Abstract

This study examined the relationships and characteristics between generic skills and individual variables. The data from 187 students at a Korean university that participated in the Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes (AHELO) feasibility study were utilized. The results indicated that there were no differences in generic skills according to gender, age, and grade point average (GPA). The field of study was the only variable showing a statistically significant difference in generic skills among the three groups. As a result of cluster analysis, four groups were formed based on the characteristics of generic skills. No differences in generic skills were observed among the four groups according to gender, age, and field of study. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant difference in generic skills among the four groups according to the GPA.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생 개인 변인에 따른 일반핵심능력의 차이 및 특성을 분석하고, 일반핵심능력 강화를 위한 대학교육의 질적 제고 및 책무성 강화방안을 모색하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 AHELO 실행가능성 평가에 응시한 A대학교 학생 187명의 일반핵심능력 평가 결과를 활용하여 일반핵심능력의 기술통계를 살펴보고, 학점과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한 성별, 나이, 계열, 학점에 따른 일반핵심능력의 차이를 분석하고, 군집 분석을 실시하여 일반핵심능력 특성에 따라 유형화 하였다. 성별, 나이, 학점에 따른 일반핵심능력의 차이에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 계열에 따른 일반 핵심능력의 차이에서만 차이가 나타났는데 객관식 총점, 수행과제 총점, 문제해결능력, 분석적 추론 능력, 글쓰기 능력에서 인문사회계열 학생의 평균이 이공계열 학생보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 일반핵심능력의 특성에 따라 네 가지 그룹으로 유형화한 후 성별, 나이, 계열, 학점에 따른 군집의 일반핵심능력 차이를 살펴 본 결과, 성별, 나이, 계열에 따라 군집간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 학점에 따라서는 군집간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다.
