대학 진로교육⋅서비스 경험 유형 분석 및 진로미결정과의 관계 탐색

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze the latent classes of career education/service experience(CESE) in universities and their effect on career indecision(CI). Methods Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify the classes of CESE for 3,296 students in the Korea Education & Employment Panel II (KEEPII) 5th year data. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore variables affecting latent classes, and the chi-square test was conducted to examine the relationship between latent classes and career indecision. Results The key findings are as follows. First, the classes of CESE were divided into three groups: ‘overall high experience’ (OHE) (6.4%), ‘medium experience focused on counseling and lecture’ (MECL) (38.2%), and ‘overall low experience’ (OLE) (55.4%). Second, the results of multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that self-awareness, department pride, and enrollment had positive effects in OHE, but that 4 to 6 year course had a significant negative effect. In MECL, enrollment had a positive effect, while a 4 to 6 year course had a negative effect. The chi-square test between the latent classes and career indecision showed that the rates of future job decision of OHE and MECL were significantly higher than that of OLE. Conclusions The study found that career education/service experience(CESE) in universities support was positive for students' career decisions, suggesting that efforts and balanced support are essential to expand career education and service participation at the university department level to increase students' career choice efficacy and major choice satisfaction.
