A Review of Research Studies on Student Affairs from the Student’s Perspective
In 2000, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science ＆ Technology announced "Enrichment of Student Life in Universities － Development of Universities in Support of Students" (HIRONAKA Report) that emphasized the importance of "student's perspective". However, in the stream of research on student affairs, the concept of "student's perspective" is not necessarily clear. The purpose of this paper is to review research studies on student affairs from the perspective of students especially by focusing on the survey methodology and the analytical framework. As a result, the importance of constructing the integrated framework of student affairs for supporting them effectively is shown because issues and worries students face are wide and varied.
