Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand the difficulties they face and to consider practical improvement plans by exploring the experiences of married female graduate students from various backgrounds in the Department of Education at the general graduate school, such as the anxieties, difficulties, and overcoming content between family and study. Methods For 5 married women (two Chinese and three Koreans) who have experienced general graduate school studies in city B, using the narrative inquiry method of Clandinin & Connelly (2000), they experienced graduate school learning and their academic lives as married women at the same time. looked at Data collection was individually conducted through three semi-structured interviews, and three themes were finally derived according to the final result and the proposed research problem through basic coding work. Results First, the married female graduate students were experiencing a lack of time for both work and household chores as well as academic adaptation to overcome academic disconnection during the course of attending graduate school. In addition, they were experiencing the burden of raising children and feeling sorry for them. Second, married women graduate students accepted these difficulties as a daily life and adapted to ‘getting used to’, and at the same time went through the process of finding their own identity, rather getting a driving force for life. Third, married women graduate students said that it was necessary to improve the curriculum suitable for online classes, etc., to understand and consider colleagues, and to provide welfare for married women graduate students at the national level. Conclusions The results of this study will be able to understand the difficulties of married female graduate students as future follow-up research personnel in the Department of Education and provide basic data for improving welfare at the school and national level.
