Abstract

Using data from the 12th year of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Education by the Korea Educational Development Institute, this study classified the latent profiles of graduate students' educational satisfaction in Korea and analyzed the personal characteristics, enrollment characteristics, and graduate school characteristics that influence the classified profiles. The results of the analysis showed that there are three latent profiles of graduate students' educational satisfaction in Korea, with slight differences in their forms and significant differences in their levels. The upper group with high educational satisfaction and the middle group with medium educational satisfaction showed high satisfaction with major courses and relatively low satisfaction with research mentoring, while the lower group with low educational satisfaction showed the highest satisfaction with research mentoring. The results of the influence factor test showed that research effectiveness, major department, type of enrollment, course of study, type of establishment, and type of graduate school had significant effects. This study used nationwide data to identify what types of educational satisfaction Korean graduate students exhibit, and drew implications for improving the quality of graduate education in Korea based on personal characteristics, enrollment characteristics, and graduate school characteristics that affect the prediction of graduate education satisfaction.
