Abstract: This study is a plan for reflection on college student writing education and the writing requirements of learners. The purpose is to analyze the educational needs of college students, who are the actual users of college writing education, and to reflect the results in other educational sites actively. In particular, a study was conducted on college students in the basic class, whose writing ability was relatively lower than that of general students. What is particular about this study is that learners were not generally analyzed. This study was conducted within a private university in Korea, and they were first divided into four learning types based on learning motivation and self-control. In addition, by investigating the educational needs according to the four learning types, research was conducted so that they could use them in the educational field in the future. For a systematic study, a questionnaire on learning types and on demand for writing education was produced, and to obtain objective results, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, f-test, Borich requirement formula, and statistical analysis, using The Locus for Focus model, were performed. As a result of the study, meaningful results were derived for each learner type. Reflecting on these research results, the researcher hopes that there will be practices such as developing programs that can write an outline well in writing education, strengthening writing correction education, and expanding engaging writing education using media.
