Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to measure the awareness and needs for intellectual property (IP) education among university students majoring in health-related fields to inform the development of future IP education curricula. Methods: The study was conducted through an online survey from January 5 to 26, 2024, targeting students from the health-related departments (Department of Physical Therapy, Health Administration, Clinical Laboratory Science, and Dental Hygiene) at Dankook University located in Cheonan City, Chungcheongnam-do. Results: A total of 151 students participated in the survey. Among the respondents, 84.8% were women, and the largest groups of respondents were from the Health Administration and Dental Hygiene departments, each accounting for 32.5%. Only 13.9% of the respondents had taken courses related to IP, and 22.5% had related activity experience. The overall average importance score of IP education was 3.88 (±0.80), and the overall average need score was 3.78 (±0.80). An Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) Matrix analysis revealed that 13 topics fell into the first quadrant (high importance, high need), one topic into the second quadrant (low importance, high need), 18 topics into the third quadrant (low importance, low need), and four topics into the fourth quadrant (high importance, low need). The educational topics identified as first quadrant include 'Securing patent rights', 'Requirements for patent registration', 'Effects and contents of patent rights', 'Patent infringement and remedies', and 'Effects and contents of copyrights'. Conclusions: Future IP education programs should develop innovative educational content and methods that consider both the importance and needs to increase students' interest and engagement.

연구목적: 본 연구는 보건의료계열 전공 대학생들을 대상으로 지식재산 교육에 대한 인식도와 요구도를 측정하여 향후 지식재산 교육 과정 개발 시 반영하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 충청남도 C시에 소재하고 있는 D대학교 보건계열(물리치료학과, 보건행정학과, 임상병리학과, 치위생학과) 재학생을 대상으로 2024년 1월 5일부터 2024년 1월 26일까지 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였고 151명이 설문에 참여하였다. 연구결과: 응답자의 84.8%는 여학생이었으며, 보건행정학과와 치위생학과 전공자가 각 32.5%로 가장 많았다. 응답자의 13.9%만이 지식재산 관련 교과목을 수강한 경험이 있었고, 이와 관련된 활동 경험은 22.5%로 나타났다. 보건계열 대학생의 지식재산 교육 중요도의 평균 점수는3.88(±0.80)점이며, 요구도의 평균 점수는 3.78(±0.80)점이었다. IPA Matrix분석을 실시한 결과, 1사분면(높은 중요도, 높은 요구도)에 13개 주제, 2사분면(낮은 중요도, 높은 요구도)에 1개 주제, 3사분면(낮은 중요도, 낮은 요구도)에 18개 주제, 4사분면(높은 중요도, 낮은 요구도)에 4개 주제가 포함되었다. 1사분면에 위치한 교육 주제는 '특허권 확보', '특허 등록 요건', '특허권의 효력', '특허 침해 및 구제', '저자권의 효력' 등으로 나타났다. 결론: 향후 지식재산 교육과정 운영에서 대학생들의 흥미와 관심을 높일 수 있도록 중요도와 요구도를 고려한 교육 콘텐츠 개발 및 혁신 교육방법이 적용되어야 한다.
