The Need Analysis for Developing Social and Emotional

The purpose of this study was to obtain implications by conducting a need analysis for developing social and emotional competency programs of university students. To this end, the data was gathered by university students in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province through questionnaire and focus group interview. For the need analysis through the questionnaire, first, t-test was verified statistically with the difference between the desired level and the current level. Second, Borich s needs were also derived using formulas. Third, the needs were presented using the The Locus for Focus model. Fourth, these were aggregated to derive the top and second priority items. In addition, the focus group interview (FGI) was conducted twice for a total of 10 university students. As a result, we were able to obtain meaningful data by transcription of qualitative data based on students experiences. Based on the survey and interview analysis, it was found that university students felt the most need for self-regulation and self-awareness competencies among the five sub-competencies of social and emotional competency: self-awareness, self-regulation, social-awareness, relationship regulation, and responsible decision-making. Implications and suggestions in further research were discussed.
