우리나라 항공인력양성 사업의 평가지표 개발에 관한 연구

Aviation industry is known as the knowledge-based one and as an advanced nations' exclusive property having a large capacity for creating job and added value. Considering the current status of the aviation industry as aforesaid, it is natural for all countries to turn their attention to such promising aviation industry. At the time of rapid growth in aviation market, the importance of securing managerial experts and technicians is being under the spotlight as the aviation profession is increasingly in demand. To meet such dire needs that have already become an ever-greater part of the industry, collaboration among governmental, educational and industrial parties has formed in preparation for putting us into so-called an era of globalization. Having recognized the significance of the program, carried forward by The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, fostering human resources in civil aviation, the objective of this study lies on deloping indicators for the programofficially designed to produce men of expertise in international air transport, the market of which forms nowadays a large part of national economy, and the technology of which develops so quickly. In this paper, an effort is made to develop the appraisal indicators and to set up standards thereof in order for the program to be systematically and expertly assessed on the basis of Quinn and Rohrbaugh's the competing values model. Firstly, this paper designs appraisal indicators, taking into account the peculiarity and environment of air transport industry, for developing human resources in civil aviation by utilizing advanced research on educational assessment in general due to the absence of applicable preceding studies regarding the development of human resources in civil aviation. Secondly, investigations into the necessity and validity of the appraisal are committed by analyzing answers from 100 respondents to questionaires and oral surveys in order to verify appraisal indicators designed in accordance with the competing values model. Lastly, the paper analyzes in a demographical way discrepancy in the recognitions among institutions for which the respondents work, on the basis of the outcome of the survey. As a result, the discrepancy is found not significant, which indicate that the aviation experts favour the indicators as appraisal standards. Prospective studies on the same issue may need an in-depth analysis, empowered by sufficient sampling in balance, of correlation between independent variables, then hopefully serve as a momentum for advancement of study in civil aviation.

항공 산업은 고용창출 효과가 크고 고부가 가치인 선진국 형 지식기반 산업으로 평가되는 대표적 산업이다. 이러한 시대흐름에 따라 전 세계가 잠재적 경제력의 한축인 항공 산업에 눈을 돌리고 있는 것도 어찌 보면 당연한 일이 아닐 수 없다. 이와 같은 배경 하에 본 연구는 국토해양부에서 범정부적으로 추진 중인 항공인력양성사업의 중요성을 인식하고 급속히 발전하는 항공기술에 대처할 수 있는 항공우주기술 인력 및 잠재적 경제력의 한 축인 항공시장의 전문지식과 실무능력을 겸비한 국제항공 전문가를 석사급 인력을 국내 특성화 대학을 선정 지원하여 항공인력을 양성하는 사업의 평가지표를 개발하는 데 그 필요성을 인식하고, 항공전문가의 검토를 통한 타당성 검증 결과를 도출하였다.
