“…It can be seen that academic achievement rises from the sixth grade of elementary school to the third grade of middle school using vertical scale scores. Career maturity tends to decrease as the grade level increases during elementary school and middle school, probably because it is difficult for students in early adolescence to plan or explore their own career in detail (Lim et al, 2016). In the data in this study too, career maturity tends to decrease slightly as the grade goes up from the 6th grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of middle school.…”

In this study, we examined the longitudinal effect of the free semester system on middle school students’ academic achievement and career maturity using the Korean Education Longitudinal Study data, cohort 2013. We performed Difference-in-Difference (DiD) method to analyze whether the free semester system has effects on academic achievement and career maturity using the model moderated by parental academic support. We furthermore utilized quantile DiD method to examine whether the effects of the free semester system differ across the distribution of academic achievement and career maturity. As a result, we first found the significant positive effect of the free semester system on middle school students’ academic achievement and career maturity. Second, we found that parental academic support mediated its effects on math performance. Third, our findings indicate that the free semester system improves students’ academic achievement and career maturity, especially among students who performed to the bottom of its distribution. Based on these findings, practical implications and future research are discussed.
