Abstract
The purpose of the study is to propose a pathway to improvement for extracurricular activities of women’s universities. To achieve this goal, the current state and students perspectives were examined and analyzed. The the current state of extracurricular activities was divided into three parts: management, direction, and experience. First, the study result was about extracurricular activity management. The most preferred type and time to get engaged were ‘dispatch’ and ‘weekdays in a semester’. For one-time training, ‘2 hours’ were said to most effective, and the most preferred promotion method for extracurricular activities was ‘texts’. Second, the study result was about the direction for extracurricular activities. Since the reason for low student participation in the activities was ‘lack of publicity’, giving out monetary rewards such as scholarship or campus mileage and more various extracurricular activities available for students which will be able to support job employment after graduation were suggested as solutions. Third, regarding the participation experience of extracurricular activities, the activity that students were most involved and thought most helpful was the one that supported job employment. Most students participated in the extracurricular activities because they want to have diverse experiences. As to the student enrollment rate for the extracurricular activities of C university, students participated most in the ‘employment counseling’ among the employment and start-up business support programs, the ‘study group’ among the study support programs, the ‘personal counseling’ among student counseling programs, and ‘reading famous books’ among communication and good character building programs. The perception of extracurricular activities was statistically significant according to students participation experience, school year, and major. However, there was no significant difference in contents of extracurricular activities. The analysis of the extracurricular activity programs from 6 women s universities showed similar results. The direction for the development of extracurricular activities was discussed in the study in terms of setting up education and program goals, linking contents between curricular and extracurricular activities, and education methods boosting active student participation and intrinsic motivation.
Key Words: women’s university, extracurricular activities, university education, students’ perception, development direction
