사립 전문대학의 특성별 교육지표 차이와 영향 관계 분석

Abstract

This study analyzes differences in characteristics-based educational indicators among private junior colleges using university information disclosure from the view that educational conditions and performances can differ due to regional, school-systematic, and scale characteristics of junior colleges. Also, it further analyzes relations of the influence that college characteristics and educational condition indicators have on educational performances. As a result of the analysis of educational condition indicators, colleges in smaller scale under 1% in college scale characteristics showed higher averages in the two educational facilities indicators, school building and site provisions. There were significant average differences in 7 out of the 9 educational indicators with regional classification, 4 with school system classification, and 6 with scale classification. The results of the analysis of educational performance indicators showed less than 1% or 5% average differences in all of the three freshmen related performance indicators with regional and scale classification. As for attending ratios, there were less than 1% significant differences in regional characteristics and less than 5% significant differences in school-systematic and scale characteristics. The order of colleges in employment rates with respect to regions turned out to be ‘colleges in the capital area < ones in non-capital metropolitan areas < ones in non-capital, non-metropolitan areas with less than 5% differences. The further analysis of the influence of characteristics and educational conditions of colleges on educational performances showed that educational cost per student and college scale had very significant (p<0.01) positive (+) influence while average tuitions had very significant negative (-) influence on attending ratios and employment rates. Faculty-student ratios had very significant positive (+) influence on attending ratios. The above analysis can be regarded as suggesting that policies are necessary for extending educational fund investment for students, tuition lowering, and faculty-student ratio increase in order to secure colleges’ competitiveness.
