Abstract

This study aimed to develop an educational program for improving the learning competencies of major courses for Chinese graduate students who account for more than 70% of international students in Korea. In this study, the program was developed using Caffarella and Daffron's interactive model. Due to the internationalization of education, the number of foreigners who study in Korea for degree courses has already exceeded 100,000, but the dropout rate has increased due to the maladjustment to university life. More specifically, they face difficulties in academic achievement because of a lack of understanding lecture contents, conducting research, and presenting in class. Therefore, this study surveyed the Chinese students in the graduate course to identify the difficulties and needs in their study of major courses and to reflect those needs (major knowledge, communication, assignment writing, and presentation) in program development. This study focused on developing an educational program for improving their learning competencies of major courses rather than simply improving Korean language skills or adapting to university life. The results of the study are expected to help Chinese Graduate students perform well in their major course studies and make their study abroad successful.

이 연구는 우리나라에서 외국인 유학생의 70% 이상의 비율을 차지하는 중국인 유학생을 대상으로 이들의 전공학습역량 향상을 위해 교육 프로그램을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 교육의 국제화로 한국에 체류하며 학위과정에 있는 외국인 수는 이미 10만 명을 돌파하였으나, 이들은 대학생활의 부적응으로 중도탈락자가 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며 특히 학업에서 강의내용의 이해부족, 연구수행과 발표 능력의 부족으로 인한 학업 성취도 저하의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 대학원 과정에 있는 중국인 유학생들의 전공학습역량을 강화할 수 있도록 Caffarella와 Daffron의 상호 작용모델을 활용하여 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 중국인 대학원생들을 대상으로 학업 측면에서의 어려움과 구체적인 요구를 파악하고자 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 도출된 요구(전공지식, 의사소통, 과제작성, 발표)를 반영하여 전공학습역량 향상을 위한 교육 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 연구에서는 단순한 한국어 능력 향상이나 대학생활 적응을 위한 교육 프로그램이 아닌 전공학습을 지원할 수 있는 교육 프로그램 개발에 중점을 두었다. 이 연구의 결과는 중국인 대학원생이 전공에 대한 학업을 잘 수행함으로써 한국에서의 유학생활을 원만하게 이수하는데 도움이 될 수 있으며, 향후 중국인 유학생을 위한 구체적인 교과목 및 교육과정개발과 운영을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
