Abstract

This research presents the actual situation analysis and suggestions for the changes, experiences, and process of adaptation that college students have experienced throughout their studies and life over the past two years and more. In-depth interviews were conducted with university students, who are educational objects, and qualitative analysis methods were used to explore the overall living experiences under the pandemic situation. The interview questions were composed to cover classes, life, and emotional experiences after COVID-19, and the result of analyzing the responses boiled down to four super-categories of 'adaptation process to a new system, daily incontinence, struggle for health, and longing for connection.' This study is significant in that it analyzed the experiences and intimate changes of individual college students in unexpected and challenging situations, and urged the myriad aspects that universities, society, and the government should illuminate and respond to.

본고는 지난 2년여간 학업과 생활 전반에 걸쳐 대학생이 겪은 변화와 이에 대한 경험 및 적응의 과정을 실태 분석과 제언으로 제시했다. 교육 객체인 대학생을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 진행하고 질적 분석방법으로 팬데믹 상황하에서의 생활경험 전반에 대해 탐색하고자 하였다. 인터뷰 질문은 코로나19 이후 수업 및 생활, 정서 경험을 아우르도록 구성하였고, 응답 내용에 대해 분석한 결과 '새로운 체계로의 적응과정, 일상의 실금, 건강을 위한 고군분투, 연결에 대한 갈망'의 네 가지 상위범주로 범주화할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 예기치 못한 도전 상황 속에서 겪는 대학생 개인의 경험과 내밀한 변화를 분석하고 대학과 사회, 정부가 조명하고 반응해야 할 면면을 촉구하였다는 데 그 의의가 있다.
