초록

본 연구의 목적은 미얀마의 섬유 및 패션산업에 대한 교수 및 대학생들의 인식을 살펴보고 패션 관련 고등교육 프로그램의 현황과 수요를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 미얀마 대학생들과 양곤공과대학교 섬유공학과 교수들을 대상으로 인터뷰 및 설문조사를 실시하였다. 한 명의 한국인 교수를 제외하고 교수들은 이메일을 통해 폐쇄형 및 개방형 질문이 포함된 설문지에 응답하였다. 학생 데이터는 온라인 그룹 인터뷰 또는 이메일을 통해 수집되었다. 응답은 키워드 추출 및 분류를 통해 분석되었으며, 미얀마의 고등교육에 대한 일반적인 의견에 대한 폐쇄형 질문에 대해 기술통계분석이 실시되었다. 일반적으로 교수들은 고등교육이 매우 중요하며, 미얀마의 고등교육이 개선될 필요가 있다고 하였으며, 예체능 교육이 매우 중요하고, 예술과 패션을 포함한 문화산업은 미얀마의 사회경제적 발전에 중요하며, 패션산업이 미얀마 경제에 기여하는 바를 고려할 때 패션교육은 중요하다고 답하였다. 미얀마의 패션 산업에 대한 관심은 특히 학생들 사이에서 매우 높았지만 섬유공학 분야 학위 취득에 대한 관심은 제한적이었다. 의류업계의 낮은 임금, 관심이 아닌 학점으로 전공이 결정되는 것, 미얀마의 고등교육 및 패션스쿨 패션학과의 부재 등을 이유로 들었다. 일부에서는 미얀마 대학생들의 교육적 요구에 맞는 패션 학위가 제공되면 이러한 인식이 개선될 것이라고 믿었다. 패션상품개발, 패션디자인, 패턴 메이킹, 패션마케팅, 패션 브랜딩, 패션매니지먼트, 복식사사, 문화연구 분야에서 교육 프로그램에 대한 수요가 높았다. 섬유공학과 학생들은 졸업 후 섬유 및 의류공장을 주요 취업 기회로 인식하였다. 많은 학생들이 더 높은 급여를 받고 더 높은 수준의 지식과 기술을 습득할 수 있기를 기대했기 때문에 글로벌 패션 브랜드에 취직하기를 원했다. 미얀마 패션교육프로그램 개발은 패션 및 패션교육 분야에 대한 관심 증가, 교육을 받을 여력이 없는 학생들에게 학습 기회 제공, 미얀마의 국가 브랜드 개발, 미얀마 패션산업 및 전통 브랜드의 브랜드화 개선 등 다양한 긍정적인 효과가 있을 것으로 기대하였다.

This study examined the perceptions of Myanmar university students and professors regarding the status and necessity of higher education programs in fashion. Data were collected from professors in textile engineering at Yangon Technological University and Myanmar university students. Closed- and open-ended questions were asked either through interviews or by email. The responses were analyzed using keyword extraction and categorization, and descriptive statistics(closed questions). Generally, the professors perceived higher education, as well as the cultural industries including art and fashion, as important for Myanmar's social and economic development. According to the students interests in pursuing a degree in textile were limited, despite the high interest in fashion. Low wages in the apparel industry and lack of fashion degrees that meet the demand of students were cited as reasons. The demand was high for educational programs in fashion product development, fashion design, pattern-making, fashion marketing, branding, management, costume history, and cultural studies. Students expected to find their future career in textiles and clothing factories. Many students wanted to be hired by global fashion brands for higher salaries and training for advanced knowledge and technical skills. They perceived advanced fashion education programs will have various positive effects on Myanmar's national economy.
