Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the convergence effects of key vocational competency on career decision making in dental hygiene students. To this end, 196 students with an experience of clinical field training, who were enrolled in the department of dental hygiene in universities of Busan and Ulsan area. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, correlation analysis and linear regression analysis using SPSS 24.0 program. The subjects' awareness level of key vocational competency was 3.38 points, while that of career decision making was 3.30 points. Among the sub-factors of key vocational competency, the awareness level of professional ethics was 3.46 points, which was the highest. As factors of key vocational competency affecting career decision making, interpersonal skills(p<0.01), skills for understanding groups(p<0.01), resource management skills(p<0.01), self-development skills(p<0.05), problem-solving skills(p<0.05), and mathematical skills(p<0.05) were found to be significant. It is necessary to make student individual, departmental, and university level convergence efforts and to develop curriculum so that dental hygiene education can help students equip with the key vocational competency as well as major competency.
