Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain the basic data for developing more advanced courses on character education by surveying and analyzing the perception and demands of character education of university students and further, to provide useful information for creating institutional protocol on character education. The study was conducted from April 2018 to May 2018 on students attending the departments of non-health science and health science university students. A total of 206 students participated in this study, and all the students in the non-health science and health science departments were found to be highly aware of the need for character education, its importance and the possibility of personality development through learning. Students from all the departments showed high levels on average in terms of self-understanding according to their personality abilities, and especially their high levels of 'consideration' and 'responsibility'. For the differences in perception of self-efficacy, the lowest level of recognition was for 'will' and the average values were not high. In their response to personality level, all students answered that their personality was 'high' (42.1%), and that the personality education courses at the schools they are currently attending were 'not satisfied' with both the non-health science and health science students. As a result, there were higher results overall for the health science students than that for the non-health science students, but there were not many significant differences. To this end, education institutes will have to prepare conditions for university students to cultivate their expertise in character, while at the same time helping them grow into human beings with the qualities demanded by society. In addition, the government should establish curriculums and content by accurately identifying the needs of character education and devising concrete measures for their implementation, and by more faithfully considering quantitative and qualitative context types for the content base of character education.

본 연구에서는 일개 대학교에 재학 중인 비보건학과와 보건학과계열의 대학생들을 대상으로 인성교육에 대한 인식과 요구도를 조사, 분석하여 보다 발전적인 인성교육의 과정을 개발하는데 기초자료를 마련하고 인성교육을 위한 제도적인 장치 설계에 필요한 유용한 기초정보를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 본 연구는 2018년 4월부터 5월까지 비보건계열과 보건계열학과에 재학하는 학생들을 대상으로 진행하였다. 설문에 참여한 학생은 총 206명으로, 비보건계열, 보건계열 학과 학생 모두 인성교육의 필요성, 중요성, 학습을 통한 인성발달 가능성 등의 항목에서 모두 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 인성역량에 따른 자기이해 수준에서는 모든 학과 학생들이 평균적으로 높게 나타났고, 특히 '배려'와 '책임' 항목에서 높은 수준을 보였다. 자기효능감 인식 차이에서는 '의지'에서 가장 낮은 인식수준을 보였다. 인성수준에 관한 응답에서는 모든 학생에서 본인들의 인성이 '높다' (42.1%)라고 응답을 하였으며, 현재 재학 중인 학교에서의 인성교육과정은 비보건계열과 보건계열 모두 '만족하지 않다'고 나타났다. 결과적으로 보건학과 계열에 재학 중인 학생들이 전체적으로 비보건계열 학생들보다는 높은 결과가 있었지만, 유의한 차이가 많지는 않았다. 이를 위해 학과에 구분 없이 대학생들에게 인성에 관한 전문성을 함양하도록 그 여건을 마련해 주고, 동시에 사회가 요구하는 인성을 갖춘 인재로 성장할 수 있도록 대학에서 체계적인 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이며, 학생들의 인성교육의 요구를 정확하게 파악하고 실천을 위한 구체적인 방안을 마련해야 한다고 본다.
