Exploring the Appropriateness of Extra-curricular Mileage: Focusing on the Case of K University

This study aims to propose an evaluation method for the appropriateness of the extracurricular mileage system at K University. To achieve this, analysis criteria were developed based on evaluation standards derived from meta-evaluation through a literature review. As the analysis procedure, some cases of extracurricular mileage systems accessible online from other universities in 2023 or 2024 were collected and analyzed according to the established criteria, and their standardized mileage scores were calculated to conduct a comparative analysis of related areas and items against K University's mileage standards and scoring system. The results indicated a need to strengthen the alignment between extracurricular mileage areas and items and core competencies while introducing greater flexibility in the mileage indicators and scoring criteria. A comparison of standardized scores for relevant items across precedent case universities revealed that K University's mileage scoring criteria are relatively concentrated at lower scores, indicating an overall need for upward adjustment in the scoring standards. Based on these findings, strategies for exploring the appropriateness of extracurricular mileage systems were suggested. This study is significant in that it provides a foundation for evaluating the appropriateness of mileage systems to enhance the quality management of extracurricular programs. However, its reliance on partial data from other universities' extracurricular mileage systems as comparative cases is a limitation of this study. Future research should include a comprehensive and systematic study at the academic association level, incorporating an analysis of actual student performances.
