외국인 유학생 유치·관리 역량 인증제의 성과 분석에 대한 연구 : 인증대학과 미인증대학의 차이를 중심으로

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of the International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS) on international student recruitment at 4-year universities across the country. It was analyzed whether certification for IEQAS affected recruitment and management of international students among 185 4-year universities in Korea based on various sources. Using SPSS 20.0, the researcher conducted reliability analyses, correlation analyses, and multiple regression analyses, which led to the following results. First, it was revealed that certification had a significant relationship with the recruitment of foreign students in such a way that certified universities were affected negatively in terms of the number of foreign students compared to uncertified ones. The proportion of those who passed the TOPIK among foreign students did not have a significant relationship with certification, though findings showed that the number of foreign students fluent in Korean on campuses of certified universities has increased recently. Research findings suggest that certification is a significant factor affecting the number of foreign students, and those certified recently recruited more foreign students with Korean language proficiency. It is expected that the findings and results of this study will be utilized as meaningful material for research on the globalization of higher education given the sparse literature on the IEQAS..
