잠재집단분석을 이용한 초등학교 사교육 시장의 유형화 연구

Abstract

This study focuses on classifying types of private tutoring according to the consumer’s nature and understanding the characteristics of each type. Furthermore, our goal is to comprehend problems within the Korean private tutoring market and discuss rationale that the policies on private education should be applied selectively depending on the type of market. This study intends to set appropriate political measures by types of private tutoring. A total of 12,698 elementary students who completed the ‘Private Education Expenditure Survey of 2014’ from the National Statistical Office were analysed. A total of 5 latent classes were drawn from the LCA, which were named after their characteristics as follows: Private Lesson, Premium Complex Private Tutoring, Supplementary Private Tutoring Institute, Universal Private Tutoring Institute, and Workbooks/Online Learning. Our results may lay the groundwork for private education policy development by establishing practical guidelines according to the type of private tutoring market in elementary school.
