Abstract

Purpose: This study was to evaluate students and optometrist in the importance and difficulty of work capability, and the educational needs for optometric duty in order to use them as basic data for the improvement of the curriculum. Methods: 292 ophthalmic optic's college students and 123 optometrists were surveyed in the importance and difficulty of work capability, and the educational needs for the optometric duty, and data was statistically analyzed for the results. Results: The mean of the importance of work capability was higher for the optometrists (3.61) than for the students (3.51) and glasses dispensing was the highest for both students and optometrists. The mean of the difficulty of work capability was higher for the students (2.75) than for the optometrists (2.67), which was the highest in refraction for the students and in prescription for the optometrists. The mean of educational needs was higher for the optometrists (3.53) than for the students (3.45), which was the highest in glasses dispensing for the students and highest in refraction for the optometrists. There were significant differences in some tasks in between the students by gender, grade and desired working place, while between the optometrists by gender, age, work experience, working place and working area (p<0.05). Conclusions: It is necessary to improve a curriculum of the Department of Opthalmic Optics, and develop a standard curriculum reflected the importance and the difficulty of work capability, and the educational needs regarding to optometric duty.

목적: 안경광학과 재학생과 안경사를 대상으로 안경사의 직무에 관한 작업수행의 중요도와 난이도, 교육의 필요도를 조사하여 교과과정 개선의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 방법: 안경광학과 재학생 292명과 산업체 안경사 123명을 대상으로 안경사 직무에 관한 작업수행의 중요도, 작업수행의 난이도, 교육의 필요도에 관한 설문조사를 실시하고 통계분석을 하였다. 결과: 작업수행의 중요도 평균은 안경사(3.61)가 재학생(3.51)보다 높았고 재학생과 안경사 모두 안경만들기의 중요도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 작업수행의 난이도 평균은 재학생(2.75)이 안경사(2.67)보다 높았으며 재학생은 시력측정을 위한 본 검사, 안경사는 처방의 난이도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 교육의 필요도 평균은 안경사(3.53)가 재학생(3.45)보다 높았고 재학생은 안경만들기, 안경사는 시력측정을 위한 본 검사의 필요도가 가장 높았다. 재학생은 일부 일에서 성별, 학년, 희망진로에 따른 차이가 나타났고 안경사는 성별, 연령, 재직기간, 근무처, 근무지역에 따른 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 결론: 안경사 직무에 관한 작업수행의 중요도와 난이도, 교육의 필요도를 반영한 안경광학과 교과과정 개선과 표준교과과정의 개발이 필요하다.
