대학중도탈락률 분석을 통한 고교-대학 교육과정 연계의 필요성

Abstract

본 연구는 대학 전공 공부에 필요한 고교 선수교과를 대학수학능력시험에서 요구한 모집단위와 요구하지 않 는 모집단위의 대학 중도탈락률 및 자퇴율(이하 중도탈락률) 차이를 분석하여 고교-대학 교육과정 연계의 필요 성을 주장하였다. 대학수학능력시험의 영역별 요구여부에 따른 대학 중도탈락률 차이분석에서, 중도탈락관련 다 른 변인을 통제한 후에도, 고교 교육과정, 대학수학능력시험의 영역 및 대학 전공이 연계된 경우 일관되게 낮은 대학 중도탈락률을 보였다. 본 연구 결과가 시사하는 바는 첫째, 대학의 중도탈락률을 줄이고 보유율을 높이기 위해서는 처음부터 고교 교육과정과 대학 전공이 연계되게 공부한 학생을 선발해야 한다는 것이다. 이것은 대학입학 때부터 전공 적응도 가 높은 학생을 선발하는 것이며, 고교 교육과정부터 희망 대학전공과 관련된 고교 선수 교과목이 적성에 맞아 꾸준히 공부한 학생을 선발하는 것을 의미한다. 둘째, 고교 교육과정과 대학입시 및 대학 교육과정이 연계되어야 한다. 삼자가 연계된다면, 고교 때부터 대학전공과 관련된 고교 선수 교과목이 적성에 맞아 공부한 학생은 대학 에 가서도 중도탈락하지 않고 잘 적응할 것으로 예측된다.

This study examined 142 college dropout rates from a point of view of curriculum transition from high school to college. We examined the college dropout rates difference between college prerequisite subjects are required in the college entrance examination and not required, in order to claim the curriculum transition from high school to college. In the study of the college dropout rates difference between Korean is required in the college entrance examination and not required, the dropout rates difference of liberal arts and social sciences was great and statistically significant. The dropout rates difference of engineering and natural science, however, was minor and not statistically significant. Math shows contrary results. In the college dropout rates difference between Math is required in the college entrance examination and not required, the dropout rates difference of liberal arts and social sciences was minor and not statistically significant. The dropout rates difference of engineering and natural science, however, was great and statistically significant. In college dropout rates difference between English is required in the college entrance examination and not required, the dropout rates difference of international studies was great and statistically significant. The dropout rates difference of engineering and natural science studies, however, was minor and not statistically significant. The result of the study is that when the students' high school courses consist in their college entrance test's subjects and college majors, their college dropout rate hit a record low. This means that college dropout rates problem could be approached from a point of view of curriculum transition from high school to college. We could predict that students study well in college without dropout if they have studied well college preparatory course with interest and aptitude in high school. In conclusion, this study shows that it is needed to categorize high school's courses with college majors from a point of view of curriculum transition from high school to college.
