Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of undergraduate students’ participation in out-of-class activities on the development of core competencies. Multiple regression analysis was performed on 1,827 undergraduate students from the 7th and 8th waves of the Korean Education Longitudinal Survey 2005 of the Korean Educational Development Institute. Samples were divided into two groups according to whether they were first-generation college students and group analysis was performed. This study found that student-faculty interactions had a significant effect on the development of core competencies of students. Second, the effect of student-faculty interactions on communicative competency and self-management competency was significant only in the first-generation college students. Based on the findings, institutional policy implications for enhancing core competencies of undergraduate students in general, first-generation college students in particular were discussed.
