Abstract

This study investigated the realities of information acquirements and its requirements in the overseas employment and domestic connected education for students at the department of radiation in order to provide basic information for developing the standard educational curriculum for future internationalization in the education of radiation and presenting its direction. The investigation implemented in this study was performed through a questionnaire with 688 students enrolled in the department of radiation. The conclusion of the investigation is summarized as follows : The answers for the question of 'No acquirements in the information of the overseas employment and connected education for radiological technologists' were 487 students (70.8%), and the reason that 'There are no chances in related education' was the highest rate, 424 students (61.6%), of the answers. In the education for the overseas employment, the answers for the question of 'Select a connected education program in school instead of study abroad' were the highest rate, 436 students (63.4%). The most concerned country for the overseas employment was 'Australia', 247 students (35.9%). As a result, answers for the interest, participation, need, and hope for the overseas employment showed high rates even though they demonstrated a low recognition level in the overseas employment. In addition, it is necessary to strategically plan an education program for this issue because all participants agree with the current stream.

본 연구는 우리나라 방사선사의 해외취업 및 국내 연계교육에 대하여 방사선과 재학생의 정보습득 실태와 요구도를 파악하여 향후 방사선과 교육의 국제화를 위한 교육적 개입전략에 대한 방향을 제시하는데 도움이 되는 시사점을 도출하고자 방사선과 재학생 688명에게 설문조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. '방사선사 해외취업이나 이를 위한 연계교육에 관한 정보습득이 없다는 경우'가 487명(70.8%)이고 그 이유로 '교육의 기회가 없기 때문'이 424명(61.6%)으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 해외취업을 위한 교육방법으로 '유학을 하지 않고 학교자체에서 연계하여 실시하는 것을 선택한다'가 436명(63.4%)으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 해외 취업에 대해 관심 있는 국가는 '호주'가 247명(35.9%)으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 해외취업에 대한 인지정도가 낮은 반면에 관심, 필요성, 참여의향, 해외취업 희망 정도는 모두 높은 것으로 나타났다. 국제화 흐름에 본 대상자들도 동감하고 있으므로 이에 대한 교육프로그램을 전략적으로 구상할 필요가 있다고 본다.
