Abstract

At present, universities in Korea are trying to raise the competency of university students by preparing them with abilities and attitudes required in society, and many universities are carrying out "core competency based education." Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the core competencies of students and verify educational performance. M University, which trains students in specialized marine topics, also conducts core competency based education, reflecting the specificity of the university. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a tool to measure the core competencies of M University students. First, preliminary questions were developed based on a literature review. Second, item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were conducted. As a result, six factors were identified. Finally, a total of 50 items were extracted from the final test, and validity was confirmed. The scale developed on the basis of this study can not only diagnose the core competency of students overall but also connect programs by diagnosing individual core competencies. It will be possible to use these results as basic data for honing the differentiated talents of universities specialized in maritime and ocean-related topics.

현재 우리나라의 대학들은 사회에서 요구하는 능력과 태도를 갖추고 이를 준비할 수 있는 인재를 키우기 위해 노력 중이며 이 중 많은 대학들이 핵심역량 기반의 교육을 실시하고 있다. 이에 학생들의 핵심역량을 객관적으로 측정하여 교육성과를 확인할 필요성이 제기되고 있으며 이를 진단할 수 있는 도구들을 개발하고 있다. 전문화된 해양인력을 양성하는 M대학의 경우에도 대학의 특수성을 반영한 핵심역량 기반 교육을 실시하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 M대학의 핵심역량을 측정할 수 있는 도구를 개발하고 이를 타당화 하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 첫째, 문헌고찰을 중심으로 예비문항을 개발하였고, 둘째, 문항분석 및 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 6개의 구성요소를 도출하였다. 마지막으로 최종 검사를 실시하여 총 52개의 문항이 도출되었고 이에 대한 타당성 여부를 확보하였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 개발한 검사 도구는 학생들의 핵심역량 수준을 진단할 뿐만 아니라 개별 핵심역량 수준을 진단하여 프로그램을 연계할 수 있으며, 궁극적으로 해사 및 해양 특성화를 갖춘 대학의 차별화된 인재를 기르기 위한 기초자료로 사용 가능할 것이다.
