코로나19 시기에 고등학교에 재학한 고3 학생들의 경험에 관한 현상학적 연구

Abstract

This study is a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach to understand what high school seniors experience through one-on-one in-depth interviews and the meaning structure of the experience to provide a comprehensive and holistic understanding for students who need to choose and decide a new career in the era of infectious diseases. Participants in this study were first graders in high school when COVID-19 swept the world in 2019 and students who took the entrance exam in 2022. In selecting study participants, purposeful sampling and snowball sampling were used to find participants who could provide the timelyness of the sample, various experiences, and deep insight. Participants in the study were 8 people who provided voluntary consent in advance, and data collection was conducted from January to March 2022. The results of individual in-depth interviews were analyzed by applying Giorgi's phenomenological research method, As a result of the analysis, the experiences of high school seniors were derived into five categories and 15 subcategories, including "confusing", "depression", "difficulty learning on their own", "change of entrance exams" and "adaptation". Through this study, the experience of high school seniors attending high school during the COVID-19 period stated that unstable and confused high school students in our society are more required to actively cope with and support learning, career, and emotional support. Therefore, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the experiences of high school seniors during the COVID-19 period, and to accurately identify their needs and provide necessary interventions so that they can start as successful career paths and healthy members of society. In addition, it suggests a deep exploration of the role of educational governance in the era of infectious diseases.
