Abstract

This study aimed to provide basic data required for operation and development of a program that is necessary for linkage with the major as well as proper settlement of community service of the university by identifying university students' major satisfaction and academic achievement level in relation with the characteristics of community service. A survey was conducted in 401 university students who voluntarily participated in this study using the online survey panel targeting university students who reside in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province from December 1, 2014 to February 1, 2015. The results are as follows. Students who had a community service experience and had higher participation in community service showed higher major satisfaction and academic achievement. Particularly, when community service was related to the major, major satisfaction was higher. In addition, the higher the satisfaction with community service was and the higher the need of community service was, the higher the major satisfaction was. Students with health major showed higher major satisfaction than students with non-health major. Therefore, development of an effective program will be necessary to increase the need and participation of community service and revitalize community service more continuously.

본 연구는 대학생의 전공만족도 및 학업성취수준을 봉사활동 특성과 융합적으로 규명하여 대학의 사회봉사활동의 올바른 정착과 함께 전공학문과의 연계에 필요한 프로그램의 운영 및 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법은 2014년 12월 1일부터 2015년 2월1일까지 부산 경남지역에 거주하는 대학생들을 대상으로 온라인 설문 패널을 이용하여 자율적으로 연구에 참여한 대학생 401명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 최종분석에 사용하였고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 봉사활동 경험이 있을수록 봉사활동 참여도가 높을수록 전공만족도와 학업성취수준이 높았고, 특히 봉사활동이 전공과 관련성이 있는 경우 전공만족도가 높았다. 또한 봉사활동 만족도가 높을수록 봉사활동 필요성이 높을수록 전공만족도가 높았고, 보건계열이 비 보건계열에 비하여 전공만족도가 높았다. 따라서 전공 관련된 체계적인 봉사활동을 경험 할 수 있는 기회를 제공하여 봉사활동의 필요성과 참여도를 높이고 봉사활동이 보다 지속적으로 활성화될 수 있는 효과적인 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
