A Study on the Future Operation Plan through the Analysis of Multi-major Perception, Improvement and Requirements of University Students

Objectives The purpose of this study is to present future strategies for the stable operation of a multi-major curriculum&#x0D; through the analysis of perceptions, improvements, and requirements related to multi-major.&#x0D; Methods The subjects of the study were 1,218 students at A University, which has a multi-major system in Seoul,&#x0D; and the difference was verified with the SPSS 23.0 program. For 232 people who responded to open questions,&#x0D; morphology analysis was conducted using KoNLPy based on Google Colab and then frequency analysis and&#x0D; Wordcloud were conducted.&#x0D; Results The main results are as follows. First, as a result of verifying the difference between multi-major perception&#x0D; and multi-major type classification, women were higher than men, and second, third and fourth graders were&#x0D; higher than first graders, and third and fourth graders were higher then second graders. In the case of the college,&#x0D; there was a statistically significant difference, but there was no statistically significant difference as a result of&#x0D; Scheffé's post-test. Second, as a result of verifying the difference between the preferred multi-majors, female&#x0D; students prefer double majors and male students prefer minor and convergence majors. There was no statistically&#x0D; significant difference in grades. College of humanities preferred double majors, engineering and IT colleges preferred&#x0D; minor majors, and IT preferred convergence majors. Third, as a result of verifying the difference in multi-&#x0D; major improvements, female students had high opinions on adjustment of the number of selected people by&#x0D; department,expansion of division by subject, and opportunity to participate in special activities by department.,&#x0D; and male students had high opinions on ‘strengthening academic support(professors, mentoring, teaching assistants).&#x0D; Compared to second, third, and fourth graders, first graders had a higher rate of adjustment of the number&#x0D; of selected students by department,expansion of division by subject, strengthening academic support(professors,&#x0D; mentoring, teaching assistants), and opportunity to participate in special activities by department.&#x0D; College of humanities had a high ratio of improvements in adjustment of the number of selected people by department,&#x0D; IT college expansion of division by subject, strengthening academic support(professors, mentoring,&#x0D; teaching assistants)., college of engineering opportunity to participate in special activities by department.&#x0D; Fourth, as a result of the morphology analysis of the requirements for multi-major operation, it was ranked first&#x0D; major, second student, third credit, fourth subject, and fifth average.&#x0D; Conclusions The results of this study are meaningful in that it provides basic data for establishing the direction&#x0D; of the multi-major curriculum. In addition, based on the results of this study, I would like to propose a way for multi-&#x0D; major customized operation in consideration of the characteristics of students.
