Abstract

The 21st century of the 4th industrial revolution demands 'competency' as a new educational concept that is different from that required in the industrialization era. In accordance with these changes and demands of society, universities are being called for key competency-based education and innovation in education through this by breaking away from the existing methods in liberal arts and major education. At this point, universities are presenting a comprehensive reform of liberal arts education for various financial support projects. This study presents the case of University C regarding the reform of the liberal arts curriculum for the innovation of liberal arts education in universities. According to the research results, each university is reorganizing the liberal arts curriculum in a way that can suggest various key competencies according to the university's founding philosophy and induce key competencies in the aspect of liberal arts education. For the key competency-based liberal arts curriculum of University C, we proposed various subjects for insufficient key competency subjects, various micro-degrees were proposed to specialize liberal arts education, and meta-learning-related liberal arts subjects were presented to improve basic learning ability of the students.

4차 산업혁명의 21세기는 산업화 시대에서 요구하던 것과는 다른 '역량'을 새로운 교육적 개념으로 요구하고 있다. 대학에서는 사회의 이러한 변화와 요구에 따라 교양 및 전공 교육에서 기존의 방식을 탈피하여 핵심역량 기반교육과 이를 통한 교육의 혁신을 요구받고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 대학들은 다양한 재정지원사업을 위해 교양교육을 전면적으로 개편하여 제시하고 있다. 본 연구는 대학 교양교육 혁신을 위한 교양 교육과정 개편에 대해 C 대학의 사례를 제시하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 각 대학들은 대학의 설립이념에 따라 다양한 핵심역량을 제시하고 교양교육 측면에서 핵심역량 강화를 유도할 수 있는 방법으로 교양교육과정을 개편하고 있다. C 대학의 핵심역량 기반 교양 교육과정을 위해 부족한 핵심역량 과목을 개발하여 제안하였고, 교양교육 특성화를 위해 다양한 마이크로디그리를 제안하였으며, 학생들의 기초학습능력 향상을 위한 메타학습 관련 교양 교과목을 제시하였다.
