Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine recent research trends in academic counseling programs and to help direct for future research on academic counseling programs. In this study, 100 research studies on academic counseling programs, which were registered with the National Assembly's Library between 1991 and 2009, were analysed using seven criteria. The seven program analysis criteria were the backgrounds of the researcher, the subjects of the program, the purpose of the program, the research themes, the program development procedures, the methods of implementing the programs, and the evaluation of the programs. The findings of the study indicated the following: First, research studies on academic counseling programs in Korea concentrated on academic methods as independent variables, and academic achievement as dependent variables; Second, most academic counseling programs were recomposed from academic counseling programs in previous research results, but programs are increasingly being developed systematically; Third, research studies on academic counseling programs were conducted for the purpose of treatment in the initial stages, but research studies on academic counseling programs aimed at prevention are increasin; And fourth, the evaluation of academic counseling programs was focused on verifying the effects of the programs, but the evaluation of students' satisfaction based upon the reflection of their satisfaction and opinions is increasing.
