Abstract

The purpose of our study is to confirm the usefulness of our new youth entrepreneurship program. In this study, I suggest design thinking as a new Youth entrepreneurship program which is consist of 9 dimensions: opportunity discovery, opportunity utilization, creativity capacity, career preparation behavior, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial intention, self-preservation, social problem solving, and educational program objectives. To verify this new program, I conduct a pilot test in middle school and high school; the sample target is randomly selected one class in each school. My main finding is two. First, our new program successfully improves Youth entrepreneurship. Particularly, the improvement of opportunity utilization and entrepreneurial intention are prominent. As reasons, studies about food industry entrepreneurship is an unfamiliar subject for adolescent. Considering that entrepreneurial intention rapidly changes after the experience of entrepreneurial education, researchers need to focus on this variable. Second, I confirm the effects of gender, motivation, prior experience, interest oneself and other's recommendation about the entrepreneurship program. As a result, gender and prior experience do not have an important influence. On the other hand, voluntary interest and other's recommendation are influential. The most important factor is the influence of a teacher. Therefore, researchers need to examine the more specific mechanism of each dimension in the future.

본 연구는 청소년 대상 기업가정신 교육의 효과성을 구체적으로 살펴보고 이의 수준을 제고 하기 위한 교육 방법론을 탐색하는데 주된 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 '식품(푸드)'을 주제로 '디자인 씽킹' 기반의 기업가정신 교육을 경기도 소재 중학교 및 고등학교 각 1개교에서 재학생들을 대상으로 실시하였다. 선행연구를 통해 기업가정신교육 효과성 측정에서 강조되는 9가지 영역(기회발견, 기회 활용, 창의성 역량, 진로준비 행동, 기업가정신, 창업 의지, 셀프리더십, 사회적 문제해결력, 교육프로그램 목표)을 기초로 '청소년기업가정신교육' 효과성 측정을 위한 탐색적 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 디자인씽킹을 활용한 청소년기업가정신교육 후 9개 차원의 모든 측정값이 통계적으로 유의미하게 높아졌는데, 특히 '기회 활용' 차원과 '창업 의지' 차원이 가장 높게 상승했다. '기회 활용' 차원이 유의미하게 두드러진 배경에는, 금번 교육에 참여한 학생들이 '디자인 씽킹' 방법론을 '식품(푸드)' 이라는 구체적인 비즈니스 주제와 결합하여 적용한 실제적 경험을 처음 해보았기 때문에 보인 반응으로 추론된다. '창업 의지'의 경우는 선행연구에서와 같이 교육 참여 여부 또는 경험에 따라 변화의 정도가 가장 큰 만큼, 향후 '청소년기업가정신교육'의 효과성에서 중요한 변수로 다루어져야 함을 확인하였다. 둘째, 9개 차원에 대한 교육 효과분석을 위해 성별, 수강 동기별, 창업동아리 경험 여부 등 응답자특성별로 분석했다, 그 결과 종합지수의 경우 성별, 학교, 기업가정신교육참여 경험 여부에 상관없이 사전-사후 측정값이 통계적으로 유의미하게 상승했다. 특히 수강동기별로 살펴보면 본인 관심과 주위 추천이 통계적으로 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 이 결과에 대한 해석을 위해 교육이 수행되었던 학교의 교사를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 실시한 결과 학생들이 자율적으로 참여하는 동아리 활동에 교사의 영향력(추천)이 크기 때문으로 판단했다. 향후 연구에서는 기업가정신교육이 9개 차원에 어떠한 경로로 영향을 미쳤는지 경로 메커니즘에 관한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.
