Exploring the Effects of School Career Education Experiences on Career Competence of Multicultural Students by Regional Scale

This study identifies the difference between career competency and school career education experience of multicultural students of different sizes of residence, and explores the influence of various factors, including school career education experience, on career competency by regional scale. To this end, the data of 1,085 people included in the 「Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study(MAPS)」was used, and statistical significance was confirmed through one-way ANOVA, post-hoc test, and multiple regression analysis. The analysis results are as follows. First, it was found that the career competency of multicultural students was significantly higher in the rural area. Second, the school career education experience of multicultural students was found to be significantly higher in large cities and small and medium-sized cities. Third, it was found that the factors influencing the career competency of multicultural students were different depending on the regional scale. School career education experiences had an influence in large cities and small and medium cities, but did not appear in rural areas. This study empirically confirmed the influence of regional scale factors on the career education of multicultural students, and suggests that a customized approach that considers regional scale factors is needed in future career education support for multicultural students.
