Abstract

Universities that previously targeted in 20s have recently diversified their operation methods, founding purposes, and target. With a significant decrease in the school-age population relative to the number of universities, universities are making their best efforts to secure new students and minimize student attrition. In this study, an online survey was conducted to empirically examine the effects of motivation for major selection and sense of belonging on learning persistence intention among students in beauty-related departments at 2-year and 4-year general universities and cyber universities. The collected data from 119 students at general universities and 113 students at cyber universities were analyzed using SPSS 28. The key findings can be summarized as follows: For general universities, motivation for major selection did not have a significant effect on learning persistence intention, but sense of belonging had a significant positive effect. Additionally, an interaction effect was observed, indicating that as the sense of belonging increased, extrinsic motivation significantly increased learning persistence intention. For cyber universities, intrinsic motivation and sense of belonging among motivations for major selection had a significant positive effect on learning persistence intention, while the moderating effect of sense of belonging in the relationship between motivation for major selection and learning persistence intention was not significant. In summary, for general universities, the factor that influenced students' learning persistence intention was a sense of belonging to the university, while for cyber universities, intrinsic motivation played a significant role. These findings are expected to provide meaningful insights and data for universities to develop effective policies for preventing student attrition.

20대를 대상으로 하였던 대학이 최근에는 운영방식, 설립목적, 교육대상이 다양화되었다. 대학의 수에 비해 급격한 학령인구의 감소로 대학(과)은 신입생의 확보와 재학생의 중도탈락 최소화를 위해 최선의 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구는 2년제와 4년제 일반대학과 원격대학의 미용관련 학과 재학생을 대상으로 전공선택동기와 소속감이 학업지속의도에 미치는 효과를 실증하기 위해 온라인 설문을 진행하였다. 일반대학 119명, 원격대학 113명에게 수집된 자료를 SPSS.28를 이용해 분석한 주요한 결과를 요약하면, 일반대학은 전공선택동기는 학업지속의도에 미치는 영향이 유의미하지 않았으나 소속감은 유의미한 정(+)의 효과를 미쳤다. 또한, 소속감이 높아지면 외적동기는 학업지속의도를 유의미하게 상승시키는 조절효과가 나타났다. 원격대학은 전공선택동기 중 내적동기와 소속감이 학업지속의도에 유의미한 정(+)의 효과가 나타났으며 전공선택동기와 학업지속의도의 관계에서 소속감의 조절효과는 유의미하지 않았다. 결과적으로 재학생의 학업지속의도에 있어 일반대학은 대학(과)의 소속감이 주요했으며 원격대학은 내적동기가 주요했다. 이러한 결과는 재학생의 중도탈락 예방을 위한 대학(과)의 효과적인 정책 수립을 위한 의미있는 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.
