항공서비스 전공 대학생의 성격이 학습스타일과 학업성취도에 끼치는 영향력에 관한 경험적 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationships among personality traits, learning styles, and academic achievement of airline service major students. Personality traits were conceptualized as a single latent variable integrating openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness, while learning styles were classified into four types: active, sensing, visual, and sequential. Data were collected through a survey administered to airline service major students from 17 universities in Korea, and a total of 344 valid responses were used for analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted using SPSS Statistics 29.0 and AMOS 22.0. The results indicated that personality traits had a significant positive effect on academic achievement. Among the learning styles, only the visual learning style showed a significant positive effect on academic achievement, whereas the effects of active, sensing, and sequential learning styles were not statistically significant. Furthermore, the visual learning style was found to partially mediate the relationship between personality traits and academic achievement, while no mediating effects were observed for the other learning styles. These findings suggest that visual learning preferences play a meaningful role in explaining academic achievement in airline service education. This study provides theoretical contributions by clarifying the structural mechanism linking personality traits, learning styles, and academic achievement, and offers practical implications for learner-centered instructional strategies in airline service education.
