The National Cyber Capability Assessment(NCCA) could be used as meaningful information for improving national cyber security policy because it provides information on the elements necessary for strengthening national cyber capabilities and the level of each country. However, there were few studies on improving cyber capabilities using the NCCA result in Korea. Therefore, we analyzed the result of National Cyber Power Index(NCPI) conducted by Belfer Center of Harvard Univ. by applying modified-IPA method to derive cybersecurity policy agendas for Korea. As a result, the need to set agendas on surveillance and offensive cyber capability and improve the effectiveness of policy implementation for intelligence and defense was drawn. Moreover, we suggested need for in-depth study of each policy agenda deduced from preceding research data as a future tasks. And it is expected to increase practical use of NCCA for domestic policy analysis by developing and using our own NCCA model which considered analysis framework proposed in this study.

Critical thinking includes creative thinking, open-mindedness, inquisitiveness. Critical Thinking Disposition was significantly higher in experimental group that was enhanced by the scenario-based learning contents than that of the control group(t=4.102, p<.001). Problem Solving process was significantly higher in experimental group that was enhanced by the scenario-based learning contents than that of the control group(t=5.082, p<.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in Clinical Competence(t=2.646, p=.009). But experimental group was significantly higher score than that of the control group score decreased. These results support that the implementation of a scenario-based learning contents need to be continued as an effective educational material but we need more research to establish how this can be effectively implemented in a students' practicum.
