대학생의 학업성취 및 리더십 요인분석

Abstract

This study examined the main factors affecting university students’ academic performance and leadership. Survey data answered by 270 university students nationwide were used. Tobit regression model was estimated for the academic performance, while Logit model was estimated for the leadership. As explanatory variables, personal factors, family-related factors, factors of college admission screening, and type of high schools were included. The Tobit estimation showed that female students and senior students had significantly better academic performance (Grade Point Average: GPA). Longer study hours and less smartphone use contributed to a better GPA. Students from special-purpose high schools or regular admission with CSAT(College Scholastic Ability Test) had higher academic performance. In contrast, the logit estimation results showed that senior students or students from metropolitan cities had less leadership experience in university, while students from technical high schools or early admission had more leadership experience in university. An interesting result was that students seated on the first three rows in class had significantly better GPA but less experience in leadership. The results hint student’s strategies for better GPA and suggest more target oriented indicators for college admissions based on the further clarification.
