“…Self-actualization needs and worklearning parallel factors are presented. (Kang et al, 2019) confirmed the change in college students' dropout intention and verified individual factors, family factors, and school factors as factors affecting the change. Personal and family characteristics were shown to have no statistically significant influence on dropout intention, while college satisfaction was proposed as a college factor.…”

This study analyzed the difference in the probability of dropping out by gender and department to identify the variables influencing the likelihood of dropping out of college students. Moreover, the following factors were primarily investigated among various causes of college student dropout: academic integrity, social integrity, emotional stability, career identity, college education satisfaction, educational service satisfaction, relationship with professors, economic stability, family emotional support, academic continuity, and stability. The data analysis was carried out for one month, from October to November 2021, for students enrolled in a four-year E institution in Gyeonggi-do. Data collection was conducted through an online survey. The effective sample number of students used in this study was 771. As a measurement tool, the college life adaptability test tool was used, and the analysis methods were cross-analysis, correlation analysis, independent-sample t-test, and logistic regression analysis. As a result of the study, the probability of dropout was higher for male students than for female students by gender, and the physical therapy department had a relatively high dropout probability compared to other departments. In addition, a negative correlation was discovered in both the sub-factors of dropout possibility and college life adaptability, and the difference in college life adaptability according to dropout possibility showed that the group with the possibility of the dropout was the group without the possibility of dropout. In comparison, the level of adaptability to college life was found to be low. Moreover, college education satisfaction and education service satisfaction were found as sub-factors of college life adaptability that predicted the possibility of dropout. The results of this study imply that the causes of college dropouts should be investigated at the institutional and government levels, not only at the individual level.

“…따라서 대학이 안정적인 운영을 유지하고, 학생들에게 지속적이고 효과적인 교육을 제공하기 위해서는 학생의 학업중단 징후를 조기에 파악하고, 대학생활을 지속할 수 있도록 조치하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 많은 선행연구에서 대학생이 학업중단을 결정하는 시기는 주로 신입생 시기인 것으로 보고되고 있으며, 이에 대한 이유로는 학교나 전공에 부적응, 더 좋은 대학으로의 진학을 요구하는 부모의 관여, 학업태만, 대학교육에 대한 불만족, 진로에 대한 무지 등 다양한 원인이 제시되고 있다 [2][3][4]. 그리고 대학 신입생은 의존적이고 수동적인 생활방식에서 독립적인 생활방식으로의 변화를 경험하며, 앞으로의 진로를 탐색하고 성인기로 전환하는 등 다른 학년과는 다른 과제를 시작하고 수행하는 시기이다 [5].…”

“…그리고 대학 신입생은 의존적이고 수동적인 생활방식에서 독립적인 생활방식으로의 변화를 경험하며, 앞으로의 진로를 탐색하고 성인기로 전환하는 등 다른 학년과는 다른 과제를 시작하고 수행하는 시기이다 [5]. 이러한 변화로 인해 대학에 적응하는 과정이 부담과 스트레스로 이어질 수 있으며 [3], 다른 학년보다 정서적으로 어려움을 겪을 가능성이 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다 [6]. 게다가, COVID 19로 인해 대학 내에서 신입생을 대상으로 하는 오리엔테이션 및 동아리 환영 행사 등의 활동이 제한되거나 축소되었다.…”

This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the intention to continue studying among freshmen in the nursing department, and to provide basic data for exploring ways to help freshmen lead a stable college life and efficient school management. This study was conducted from November 14 to 18, 2022, among freshmen at S women's college of nursing in Seoul, and the data collected from 85 students was used for the analysis, excluding non-responses. Differences in intention to continue studying and predictors of academic dropout were analyzed by ANOVA according to the general characteristics of the subjects, and the relationship between the variables was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The factors affecting the intention to continue studying were analyzed by multiple regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, first, the intention to continue studying according to general characteristics was statistically significantly different only for the intention to continue studying according to age. Second, when analyzing the differences in predictors of academic dropout according to general characteristics, there was a statistically significant difference in academic self-efficacy according to grade point average, and a statistically significant difference in major aptitude and career congruence according to age and the person who influenced them when they entered college. Third, the correlation analysis between age, intention to continue studying, and predictors of academic dropout showed that intention to continue studying had a statistically significant positive correlation with all variables except family environment and economic level. Finally, the results of the analysis of factors affecting intention to continue studying showed that interaction with professors, major aptitude and career congruence had a statistically significant effect on intention to continue studying. This study is significant in that it identifies factors that influence freshmen nursing students' decision to persist in their studies and provides a basis for exploring practical guidance for students with low persistence.

“…In addition, interpersonal variables comprehensively include relationships with teachers, parents, and friends, such as intimacy with teachers, support from parents, and support from peers, and social intimacy with peers and teachers is also an important factor that helps them adapt as members of the community. According to Kang et al [15], the support and encouragement of parents affects the ability to continue their studies, and students who are continuing their studies receive more support and encouragement from their parents than those who drop out [16]. In addition, studies have shown that students do not intend to drop out if they are aware of their parents' support.…”

This study is aimed at figuring out the effects of major selecting motivation on dropout, academic achievement, and major satisfactions of college students majoring in foodservice and culinary arts. To accomplish this, an empirical survey was conducted through a structural equation model. These findings showed that students are likely to drop out of college due to a career change or major maladjustment if they decide their major in consideration of college reputation or department recognition rather than their aptitude. Unlike existing studies, this study has practical implications concerning the importance of these factors in that their academic achievement is affected by their relationship and perception of their major satisfactions rather than their major selection motivations.
