자기주도 학습능력과 내재적동기가 미용전공자 학생들의 학습몰입에 미치는 영향

This study aims to investigate the influence of self-directed learning ability and intrinsic motivation on the learning immersion of college students majoring in beauty, and to provide basic data to support self-directed learning in beauty education at colleges. The survey was conducted from April 29 to May 8, 2024, targeting beauty majors at universities in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. A total of 450 questionnaires were distributed, and 337 were used for analysis. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. As a result of the analysis, first, the majority of the survey subjects were female, aged 19 to 29, and were either current students or graduates majoring in hair design. Second, the ‘task/cognitive immersion’ and ‘emotional immersion’ factors of learning immersion were explained by the ‘physical environment/time management’ and ‘cognitive thinking’ factors of self-directed learning ability. The analysis showed a positive relationship, indicating that higher levels of learning immersion are associated with increased self-directed learning ability. Third, the ‘task/cognitive immersion’ aspect of learning immersion was influenced by the ‘enjoyment orientation’ and ‘challenge orientation’ factors of intrinsic motivation, while the ‘emotional immersion’ factor was influenced by the ‘enjoyment orientation’ factor. The conclusion of this study is that self-directed learning ability and intrinsic motivation positively affect the learning immersion of beauty major students in college. Beauty is an applied science that requires the recognition and acquisition of practical skills based on theory, with a wide spectrum from basics to application. This practice can be adapted and applied in various ways depending on each individual’s cognitive ability and development. Therefore, it is important to study how self-directed learning ability and intrinsic motivation influence the learning immersion of beauty major students. Enhancing these qualities will maximize students’ individual learning abilities through learning immersion, and ultimately serve as a significant driving force for their growth as professionals.
