Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the competencies required for fashion-related majors that meet contemporary demands, align with the objectives of university education, and reflect the qualities desired in graduates. To achieve this goal, we conducted content analysis of relevant data and in-depth interviews with experts. First, the content analysis involved coding key information from the introductions, educational goals, desired qualities of graduates, and curricula published on the websites of both South Korea and international fashion-related universities. Additionally, we analyzed the National Competency Standards (NCS) and the Meta-goals of higher education programs set by the International Textile Apparel Association (ITAA), extracting six core competencies. Second, in-depth interviews were conducted with six experts, each with 23 to 31 years of experience in Korean and international apparel industry and academia. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and keywords were extracted. To ensure the validity of the coding results, cross-checks were performed among the researchers. The analysis identified the following competencies: empathic communication, social responsibility, professional thinking, creative and integrative thinking, global perspective, and challenging leadership. Based on these findings, establishing competencies that meet contemporary demands and developing corresponding curricula are essential steps towards creating a feedback system. Future research should focus on developing and implementing curricula that foster a virtuous cycle, ultimately enhancing students' competency levels.

본 연구의 목적은 시대적 요구와 대학교육의 목적 및 인재상에 부합하는 패션디자인 및 머천다이징 전공역량을 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 자료에 대한 내용분석과 전문가 심층면접을 진행하였다. 첫째, 자료의 내용분석은 국내외 패션 관련 전공학교의 홈페이지에 공개된 학과소개, 교육목표, 인재상, 교육과정 등의 내용은 물론, 국가직무능력표준(National Competency Standards, NCS)과 미국 의류학회(International Textile Apparel Association, ITAA)의 고등교육프로그램 Meta-goal의 내용을 키워드 중심으로 코딩한 후 여섯 개의 핵심역량을 추출하였다. 둘째, 전문가 심층면접은 국내외 의류업체와 학계에 종사 중인 경력 23년에서 31년 사이의 전문가 6인을 대상으로 진행하였다. 면접 내용은 녹화하여 전사한 후 핵심어를 도출하였으며, 산출한 코딩 결과의 적절성을 확보하자 연구원 간 교차점검을 실시하였다. 분석결과 도출된 전공역량은 다음과 같다: 공감소통, 사회적 책임, 전문가적 사고, 창의융합적 사고, 글로벌, 도전적 리더. 이를 바탕으로 시대적 요구에 부합하는 역량 설정과 이를 달성하기 위한 교육과정 수립은 환류 체계 구축을 위한 중요한 시도로 향후 교육과정의 개발 및 실행, 학생들의 전공역량 수준 향상이 이루어지는 선순환 구조를 위한 후속 연구 진행이 필요하다.
