자유전공 대학생의 진로 인식과 경험 탐색 = Exploring Career Awareness and Experiences for College Students with Undeclared Majors

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to provide insights into the university system for personalized counseling and career education for students with undeclared majors. To this end, ten students in their second year or higher who had experience selecting their majors and career paths through the undeclared major system were selected. The questionnaire asked about the academic and career experiences that helped them eventually declare their majors. Their responses were analyzed by NetMiner for text analysis and topic modeling analysis. The findings from text analysis are as follows. Personal factors such as self concept, personality, values, and interests were found to play an important role in career and major selection. Also, their motivations to join as undeclared students were found to be connected with department, major, autonomy, and related areas. University selection was found to be connected with name value and influence from their high school counselors. The topic modeling analysis revealed 5 topics: course selection and requirements, considering faculty and academic interests, department selection and student concerns, engaging in career exploration and self-understanding, and major courses and graduation preparation. Based on the questionnaire responses, personalized counseling, tailored programs, and institutional support for students in the undeclared major program were discussed.
