving scholarship by being selected as a science scholarship student by the incumbent President. The measurement tools, which were used in this study for collecting data, are test of parental social support, test of problem-solving ability, test of stress in college life, test of adjustment to college life, test of efficacy in career decision, and test of having confidence in selecting a major. For statistical analysis of the collected data, SPSS Program and AMOS Program were used. As a result, the model showed a good fit to the present data in the science-gifted undergraduates, TLI=.928, CFI=.941, RMSEA=.059. It was confirmed to be a model that is accepted in the group of the science-gifted undergraduates. Also, hypotheses, which were established on the basis of a theoretical quest, could be known to have been all adopted except one path. The results of this study can be offered as basic data for developing program and implementing a system in order to broaden the width of understanding about career and to help the career decision in the science-gifted.

이 연구는 우리나라 대학생 과학영재의 진로결정에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 탐색하고 진로결정의 패턴과 경로를 살펴봄으로써 과학영재의 진로결정 모형을 구안하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 연구를 통하여 대학생 과학영재들의 진로결정을 부모(부모의 사회적 지지), 학교(대학생활스트레스, 대학생활 적응), 개인특성(문제해결 능력, 진로결정 효능감, 전공선택 확신) 요인들을 통합적으로 고려한 모형을 제시함으로써 대학생 과학영재의 진로를 위한 이론적 틀을 마련하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 대학부설 과학영재교육원에서 2002, 2003년도에 교육을 받은 수료생 93명과, 대통령 과학 장학생에 선정되어 장학금을 받고 있는 국내외 대통령 장학생 264명 이었다. 자료수집을 위해 사용한 측정도구는 부모의 사회적 지지검사, 문제해결능력 검사, 대학생활 스트레스 검사, 대학생활 적응 검사, 진로결정 효능감 검사, 전공선택 확신 검사이며 수집된 자료의 통계분석을 위하여 SPSS Program과 AMOS Program을 사용하였다. 연구 결과 대학생 과학영재의 진로결정 구조모형의 적합도는, TLI=.928, CFI=.941, RMSEA=.059로 연구모형이 대학생 과학영재 집단에 수용되는 모형임을 확인하였다. 또한 이론적 탐색을 바탕으로 세운 가설이 하나의 경로를 제외하고는 모두 채택되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 과학영재들의 진로에 대한 이해의 폭을 넓히고 진로결정을 돕기 위한 프로그램 개발과 체제구축을 위한 기초자료로 제공될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
