Analysis of the Relationship between Satisfaction and Learning Outcomes in the Liberal Arts based on Core Competency and Core Competencies of College Students: Focused on D University

This study attempted to examine the degree to which college students’ satisfaction with liberalarts education based on core competencies set for each university and perceived learningperformance level are related to the core competency level(correlation, regression, and IPA). Tothis end, students at D university were asked to respond using DEU liberal arts educationsatisfaction and learning outcomes questions and the DEU-CCDS(core competency scale). As aresult, there was a significant correlation between all variables except for 'democraticcommunication' of core competencies. In addition, it was found that the satisfaction andlearning outcomes of liberal arts education significantly explained all core competencies exceptfor ‘democratic communication’. On the other hand, as a result of IPA analysis, the corecompetency components related to the satisfaction of liberal arts education were distributed inthe areas of maintenance reinforcement(5), continuity maintenance(1), and progressimprovement(1). In addition, the core competency components related to the learning outcomesof education were distributed in the areas of maintenance reinforcement(5), continuitymaintenance(1), progressive improvement(3), and focus improvement(1). This is significant inthat the quality level of liberal arts education was confirmed through the satisfaction andlearning outcomes of liberal arts education, and at the same time the core competencycomponents for enhancing the quality of liberal arts education were examined.
