Abstract
Purpose: By investigating the characteristics of the students ophthalmic optics under bachelor's degree course in academic credit bank system, this study aimed to utilize this survey as a basic material for the operation and the improvement of academic credit bank system as the continued education for opticians. Methods: A questionnaire survey for the characteristics of the students was conducted on 98 bachelors who registered in the academic credit bank system and an analysis was made out of the result. Results: As the purpose of selecting the academic credit bank system, acquisition of bachelor's degree took the major portion (51.0%); for information route, school or superior at work took the major portion (33.7%); and for educational institution, alma mater took the major portion (31.6%). Family cooperation (72.4%) to the students in the academic credit bank system was higher than workplace cooperation (46.9%) or social cooperation (39.8%). For the time required for the bachelor's degree course in the academic credit bank system, 2 semesters (55.6%) took the major portion, and 38.9% for entering graduate school and 5.6% for university transfer. The result showed a significant difference in the information route for the academic credit bank system (p<.05), selection criteria for educational institution (p<.05) and workplace cooperation (p<.01) depending on the age. It showed a significant difference in the selection purpose for the academic credit bank system (p<.01), average attendance day (p<.05), workplace cooperation (p<.01) and difficulties (p<.01) depending on working place. It showed a significant difference in the selection criteria for educational institution (p<.01) and family cooperation (p<.05) depending on the academic system of their alma mater. It showed a significant difference in the information route (p<.05), the selection criteria for educational institution (p<.01) and workplace cooperation (p<.05). Conclusions: It is necessary for optometrists to study and pay more attention to continuing education, and the operation and support for the academic credit bank system should be made in consideration of the characteristics of students.
목적: 학점은행제 학사학위과정 안경광학전공 학습자를 대상으로 학습자 특성을 조사하여 안경사 계속교육으로서의 학점은행제 운영과 개선의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 방법: 학점은행제에 학습자로 등록한 전문학사 98명을 대상으로 학습자 특성에 관한 설문조사를 하고 통계분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 학점은행제 선택 목적은 학사취득(51.0%)이 많았고, 정보경로는 학교 또는 직장선배(33.7%), 학점은행제 교육기관은 모교(31.6%)가 가장 많았다. 학점은행제 학습자에 대한 가족협조(72.4%)가 직장협조(46.9%)나 사회적 협조(39.8%)보다 높았다. 학점은행제 학사학위과정에 소요된 기간은 2학기(55.6%)가 가장 많았고 대학원 진학은 38.9%, 4년제 대학편입은 5.6%이다. 연령에 따라 학점은행제 정보경로(p<.05)와 교육기관 선택기준(p<.05), 직장협조(p<.01)에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 현재 근무처에 따라 학점은행제 선택 목적(p<.01)과 평균 등교일수(p<.05), 직장협조(p<.01), 어려운 점(p<.01)에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 출신 전문대학 학제에 따라 교육기관 선택기준(p<.01)과 가족협조(p<.05)에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 전문대학 졸업 후 학점은행제를 시작한 시기에 따라 정보경로(p<.05)와 교육기관 선택기준(p<.01), 직장협조(p<.05)에 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 결론: 안경사들의 계속교육에 관한 관심과 연구가 필요하며 학습자의 특성을 고려한 학점은행제의 운영과 지원이 필요하다.
