ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the trends in student satisfaction with university liberal arts education by examining the correlations between subjects based on the results of a student satisfaction survey on basic liberal arts subjects (Korean, English, Mathematics, and Computer) conducted at University A in the Chungnam region from 2023 to 2025. An analysis of yearly satisfaction surveys for Korean, English, Mathematics, and Computer subjects revealed that the proportion of positive evaluations was higher than that of negative evaluations, indicating that the learning objectives of each subject were realized through the classes. An examination of the correlations between subjects revealed that Korean and English maintain a high correlation. Since the two subjects share strong commonalities based on linguistic elements, there is a very high probability that an increase in satisfaction with Korean will lead to an increase in English as well. The correlation between English and Mathematics is analyzed as a stable relationship that maintains a constant association regardless of changes in the external environment. On the other hand, the correlation between Korean and Mathematics appears somewhat weaker compared to other subjects due to the distinct characteristics of Korean, which is based on logical thinking, and Mathematics, which is based on mathematical concepts and numbers. Computer, Korean, and English show a pattern of strengthening cohesion compared to the initial stages. Korean and English share a common tendency to reinforce learning capabilities centered on linguistic learning foundations, while learning capabilities for solving problems from a logical and critical perspective show a trend of strengthening cohesion based on the mathematical and inferential knowledge of computers. Based on these results, the direction of liberal arts education is suggested as follows. First, for subjects with low correlations among Korean, English, Mathematics, and Computer Science, measures to improve them should be considered, while for subjects where the correlation is stable, measures to maintain it should also be considered. Second, it is necessary to develop convergence courses by linking basic liberal arts courses with major courses or with other liberal arts courses. This is because the learning competencies acquired through the study of basic liberal arts courses at the university are based on core competencies in AI literacy.
