Abstract
Objectives The purposes of this study were to review the trends in research related to academic programs conducted at domestic universities and meta-analyze the effects of these programs, which can provide the data for improving of the quality of the academic program development. Methods For this purpose we searched for keywords such as ‘college student’, ‘study’, ‘program’, ‘academic probation’, and ‘college student underachievement’ in the RISS, and collected 103 papers of ‘college students’ academic support programs’ published from 2006 to 2021 in KCI and KCI-candidate journals. We analyzed the research trends of the collected studies, and conducted a meta-analysis on the effects of academic intervention program using 15 studies that applied a control group experimental design by using the R statistical program. Results The papers of academic programs for college students have been published since 2006, and their number has increased rapidly over the past decade. The target audience of the program was diverse, including program applicants, students with academic difficulties, and students from specific departments. For the operation form of the program, learning community, group education, and group counseling were in order. In addition to this, we analyzed the purpose of the programs, research methods, measurement variables and tools, and presented the results. Lastly, the meta-analysis result showed that the average effect size of the program was 0.5226, which was a medium effect size, and the significant moderator variables were the operation type and the purpose of the program. Conclusions We suggested how Korean colleges could design and operate the academic support programs for undergraduate students based on the results of this study and also provided some implications for the development of related research.
