초록

본 연구는 국내 이공계 대학 유학생들의 전공기초 학습 경험을 탐색하여 유학생들이 이공계 학부 과정을 이수하는데 실제로 필요로 하는 것이 무엇인지 살펴보고 국내 이공계 대학의 교육 경쟁력 강화를 위한 시사점을 제공하고자 수행되었다. 연구 대상은 국내 이공계 대학에 재학 중인 유학생 7명이며, 출신 국가는 중국, 베트남, 우즈베키스탄, 말레이시아 등 4개국이다. 연구자는 자발적인 참여 의사를 밝힌 유학생 7명에 대하여 서답형 설문 조사를 실시하였으며, 이 중 4명에 대해서는 개별적인 심층 면담도 진행하였다. 면담 시간은 30분에서 1시간 정도 소요되었으며, 반구조화된 면담 기법을 활용하였다. 면담 내용은 참여자들의 동의 하에 모두 녹음되었으며, 녹음된 자료는 전사하여 면담노트와 함께 관리되었다. 전사된 자료는 연속 비교법의 단계에 따른 부호화 및 범주화 과정을 토대로 분석하였으며, 그 결과, 이공계 전공기초 과목 수강에 따른 한국어 능력 부족으로 인한 문제, 전공기초 과목에서 등장하는 용어나 개념 이해의 문제, 전공기초 과목의 보충학습 방법, 전공기초 교육프로그램 개설의 필요성 및 대학의 관심과 지원 요청 등의 네 가지 주제들이 도출되었다.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the foreign students' learning experiences in natural science basic course at college of engineering in Korea. The subjects were 7 but 4 students took part in the semi-structured interview. All of the interviews were recorded, and the recorded material was transferred and kept. The transcripts were analyzed in a qualitative method. The researchers answered the questionnaire to 7 foreign students who voluntarily participated in the study, and 4 in-depth interviews were also conducted. The interview took 30 minutes to 1 hour, and semi - structured interviewing technique was used. The contents of the interviews were all recorded with the consent of the participants, and the recorded materials were transferred and managed with the interview notes. The transferred data were analyzed based on the coding and categorization process according to the step of the continuous comparison method. The results of this study is the following. There are four themes; problems due to lack of Korean language ability when taking basic courses; problems of terms and concept understanding in major courses; supplementary learning methods of basic courses; necessity of natural science basic education program and requirement of support of the university.
