재직 대학원생의 학습경험과 직업정체성 (재)형성에 관한 연구

초록

The increase in the number of part-time graduate students has led graduate schools to become important institutes for career development in Korea. Part-time graduate students not only achieve academic knowledge and skills but also develop their career identity. The study explored how part-time graduate students transform their perspectives of learning, work, and their selves during their graduate school years. Thirteen part-time students, who completed at least three semesters in graduate school while working in careers of less than 5 years, participated in in-depth interviews. The following are the results of the study. First, the process of persisting with graduate school learning led to changes in perspectives on their work and learning of people who are early in their careers, that is, the new formation and restructuring of their frames of reference. Second, emotional, and environmental factors in the learning process of people early in their careers were intricately connected, which influenced the reconstruction of the occupational identity through their interaction. Third, participation in learning was the process of reconstructing their occupational identity. The study participants changed their identity from the 'career ignorant' to the 'humble learner' through learning, and reconstructed their occupational identity into the 'humble career man in need of endless learning' through the integration.
