Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate students and optometrist opinion of the usefulness of different subjects of optometry curriculum.This date will then be used as base-line data during a process of curriculum development Methods: 292 of ophthalmic optic's students and 123 of optometrists were surveyed in the usefulness of curriculum (five-point scale) followed by statistical analysis of the results. Results: Optometrists gave a higher average score for curriculum usefulness (3.89) than the students (3.71). The subject which showed the highest usefulness for the student was optometry (4.55) but clinical practice was the highest for the optometrist (4.48). There was significant differences (p<.05) on optics, ophthalmology, basic science, optometrist related subject and foreign language but optometry and contact lenses showed high usefulness in common without significant difference. The usefulness of subject for the student showed significant difference according to gender, grade, age, and desired working place and has demonstrated significant difference depend on gender, age, scholarship, total working experience as an optometrist, workplace, and position for optometrists as well. Conclusions: It is necessary to continue research for the development of standard and bench-marked curriculum for ophthalmic optics and also the curriculum, which reflecting the usefulness and needs obtained from ophthalmic optics' students and optometrists need to be developed.

목적: 안경광학과 재학생과 안경사를 대상으로 안경광학과 교과과정 분야별 유용도를 조사하여 교과과정 개발에 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 방법: 안경광학과 재학생 292명과 산업체 재직 안경사 123명을 대상으로 교과과정 유용도(5점 척도)에 관한 설문조사를 실시하고 통계분석을 하였다. 결과: 교과과정 유용도의 평균은 안경사(3.89)가 재학생(3.71)보다 높았다. 재학생의 교과과정 분야별 유용도는 검안학분야가 가장 높았고(4.55) 안경사는 임상실습분야가 가장 높았다(4.48). 재학생과 안경사의 분야별 교과목의 유용도는 안광학분야, 안과학분야, 안경학분야, 전공기초분야, 안경사관련분야, 외국어분야에서 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 있었으나 검안학분야와 콘택트렌즈분야는 유의한 차이 없이 공통적으로 유용도가 높았다. 재학생의 교과목 유용도는 성별, 학년, 연령, 희망진로에 따른 유의한 차이가 나타났으며 안경사의 교과목 유용도는 성별, 연령, 학력, 경력, 근무처, 직위에 따른 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 결론: 안경광학과 표준교과과정을 위한 연구가 지속되어야 하며 재학생과 안경사의 교과과정에 대한 유용도와 요구가 반영된 교과과정의 개발이 필요하다.
