  • 대학원 특히 이공계 대학원의 개선에 대하여는 지난 수년간 상당한 논의가 있었고 이에 따라 활발한 움직임이 있어 왔다. 근래 서울대학교가 대학원 중심의 대학교로 지향하겠음을 기본방침으로 채택하였으며 이공계 대학원으로써 전례에 없는 정부의 투자로서 한국과학원이 발족하여 이미 제1회 졸업생을 배출하였다. 따라서 우리나라에 본격적인 대학원교육의 세대가 온 것이라고 하여도 과언은 아니라고 본다. 일반 대학원교육의 목표가 "장차 연구와 교육에 종사할 대학교수를 양성하며 또한 사회에 봉사할 고등인력을 배출함"에 있으나 "사회가 요구하는 일부 고등인력이 특수대학원과 의치과에서만 배출되는 과도이고 대학원 전체로서는 이런 요구를 거의 충족치 못하고"있는 것이 지금까지의 현실이었다. (1)규모세성, (2)예산의 부족, (3)시설의 미비, (4)학생에의 지원빈곤 (5)교육 운영의 무리 및 (6)불합리한 기구의 성격때문에 일반대학원이 사회의 요구를 충족시키지 못할 뿐만 아니라 현재대학교들 자체의 교원 요원 충원에도 암경이 있음이 지적되고 있기도하다. 또우기 이러한 대학원교육의 분세성은 이공계에서는 더욱 심하다는 것이 명백히 나타나 있다. 일례로 시설은 기준에 훨씬 미흡하고 있으며 자연과학계열을 포함하고 있는 일반대학원의 학생 1인당 예산액이 사회과학계열의 특수대학원의 1인당 예산액의 반정도밖에 책정되어 있지 않는다는 어려운 실정이 나타나있다. 않는다는 어려운 실정이 나타나있다.

  • The purpose of the present study is to develop and validate an instrument to assess STEM career motivation. We developed 32 items for 7 constructs (i.e. education experience, career value, academic self-efficacy, career self-efficacy, career interest, parents' support, and career motivation) on STEM career motivation based on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT; Lent et al.,1994). 767 first year high school students participated in this study. The items were validated by Messick's framework (1995). In this study, we examined the validity of items in four aspects (i.e. content, substantive, structural and generalizability of validity). Methodologically, we used Rasch analysis, Exploratory factor analysis, confirmative factor analysis based on structural equation modelling. We confirmed that our instrument with 32 items as valid and reliable for measuring the STEM career motivation. In addition, we tested the STEM career motivation model based on SCCT. Our model explained the data well, suggesting that external factors (education experience and parents' support) and cognitive factors (perception of value, self-efficacy and interest) were significantly related to STEM career motivation.

  • Korean scientific community has recently argued that, in order to attract talented young people to the science and engineering fields, more ranking positions in the governmental office should be filled in by science and engineering majors. In this context, a special attention has been paid to the Chinese case where science and engineering majors have taken the highest places in Chinese political hierarchy. This paper examines historical and social background of the salience of science and engineering fields in modem China. A closer examination shows that the salience of science and engineering fields was resulted by the distinct historical experiences of China-the socialist reform of higher education system and Cultural Revolution. The former shaped the social conviction that humanities and social sciences are less useful than science and engineering fields. The latter even spread the idea that majoring in humanities or social sciences run the risk of political oppressions. Thus, the salience of science and engineering in China is a social phenomenon reflecting an academic hierarchy forced by the radical politics of modem China. Also, the higher proportion of science and engineering majors in the raking governmental officers has been resulted by a unique Chinese political system, in particular the personnel management system of the Chinese Communist Party that emphasizes practical experiences after college graduation. The comparison of the social position of science and engineering majors in China and Korea without taking account of such historical and social background may therefore mislead our understanding of the cause of and counterplan to the decreasing popularity of science and engineering fields in Korean universities.
