Through a practical survey of students attending departments related to police science in Gangwon State, this study aimed to make an empirical analysis on the factors that affect their intention to continue study.
Detailed results of research on the foregoing show that First, as a result of overall analysis on the survey targets, the higher the degree of career decision and the higher their satisfaction of university, intention to continue study was formed strongly.
As for the research targeting enrolled students by each grade, results show that if lower graders such as freshmen and sophomores already decided to become a police officer or enter the field of criminal justice, or highly satisfied with university or department, their intention to continue study was also high.
On the contrary, only the variable of career decision had a significant effect on the intention of students in higher grades to continue study instead of satisfaction of university or department. Therefore, the importance of nonsubject programs such as career counseling and support for finding employment or start a business has been emphasized more with a variety of learning support programs for enabling them to decide career that corresponds to the reality for high graders.
Accordingly, it is considered that universities establishing a department related to police science need to operate a systematic education quality management system that can continuously improve educational services and the educational environment to increase students’ satisfaction with the university and department.
And in order to improve the satisfaction of students majoring in police science with their major education, universities shall also continuously revise the major curriculum from a demand-oriented perspective and expand the basic learning support organization to strengthen the basic capabilities for effective major learning.
Universities also need to keep developing and implementing various learning support programs by expanding diverse nonsubject education for enabling enrolled students to be immersed in life of university and department, and to enable them to enter the public service in field of criminal justice as well as smooth adaptation in their campus life.
In addition, it is also considered necessary that universities need to expand administrative and financial support and institutional strategies to strengthen function and role of department supporting employment and business start-up or psychology counseling center for strengthening career and psychology counseling system, and provide university students majoring in police science with environment to receive high-quality career and psychology counseling through the foregoing.
