초록

이 연구는 지식 정보화 시대에 인적자원을 효과적으로 개발 선도하도록 국가기술자격제도에 있어서 검정방법을 개선하는데 목적이 있다. 이 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 국가기술자격 검정방법의 변천내용과 방향의 적합성에 대해서 살펴보았으며, 주요국의 검정방법과 국내 외 컴퓨터화된 검정방법의 적용실태를 분석하였다. 아울러 현재 국가기술자격 기능장, 기사, 산업기사, 기능사 검정방법의 문제점과 검정인프라의 문제점을 알아보았다. 이를 바탕으로 검정방법의 개선 방안과 이를 위한 검정 인프라 구축 방안을 제시하였다. 연구방법으로 관련자료의 수집 및 분석, 4차에 걸친 전문가 협의회 개최, 국가기술자격 검정방법 실태 및 요구분석을 위하여 기능장, 기사, 산업기사, 기능사 자격취득자를 대상으로 2,500명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하여 의견을 수렴하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 기능장, 기사 산업기사 기능사 검정방법의 개선 방안, 제도적인 면과 운영적인 측면에서의 검정 인프라 구축 방안에 대해서 살펴보았다.

Due to developments in information technology and ensuing changes in the concept of time and space, the significance of national boundaries has been weakened, bringing to attention the heightened competition among nations. In order to respond to these transformations, the Korean government is increasing its efforts to raise the authenticity of the National Technology Qualification System(NTQS) by closely linking NTQS testing method and procedure to practical knowledge and skills in the industry field. This initiative is based on the recognition that the human resources development is a crucial factor in determining a nation's competitiveness. This study aimed, first of all, to diagnose the problems directly and indirectly affecting the testing method in the current NTQS. And then, differentiated solutions according to grade and improvements in the testing infrastructure were suggested. The ultimate purpose was to provide a blueprint for enhancing national competitiveness through increased authenticity and efficiency of the NTQS. Research methods applied during this study include: the collection and review of qualification-related literature; a series of conferences with leading experts; interviews with vocational educators and researchers from qualification-related institutes; a survey of national qualification holders from a variety of professions and industries; and participatory observation at qualification exam centers. This research suggested policy recommendations as follows; First, measures to improve for testing method of professional engineer Second, measures to improve for testing method of Master craftsman Third, measures to improve for testing method of Engineer, Industrial Engineer, Craftsman Fourth, plans for the establishment of operation system for a computerized testing Fifth, institutional perspective on establishing qualification infrastructure Sixth, operational perspective on establishing qualification infrastructure
