특성화고 학생들의 현장실습 부적응 경험에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the experience of process of field training from school to company for students who are maladjusted to field training at Vocational High Schools, and to identify the central phenomena that occur in the field training process and the conditions that affect them. By doing so, it aims to provide the basic data necessary for constructing policies related to field training. Thirteen students from a vocational high school participated in three FGI interviews to this end. The transcribed interview data were analyzed through the process of open, axial, and selective coding according to the data analysis method of the grounded theory. The results are as follows. Firstly, As a result of analyzing experiences of students maladapted to field training at Vocational High Schools, 120 semantic units, 43 subcategories, and 16 categories were derived. Secondly, a central phenomenon of maladjustment in companies during the process of field training for vocational high school students appeared in the form of a lack of awareness of field training purpose, lack of a sense of process during field training, and information asymmetry about field practice. Maladjustment in field training of vocational high school students could be caused by contextual conditions such as education and subject mismatch, job mismatch, unsystematicity of training method at a company, lack of educational consistency of teachers for field training, and differences in the external environment. In fact, the central phenomenon was meditated by the difference in internal environmental conditions at the company and the influence of school teachers. In contrast, students tried to adapt themselves to field training companies through challenging emotional experiences during field training, an effort for field adaptations, and awareness by education with learning and growth. These efforts led them to realize their job competency level, social competency improvement, and change in career decisions. Finally, the central phenomenon of maladjustment at the company, which occurs as empirical process of maladjustment to field training by students of vocational high school, appeared in four stages over time: 'Frustrated and Anxious stage’→'Adaptive effort and Awareness stage’→'Capacity discovery, and Improved cognitive stage’→'Career decision stage'.
