Silla University Operates University-Level 'Student Care Service'

Development of ‘Shilla Kkotpium,’ an Integrated Support Service Connecting Experts for Students Struggling with Campus Life and Academics

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] An integrated educational care support service has been developed to help students who find it difficult to adapt to campus life and academics, drawing attention.

As a university-level student care service rather than for vulnerable groups, its effectiveness is attracting interest amid the overlapping realities of the COVID-19 era.

Shilla University (President Park Tae-hak) announced on the 21st that it is operating the ‘Shilla Kkotpi-um’ service developed for students struggling with university life and academic maladjustment.

‘Shilla Kkotpi-um’ is a service that supports students having difficulties with university life, such as academics and interpersonal relationships, helping them adapt and gain confidence in their studies.

Shilla University developed the integrated educational care support system ‘Shilla Kkotpi-um,’ which diagnoses and provides solutions for various areas of university life including students’ psychological and emotional state, career, social relationships, learning management, and basic major learning competencies, and has been operating it since May.

To enhance the effectiveness of this service, Shilla University established an integrated support system linking the Education Innovation Headquarters with the Student Counseling Center, Teaching and Learning Development Center, and academic departments.

Experts holding top qualifications in relevant fields, such as learning consultants and counseling psychologists, participate to provide systematic and professional student support services.

The Education Innovation Headquarters at Shilla University operates diagnostic and treatment programs upon application by career guidance professors from each department, and has provided this service to about 100 students so far.

Customized services are provided to students using on-campus counseling rooms and classrooms, and non-face-to-face services via telephone counseling and online are also conducted.

A Shilla University official said, “Through this program covering various areas of university life including academics, psychological and emotional well-being, career, and basic learning competencies, we aim to enhance the self-esteem and learning motivation of high-risk students facing the risk of academic dropout.”
