ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to empirically examine the structural relationships among academic adjustment ability, social capital, basic psychological need at school, and 21C student competencies perceived by college students. A total of 576 college students from H University in Korea participated in this study. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and structural equation model fitness tests were performed by using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 22.0. First, the results of the correlations analysis showed that there were statistically significant positive correlations among measured variables. Second, the results of the path and SEM model fit tests showed that all the model fit indices of χ2/df, TLI, CFI, RMSEA were met the acceptable criteria and shown to be a suitable model structure. Finally, the results demonstrated strong evidence for mediating effects of social capital and basic psychological need on 21C student competencies. The implications of this study were provided.
