Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the class that are linked with the extracurricular program in S university and to develop implications for the development and operation of the class with the extra-curricular program. We selected three classes for the same time that were opened at S University in the second semester of 2017. For analyzing communication, creativity and self-directed competences, we used the core competency diagnostic tools and FGI. The project in the extra-curricular program was practical tasks in the form of producing and reporting news about the university s business and institutions. As a result of paired T-test, the communication, creativity, and self-directed competencies of the students who participated in the class increased significantly. And focus group interviews showed that there was a change in the core competencies mentioned above. There were various changes of perceptions for university, the improvement of leadership and cooperative learning ability, and the confidence and achievement. In order to achieve fruitful endeavors through the innovation and quality improvement of university education, systematic development of the class linked with extra-curricular programs should be developed and implemented in various fields.
