Abstract

The paradigm of engineering education has evolved from subject-centered learning to student -centered learning. In particular, instructional laboratories can be an essential part of studentcentered learning. The curriculum of instructional laboratories in the departments of materials science and engineering, Yonsei University has been investigated. Student surveys on thecurriculum were also carried out. The curriculum was found to develop after reforming it on the basis of student-centered learning. Student feedback reflects that the new curriculum promoted student's active learning and that student's needs of instructional laboratories were considered in the curriculum.

공학교육의 패러다임은 학습내용, 학습결과 중심의 패러다임에서 학습자, 학습과정 중심의 패러다임으로 변화하고 있고, 이러한 패러다임의 전환에서 실험 교과목은 학습자 중심의 교육을 실현하기에 가장 적합한 교과목이다. 본 연구에서는 학부 2, 3, 4학년 전 과정에 걸친 실험 교과목의 교육과정 개발의 맥락 속에서 2학년 실험 교과목을 전공기초 지식 습득 및 기초실험 능력 배양을 목표로 학습자 중심 교과목으로 교육과정을 개발하고 적용하고자 하였다. 교육과정 개발을 위하여 국내외 우수대학 재료공학과의 실험 교과목을 비교 분석하였고 학생 설문 조사를 실시하여 학생들의 요구를 반영하였다. 개편된 기초실험을 위한 교육과정은 학생들의 요구를 반영한 교육내용으로 학생들의 참여를 독려함으로써 학생들로부터 비교적 긍정적인 피드백을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
