ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of undergraduate students’ large group encounter participation to provide basic understanding of large group experiences and the possibilities of various modes of university education. The research questions posed were: First, what did the undergraduates who participated in the large encounter group generally experience? Second, what did they find out and what changes did they experience? Third, what were the problems and the limitations reported by them? This research used a phenomenological qualitative research method. The participants were attending a certain women’s university in Seoul, taking a group counseling course. The data was obtained through a semi-structured questionnaire, analyzed by Consensual Qualitative Research-Modified (CQR-M), which analyzes numerous subjective experiences, and categorizes and examines the process of change. As a result, 16 categories were derived, which were grouped into 3 domains: 1) the challenge of the large group, 2) the process of finding the authority/power to deal with issues, and 3) the independent recovery of my life. This study is an exploratory study which is intended to provide basic understanding of the large encounter group experiences. Based on the results, we discuss the large group encounter as a possible way to improve individual self-awareness and various aspects of education. We also provide ideas for future research.
