Domestic Research Trends on Grit

The purpose of this study is to derive the implications of Grit research by analyzing domestic research trends on Grit, which is a non-cognitive subject that has been actively researched in Korea recently in order to grasp the achievements so far and to seek directions for research. The analysis method was analyzed according to the pre-set criteria (annual publication status, research subject, research method, research topic, etc.) which were focusing on KCI listed and KCI excellent Grit papers among domestic academic papers of 'RISS'. As a result of the study, from 2013 to 2019, a total of 203 papers were searched and published in 92 domestic journals. Beside that, the subjects of the study, 88 cases (43.35%) were college students and 180 cases (88.67%) were quantitative studies as the research method. So, the most common research method was quantitative research. As a quantitative research method, the structural relationship between Grit and other variables, mediating effect, difference verification, and moderation effect verification were shown in order, and qualitative research has been conducted since 2017 to develop the concept of Grit, the Grit scale, and the corresponding factor structure and validity. This study will contribute to the educational field by presenting the implications of research on the development of Grit in Korea.
