Abstract

To train the manpower to meet the requirements of the industrial field, the introduction of the National Qualification Frameworks(hereinafter referred to as NQF) was determined in 2001 by National Competency Standards(hereinafter referred to as NCS) centrally of the Office for Government Policy Coordination. Also, for landscape architecture in the construction field, the "NCS -Landscape Architecture" pilot was developed in 2008 to be test operated for 3 years starting in 2009. Especially, as the 'realization of a competence-based society, not by educational background' was adopted as one of the major government projects in the Park Geun-Hye government(inaugurated in 2013) the NCS system was constructed on a nationwide scale as a detailed method for practicing this. However, in the case of the NCS developed by the nation, the ideal job performing abilities are specified, therefore there are weaknesses of not being able to reflect the actual operational problem differences in the student level between universities, problems of securing equipment and professors, and problems in the number of current curricula. For soft landing to practical curriculum, the process of clearly analyzing the gap between the current curriculum and the NCS must be preceded. Gap analysis is the initial stage methodology to reorganize the existing curriculum into NCS based curriculum, and based on the ability unit elements and performance standards for each NCS ability unit, the discrepancy between the existing curriculum within the department or the level of coincidence used a Likert scale of 1 to 5 to fill in and analyze. Thus, the universities wishing to operate NCS in the future measuring the level of coincidence and the gap between the current university curriculum and NCS can secure the basic tool to verify the applicability of NCS and the effectiveness of further development and operation. The advantages of reorganizing the curriculum through gap analysis are, first, that the government financial support project can be connected to provide quantitative index of the NCS adoption rate for each qualitative department, and, second, an objective standard is provided on the insufficiency or sufficiency when reorganizing to NCS based curriculum. In other words, when introducing in the subdivisions of the relevant NCS, the insufficient ability units and the ability unit elements can be extracted, and the supplementary matters for each ability unit element per existing subject can be extracted at the same time. There is an advantage providing directions for detailed class program and basic subject opening. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Employment and Labor must gather people from the industry to actively develop and supply the NCS standard a practical level to systematically reflect the requirements of the industrial field the educational training and qualification, and the universities wishing to apply NCS must reorganize the curriculum connecting work and qualification based on NCS. To enable this, the universities must consider the relevant industrial prospect and the relation between the faculty resources within the university and the local industry to clearly select the NCS subdivision to be applied. Afterwards, gap analysis must be used for the NCS based curriculum reorganization to establish the direction of the reorganization more objectively and rationally in order to participate in the process evaluation type qualification system efficiently.

산업현장의 변화와 요구에 부응할 수 있는 인력을 체계적으로 양성하기 위하여 2001년에 국무조정실을 중심으로 NCS(National Competency Standards, 이하 NCS)와 국가자격체제(National Qualification Frameworks, 이하 NQF)의 도입이 결정되었다. 건설분야 내 조경 역시 2008년 "국가직무능력표준(NCS) -조경"이 시범 개발되어 2009년부터 3년간 시범운영되었다. 특히 2013년 출범한 박근혜 정부의 주요 국정과제 중 하나로 '학벌이 아닌 능력 중심의 사회 구현'이 채택되면서, 이를 실천하기 위한 구체적인 수단으로 NCS 체제 구축이 전국적으로 확산되고 있는 시점이다. 그러나 국가에서 개발한 NCS의 경우, 이상적인 직무수행능력을 명시하였기 때문에 각 대학의 학생수준의 차이, 기자재와 교수들의 확보문제, 현행교육과정의 시수 문제 등 실질적인 운영상의 문제점을 반영하지 못한 단점이 있으므로, 이를 현실적인 교육과정에 연착륙시키기 위해서는 현재의 교육과정과 NCS와의 차이 즉 갭(gap)을 명확히 분석하는 과정이 선행되어야 한다. 갭분석은 기존의 교육과정을 NCS 기반 교육과정으로 개편하기 위한 초기 단계의 방법론으로 NCS 능력단위별 능력단위요소와 수행준거를 기준으로 학과 내 기존 교육과정과의 괴리도 혹은 일치 정도를 1에서 5까지 리커트 척도를 활용하여 기입한 후 분석하는 방법이다. 이처럼 현재의 대학 내 교육과정과 NCS와의 일치 및 괴리 정도를 측정함으로써 향후 NCS 운영을 희망하는 대학에서는 NCS의 적용 가능성과 개발 운영 이후의 효과성을 검증할 수 있는 기초 도구를 확보할 수 있다. 갭분석을 통한 교육과정 개편의 장점으로는 첫째, 정부의 재정지원 사업과 연계하여 정성적인 학과별 NCS 도입률에 대한 정량적 지표를 제공할 수 있으며, 둘째, NCS 기반 교육과정 개편 시 부족한 혹은 포화상태인 부분에 대한 객관적인 기준을 제공해 준다. 즉, 해당 NCS 세분류 도입 시 부족한 능력단위 및 능력단위요소를 추출할 수 있으며, 기존 과목별 능력단위요소별로 보완 사항도 추출할 수 있는 동시에, 이를 통한 상세 강의계획서 및 기초 교과목 개설을 위한 방향성을 제시해 주는 장점이 있다. 다만, 현재까지 개발된 갭분석의 이론을 보완하여 보다 체계적으로 정비해야 하는 과제는 남아 있다. 교육부, 고용노동부는 산업현장의 요구를 교육훈련 및 자격에 체계적으로 반영하기 위해 관련 산업계 인사들이 모여 실무적인 차원에서 NCS 표준을 적극적으로 개발하고 보급하여야 하며, NCS 적용을 희망하는 대학에서는 일과 자격이 연계될 수 있는 교육과정을 NCS 기반으로 개편하여야 할 것이다. 이를 위해 대학에서는 관련 산업 전망 및 대학 내 교수자원과 지역 산업과의 관련성을 고려하여 적용하고자 하는 NCS 세분류를 명확히 선정하여야 할 것이다. 이후 NCS 기반 교육과정 개편을 위해 갭분석을 사용하여 개편의 방향과 기준을 보다 객관적이고 합리적으로 수립하여 교육과정명세서에 대한 명확한 논리적 근거를 확보하고 있어야 과정이수형 자격제도에 효율적으로 동참할 수 있을 것이다.
