교수-학생 간 수업 외 상호작용이 학생의 대학생활 적응에 미치는 영향 잠재성장모형(LGM) 분석

초록

This study seeks to reveal the longitudinal influence of faculty-student interaction upon students’college life adaptation in Korea. Utilizing responses of 2,270 four-year college students included in the 7th (2011), 8th (2012) and 9th year (2014) of the "KELS 2005", we examined the relationship between the two variables over time using multivariate latent growth model analysis method. We found that the degree of faculty-student interaction and the adaptation level of college students increased over time. It is confirmed that faculty-student interaction has a positive effect on the college life adaptation of students, which means that students who interact more with professors outside of the class better adapt to college life over time. Moreover, the relationship between the two variables was still significant after putting predictive variables such as satisfaction with college and desirability of college into the model. Based on the results, we suggested policy implications that could enhance faculty-student interaction as a key factor to prevent college dropouts and improve students' adaptation to college life.
