This study examined students' satisfaction with the high school credit system recognition and curriculum for vocational high school credit system research schools and non-research school students in commercial high schools. The high school credit system research schools in this study are schools that have been operated by applying the high school credit system over a three-year operating period, and non-research schools include schools other than research schools designated as leading high school credit system schools. The analysis results of this study are as follows.
Firstly, the subject of study among commercial high schools in their third year of conducting the school credit system, were found to have significantly higher level of awareness of the credit system compared to the opposite group.
Secondly, as a result of the satisfaction analysis about the curriculum, it was observed the subject schools showed significantly higher satisfaction overall than the other group, particularly on the detailed items related to employment. From the perspective of the students, the school credit system seems to be satisfactory as they choose the curriculum and decide their career path on their own, and this result is expected to positively contribute to the normalization of public education through increased participation of students in education.
The results of this study, which were derived from conducting a direct survey of students who actually experienced the high school credit system, are expected to play pivotal role as a pioneer and helps predicting the effectiveness and success.
