Abstract

A syllabus can be considered to be a masterplan for good educational results. This study tries to diagnose the current status of landscape architectural design education and suggest improvement strategies for better landscape design courses through the analysis of the syllabi of mid-level landscape design studio classes collected from the four-year undergraduate programs. The findings and suggestions are as follows. First, it is necessary to take advantage of a syllabus as a contract as well as a plan and a learning tool. Second, it is crucial to make more detailed statement from the perspectives of learners. Third, more customized components for design courses should be developed; the syllabus should give the structure of a design class as an integration and synthesis of other courses. Fourth, it is necessary to increase the interrelationship and relevance among the components, especially between course objectives and evaluation criteria, and course activities and references. Fifth, a syllabus needs to function as a communication tool in a flexible manner. Sixth, a syllabus needs to give a comprehensive information about the site and the design project. Finally, instructors need to introduce a set of detailed evaluation rubrics or criteria acceptable to students in order to increase the fairness and transparency of the evaluation.

조경교육의 핵심인 설계 교과목의 설계도라고 볼 수 있는 수업계획서는 교육의 목표와 내용, 방법과 효과를 진단할 수 있는 중요한 매체이다. 본 연구는 국내 4년제 대학의 2, 3학년 수준 조경설계 교과목의 수업계획서를 분석하여 설계교육의 현 실태를 진단하고 이를 기반으로 개선방향을 제시하였다. 첫째, 교수와 학생 사이의 계약서이자 학습활동 과정의 설계도와 학습 도구로서의 수업계획서 기능 제고가 절실하다. 둘째, 수업계획서에서 담아야하는 정보의 양을 늘리고 서술의 구체성을 높여 학습자의 수업에 대한 이해도를 증진시켜야 한다. 셋째, 스튜디오 수업의 특수성을 반영할 수 있는 수업계획서의 세부 항목 개발과 상세한 서술이 필요하며 타 과목과의 관련성 속에서 설계스튜디오의 통합적 측면을 조망해줄 필요가 있다. 넷째, 설계수업의 특수성을 고려하여 전통적인 텍스트 중심 외의 다양한 수업 매체와 온라인 방식의 도입을 통해 쌍방향 소통 수업에 대한 고민이 필요하다. 다섯째, 수업계획서 구성 요소들 간의 상호 연관성을 강화해야 한다. 특히 수업목표와 평가기준간의 관련성, 교재 및 참고문헌과 주차별 수업활동과의 관련성이 구체적으로 제시될 필요가 있다. 마지막으로, 학생들이 공감할 수 있는 평가 기준을 상세하게 제시하고, 다양한 평가 방법을 도입하여 평가의 공정성과 투명성을 제고해야 한다.
