Abstract

Life competencies most required for university students, who receive a higher education and prepare to go into society, are job competencies. People with a variety of competencies are needed in the job market in a globally-oriented 21st-Century knowledge-based society. Now that raising competent people who have a high level of job competency is regarded as one of university functions, a way to improve job competencies through university education needs to be investigated. This study proposes a convergence education system to improve job competencies. The convergence education system includes five type of convergence: convergence in major fields of study, convergence in education courses, convergence in education space, convergence in education methods, and convergence in education period. This education system is expected to improve a variety of job competencies including cognitive competencies, non-cognitive competencies, and global competencies.

사회진출을 앞두고 고등교육을 받는 대학생 단계에서 가장 요구되는 생애역량은 직업역량 이다. 21세기 지식기반사회의 직업 현장에서는 다양한 능력을 보유한 인재가 요구된다. 이제는 직업역량이 높은 인재를 양성하는 것이 대학 기능 중의 하나로 간주되므로 대학교육을 통해 직업역량을 높이는 방안이 연구되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 직업역량을 강화시키는 것을 목적으로 하는 융복합형 교육시스템을 제안한다. 이 교육시스템은 융복합 전공교육, 교육과정의 융합, 교육공간의 융합, 교육방식의 융합, 교육기간의 융합을 포함하고 있다. 이런 융복합 교육시스템을 통해 인지적 역량, 비인지적 역량, 글로벌 역량을 포함한 다양한 직업역량을 강화시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
