The emergence of COVID-19 changing the world has also changed our life. People restrain themselves from going out in an effort to minimize their contact with other people to avoid the virus spreading through the human respiratory organs, and thus, the ordinary off-line life has changed to the on-line one. Accordingly, the school education has also changed from the off-line to on-line one. Before the emergence of COVID-19, the on-line education designed to complement the off-line education for the theoretical lecture had continued to develop, but the emergence of COVID-19 would convert not only the theoretical education but also the practice education into on-line one. Accordingly, the colleges are obliged to construct and reform the real-time video educational environment to meet the demands of the time.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the educational satisfaction of the real-time video education on our college students' future career decision. For this purpose, the researcher reviewed the preceding studies and thereupon, analyzed the effects of the real-time video education environment on college students' decision on their future careers. Based on the preceding studies, the researcher set the sub-factors of the independent variable or real-time video education as professors' quality, non-physical environment and educational programs. The sub-factors of the satisfaction with the education were set as contents and methods of the education, while those of the satisfaction with the major were set as cognitive satisfaction and curriculum satisfaction. On the other hand, the sub-factors of the future career decision were set as individual, environmental and educational systematic ones.
For an experimental analysis, SPSS 26.0 statistical package program was used for frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis and simple regression analysis. The results of such analyses can be summed up as follows;
First, the males accounted for the majority (66.4%, n=163) compared with the females (33.6%, n=83), while those aged 20 accounted for 44.5% (n=110) and the 2nd graders of the junior college accounted for 52% (n=128). 217 students (87.9%) could well use the computer, which means that the absolute majority of the students could not feel difficult for the real-time video education. On the other hand, 68% (n=168) of the students planned to find jobs after graduation, which is contrary to the preceding studies that had shown many students would study more abroad or establish their own businesses after graduation. Such changes would well prove that the majority of the students wanted to decide on their future career, being conscious of the stable employment due to the social changes caused by COVID-19.
Secondly, as a result of the regression analysis of the research model and hypotheses test, it was found that professors' quality and non-physical environment would affect subject students' future career decisions. However, it was found that the students' perceived education contents would not affect the real-time video education environment, which suggests that students should need a time to be adapted to the real-time video education. In case of another sub-factor of the satisfaction with the education, the non-physical environment and educational program were found to affect their satisfaction with the real-time video education. On the other hand, in terms of the subjects' perceived educational method, the professors' quality was less significant than the non-physical environment or educational program.
Namely, in the real-time video educational environment, students would feel satisfactory for it if the non-physical educational environment should be smoothly created. Hence, it is required of professors and colleges to create such non-physical environment. Accordingly, this study confirmed that students' satisfaction with the real-time video education would be affected by the non-physical environment.
Thirdly, it was found that the non-physical environment had significant effects on such sub-factors of the major satisfaction as cognitive and curriculum satisfactions. Because this study aimed at the out-dining and cooking majors of the junior college, the theory-centered real-time video education was affected most significantly by the non-physical environment. On the other hand, professors' quality had some negative effects on students' satisfaction with the major, which suggests that at the moment from off-line to on-line education, professors were not smoothly prepared for the new paradigm of education.
Fourthly, it was found that students' satisfaction with the real-time video education had some significant effects on such sub-factors of decision on future careers as individual, environmental and educational systematic sub-factors.
Students' satisfaction with the education is affected by their perceived overall situations. So, if they should be allowed to decide on their future career when being educated real-time or on-line or recoding-based, their decision would be much affected by what they had learned.
Fifth, it was found that the students' satisfaction with their major would affect such sub-factors of their future career decision as individual, environmental and eduction-systematic ones. Such a finding may well suggest that only when the students have acquired the knowledge about their major, they would be able to decide on their future career effectively.
Hence, it is deemed important in the junior college students' real-time video education to set the non-physical environment effectively. Moreover, it was confirmed through this study that professors' quality and educational programs would be important in terms of educational contents and methods. Thus, it is judged necessary to urge the students to use the non-physical environmental factors as they would become more important. In addition, the pedagogics are deemed important for students' satisfaction with the junior college programs. So, now when the real-time video education has been activated, it is deemed necessary to use diversified pedagogics to help students acquire knowledge, being more prepared for their decision on jobs. Then, the students would well accommodate the information of the education to decide on their future career effectively.
Lastly, this study emphasizing the importance of the educational environment for the real-time video education would well suggest that students' decision on their future career would be affected significantly by their satisfaction with education and their major.
