대학신입생의 부모관여, 대학생활적응 및 학업성취의 관계 분석

Abstract

이 연구는 대학신입생들의 부모관여, 대학생활적응과 학업성취의 관계를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 선행연구들을 토대로 각 변인들 간의 관계에 관하여 연구모형을 설정하여 이를 검정하였다. 본 연구는 한국교육개발원의 한국교육종단조사 7차년도 대학생집단 데이터를 활용하였고, 국내의 4년제 대학생인 2,369(34.29%)명을 최종 분석대상으로 선정하였으며 성별구성은 여학생 1,180명(49.8%)과 남학생 1,189명 (50.2%)으로 이루어졌다. 연구 결과 첫째, 부모관여는 대학생들의 소속감과 만족도와 정적 상관이 있었으나 학 업성취와는 직접적인 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 연구모형의 적합도를 살펴본 결과, 부모관여가 소속감 과 만족도, 대학적응을 매개로 학업성취를 간접적으로 설명해주는 연구모형이 타당한 모형임을 확인하였다.

Parental involvement remains to be a prevalent phenomenon among college students. The purpose of this study was to investigate the casual relationship between parental involvement, college life adaptation and academic achievement in first year college students. This study utilized the KEDIs longitudinal data collected on 4-year university students nationwide for 2012 to show whether or not parental involvement has impacts on sense of belonging in college, college life satisfaction, college adjustment and academic achievement. Structural Equation Modeling analysis was used to analyze 2,369 college students data. It was found that parental involvement was positively correlated with sense of belonging in college and college life satisfaction. Parental involvement was not directly associated with academic achievement. It was confirmed that parental involvement indirectly explained academic achievement through sense of belonging in college, college life satisfaction and college adjustment. Parental involvement was a positive predictor of sense of belonging in college and college life satisfaction. The three college life adaptation variables(sense of belonging in college, college life satisfaction and college adjustment) intermediated the predictive relationships of parental involvement and academic achievement. Future research directions and implications to parents and institutions were discussed.
