입학사정관제 입학생의 자기주도적 학습경험에 관한 질적 연구

초록

Ever since the new college entrance evaluation system as known as the ‘Admission Officer System’ has been initiated, Korean universities have developed their own evaluation criterion for the recruitment. Among the various criterion, student’s ‘self-directedness’ has been considered as the important criteria. Many researches have approved that self-directed students achieve higher GPAs, adapt well to university life, and develop their career plans more actively. Although self-directedness gained greater attention for the evaluation criteria of the system, there are not many studies that explain how students develop self-directedness and what kind of factors or people have influenced their developmental processes. In this regard, twenty one students from A University who entered through the system have been interviewed in order to explore their experience and to identify the processes and factors that have influenced them. The study has found out that as these students actively engaged in many projects and activities and met with new people other than their families and friends in and out of the campuses, they learned how to interact and sympathize with others and eventually grew out of their ‘comfort zone’. They learned how to play different roles in different situations and learned not only how to think but also feel as to build good relationship with others. ‘Interdependence’ and ‘intersubectivity’ can be characterized as their self-directedness that can be differentiated from the existing concept. Providing opportunities and creating environments that allow students to engage in various activities and to form larger networks should be the prior factors for the universities to consider in order to develop the students who entered through the system.
