Abstract

General education of university is facing the problem of failing to perform its original educational function compared to major education. The most urgent step in solving this problem lies in the evaluation of general education, which is currently designed and implemented by each university. Therefore, this study is aimed at developing the evaluation tool for university general education. This study determined the allotting of evaluation tools by verifying the relative importance among the evaluation index through the AHP analysis method, away form the simple list of the evaluation index, which is the limit of the precedent researches. The results of AHP showed that the organization of general education was the most important, while the latter was the implementation and evaluation of general education. The index determined to be the highest weighting of the total 22 indexes was "appropriateness of course organization" with "appropriateness of general education's purpose" being ranked second.

대학의 교양교육은 전공교육에 비해 본래의 교육적 의의를 살리지 못하고 있다는 문제에 직면해 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 가장 시급한 단계는 바로 현재 각 대학이 편성 운영 중인 교양교육에 대한 정확한 진단에서 출발한다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 대학의 교양교육을 평가할 수 있는 교양교육과정 평가도구의 개발에 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 선행연구들이 이론적으로 교양교육과정 평가도구를 단편적으로 나열한 것에서 벗어나, 평가항목 간 상대적 중요도를 AHP 분석기법을 통해 확인함으로써 평가도구의 배점을 결정하였다. AHP 분석 결과 교양교육과정의 편성, 운영, 평가 중 편성의 영역이 가장 중요하다고 나타났으며, 후순위로는 운영과 평가 영역으로 나타났다. 전체 22개 평가 지표 중 가장 높은 가중치로 결정된 지표는 "교과목 편성의 적절성"으로 나타났으며, 2순위로 "교양교육과정 목표의 적절성"이 선정되었다.
