Abstract

This study was conducted to provide a job analysis for, and assess the job performance of horticultural therapists, as well as examine future educational needs. To this end, a chart developed using the DACUM method was chosen as the appropriate tool for the job analysis of horticultural therapists (Study 1). Based on the chart, a survey using an evaluation form was produced to investigate the current level of job performance and future required level of horticultural therapists (Study 2). A total of 8 duties and 45 tasks were classified to examine job performance, based on analysis of the DACUM Council (Study 1). These duties include A. Decide execution organization for horticultural therapy (HT) program, B. Diagnose and assess clients before starting the HT program, C. Plan HT program, D. Develop HT program, E. Prepare to implement HT program for each session, F. Implement HT program for each session, G. Implement overall assessment for HT program, and H. Develop oneself as a horticultural therapist. Their duties were broken down further into five to eight tasks per duty, totaling 45 tasks. Based on the horticultural therapist job performance sheet developed through this process, an assessment of the current job level of horticultural therapists was performed and future required level were examined (Study 2). The evaluation forms were sent to 779 horticultural therapists with level 1 or 2 certification via email or mail delivery. The analysis of 242 questionnaires (31.1%) revealed that horticultural therapists with level 1 certificates have a significantly higher job performance level for 34 of the 45 tasks. Regarding future required level, 20 out of 45 tasks were assessed as higher for level 1 horticultural therapists than level 2. In addition, a Borich formula was utilized to identify the priority of educational needs for the 45 horticultural therapist tasks. The results revealed the following top three tasks: H1. Receive feedback from the supervisor for the horticultural therapy program; A1. Distribute promotional materials about the horticultural therapy program; and H2. Submit a grant proposal for horticultural therapy program to organizations such as welfare foundations. The results of this study are anticipated to facilitate understanding and improve work conditions for current horticultural therapists or horticultural therapists-in-training. In addition, institutions that train horticultural therapists will be able to use this as basic research to develop a practical training curriculum.

본 연구는 원예치료사의 직무분석과 직무수행 평가 및 미래 교육요구를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 원예치료사의 직무 분석에 적합한 방법인 데이컴 기법을 이용하여 원예치료사직무를 정리하는 데이컴 차트를 개발하였으며(연구 1), 이를 근거로 원예치료사 직무수행 평가지를 제작하여 원예치료사들의 현재 직무수행수준과 미래 요구수준을 조사하였다(연구 2). 데이컴 위원회의 데이컴 분석을 통해 원예치료사의 직무는 8개의 임무와 45개의 작업으로 분석되었다(연구 1). 분석된 결과를 임무별로 살펴보면, , , , , , , , 이다. 이들 임무는 각 5-8개의 작업으로 분석되었다. 이상의 과정을 거쳐 개발된 데이컴 차트를 근거로 원예치료사 직무수행평가지를 개발하여 원예치료사들의 현재 직무수준과 미래 요구수준을 조사하였다(연구 2). 원예치료사들의 현재 직무수준과 미래 요구수준을 조사하기 위하여 개발된 평가지는 1, 2급 원예치료사 779명에게 이메일과 우편배송을 이용하여 배부되었으며, 최종으로 회수된 총 242부(31.1%)가 분석에 이용되었다. 현재 직무수행수준에 대한 1급과 2급 원예치료사들의 평가를 살펴보면, 전체 45개 작업중 32개 작업에서 1급 원예치료사들이 2급 원예치료사들보다 현재 직무수행수준을 유의하게 높게 평가하였다. 미래 요구수준 역시, 45개 작업 중 20개 작업들에 대해서 1급 원예치료사들이 2급 원예치료사들 보다 높게 평가하였다. 또한 45개의 원예치료사 작업에 대한 교육요구를 분석하기 위하여 보리치(Borich) 공식을 이용한 결과 상위 1, 2, 3순위는 , , 로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 예비 원예치료사나 현직 원예치료사들의 직무이해와 직무개선에 도움이 될 것이며, 원예치료사를 양성하는 기관은 실무중심 교육과정 개발을 위한 기초 연구 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
