대학생 필자의 쓰기 인식에 대한 조사 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore college students' awareness of writing. For this purpose, I conducted a survey among university students. The results were analyzed with 'the frequency analysis' and the difference in perceptions according to their genders, majors, and grades. First, college students perceived the concept of writing as a process of expressing writers' thoughts. And although they were aware of the importance of writing, they felt negative about their writing skills and their awareness on its relevance to their majors was rather low. There was also a clear difference in the perception of writing depending on students’ majors. Compared to students who major in engineering and natural science, students who major in humanities and social science were relatively more positive about writing. Finally, college students were much more likely to write online than to write offline. Furthermore, both in the online writing and in the offline writing, female students were more active than males ones, and humanities and social majors were more active than engineering ones, and students in the group of higher grades were more active than those in lower ones.
