Abstract
This study was aimed to obtain basic data with the intention of lowering the motives of local university students' halting their studies through an analysis of the factors affecting their academic interruption and satisfaction with their campus life. The result of this study is as following. First, it was found that the factors affecting their academic interruption included social variables, sense of self-respect, educational services, home environment, personal interest, academic abilities and so on. It was noted that the factors of personal interest and self-respect had the most significant effects on their academic interruption, statistically. Second, it was shown that the factors such as self-respect, educational services and personal interest had significant effects statistically on satisfaction with their campus life. Third, it turned out that there were significant differences in satisfaction with their campus life between those who considered halting their studies and those who did not. Therefore, concrete efforts at the university level should be put into practice to enhance students' self-respect for and satisfaction with their universities.
본 연구는 지방사립대 대학생들의 학업을 중단하게 되는 영향요인과 대학생활만족도 분석을 통해 대학생들의 학업중단 동기를 낮추는데 필요한 기초적인 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학업중단 영향요인으로 사회적 변인, 자긍심, 교육서비스, 가정환경, 개인흥미, 학업능력 등으로 도출되었다. 개인흥미요인과 자긍심이 학업중단여부에 가장 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대학생활만족도 분석에서는 자긍심, 교육서비스, 개인흥미요인이 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 학업중단 고려자와 비고려자 두 집단 간에 대학생활만족도에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대학차원에서 학생들의 모교에 대한 자긍심 향상과 만족도를 높이는 구체적인 노력이 실행되어야 할 것이다.
