The objectives of this research were to identify the digital competencies required for information science specialists at Saudi universities and to examine whether there existed conspicuous differences in the standpoint of these specialists due to years of work experience with regard to the importance of these competencies. A descriptive analytical method was used to accomplish these objectives while extracting the required digital competency list and ascertaining its importance. The research sample comprised 24 experts in the field of information science from several universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The participants in the sample were asked to complete a questionnaire prepared to acquire the pertinent data in the period between January 5, 2021 and January 20, 2021. The results reveal that the digital competencies required for information science specialists at Saudi universities encompass general features such as the ability to use computer, Internet, Web2, Web3, and smartphone applications, digital learning resource development, data processing (big data) and its sharing via the Internet, system analysis, dealing with multiple electronic indexing applications and learning management systems and its features, using electronic bibliographic control tools, artificial intelligence tools, cybersecurity system maintenance, ability to comprehend and use different programming languages, simulation, and augmented reality applications, and knowledge and skills for 3D printing. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were observed between the mean ranks of scores of specialists with less than 10 years of practical experience and those with practical experience of 10 years or more with regard to conferring importance to digital competencies.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to identify nursing informatics competencies of nurses working for public health centers in Chungcheongnam-do. Methods: Data were collected from June 10 to July 25, 2012 using the Nursing Informatics Competencies Questionnaire (NICQ). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, $x^2$-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: Nursing informatics competencies of the subjects showed a mean score of $3.3{\pm}1.0$ out of 5. As for scores of individual categories, the score for computer skills competencies was $3.3{\pm}1.0$, informatics knowledge competencies $3.4{\pm}0.9$, and informatics skills competencies $3.0{\pm}0.9$. Nursing informatics competencies were positively correlated with the subjects' ages (r=.65, p<.001), computer usage hours (r=.23, p = .015), levels of demand for informatics knowledge (r=.51, p<.001), and informatics skills education (r=.78, p<.001). Conclusion: Nursing informatics is required to be connected with job training or in-service education on account of its growing necessity for public health nurses. It is also essential to develop programs for strengthening informatics competencies reflecting sub-categories of educational needs.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a measurement scale of core competencies for one Institute of Science & Technology's students in South Korea. Based on the school's core value and mission, items were developed through document analysis, faculty survey, and experts' review. Initial sets of items were administered to students and results were analyzed to finalize the items for the scale, which consists of 4 core competencies (Creativity, Challenge, Collaboration, and Care) and 12 sub-competencies. Through reliability analysis and exploratory factor analysis, 56 items were selected. For a validity test, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Results suggest that the measurement scale is reliable and valid in measuring core competencies of students in an Institute of Science & Technology.

미래 사회에서 요구되는 핵심역량을 기반으로 한 교육이 국내외에서 강조되면서, 과학 교과에서도 학생들의 '과학적 역량' 신장을 위한 교육과정과 교수학습 활동에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 학생들의 과학적 역량 획득에 있어서 학교 과학수업 활동과 학생의 학습동기가 갖는 역할을 분석하고, 과학적 역량을 기를 수 있는 과학수업을 위한 시사점을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여, 이 연구에서는 한국 고등학교 학생들의 PISA 2015 결과 자료를 토대로 학교과학수업에서의 교수학습 활동이 학생의 학습동기 변수들을 매개로하여 과학적 역량에 어떤 영향을 주는지 통계적으로 분석하였다. 경로 분석 결과, 과학수업에서 상호작용이 강조된 활동과 실생활연계가 강조된 활동은 내재적 동기와 도구적 동기, 과학효능감을 유의하게 정적으로 예측하고 있었다. 이에 비해 학생의 주도로 이루어지는 탐구활동은 학습동기에 미치는 영향이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 과학에 대한 학습동기가 높을수록 과학적 역량의 세 영역인 '현상에 대해 설명하기', '과학탐구 과정을 평가하고 설계하기', '증거와 자료를 과학적으로 해석하기' 영역들의 점수가 높아졌다. 마지막으로 학교 과학수업의 실행은 학습동기를 통해 과학적 역량 획득에 간접적인 영향을 주고 있었는데, 구체적으로 상호작용이 강조된 활동은 내재적 동기를 통해서, 실생활과 연계된 수업 활동은 모든 학습동기 변수들을 통해서 성취에 긍정적으로 영향을 주고 있음을 알 수 있다. 끝으로 이러한 결과들이 학생의 과학적 역량 신장을 위한 학교 과학수업의 설계와 역할에 주는 시사점을 논의하였다.

2015 개정 교육과정에서는 융복합적 사고력 신장을 위해 '통합과학'을 신설하고, 문이과 구분 없이 모든 학생이 배우도록 공통 과목으로 지정하였다. 또한 2015 개정 교육과정에서는 이전 교육과정과 차별화되는 특징으로 '역량'을 도입하였다. 2015 개정 교육과정에서 역량은 범교과적 성격의 핵심역량과 교과의 학문적 지식과 기능에 기반한 교과 역량으로 구분된다. 과학과 교과 역량에는 과학적 사고력, 과학적 탐구 능력, 과학적 문제 해결력, 과학적 의사소통 능력, 과학적 참여와 평생 학습 능력 5가지로 이루어져 있다. 하지만 교육과정 문서의 교과 역량에 대한 설명은 불충분하며, 역량에 대한 전문가들의 인식 역시 통일되어 있지 못한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 역량 기반 교육이 학교 현장에 제대로 적용되기 위해서는 과학 교사들이 역량에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 된다고 판단하여 고등학교 과학 교사들을 대상으로 과학과 교과 역량에 대한 인식을 조사하였다. 우선 통합과학 성취기준에 대한 이해가 높은 전문가 워킹 그룹 운영을 통해 통합과학의 성취기준과 교과 역량의 관계를 분석하였다. 그 다음으로 고등학교 과학 교사 31명에 대상으로 서술형 설문을 통해 5가지 교과 역량에 대한 인식을 알아보았다. 교사의 응답은 언어 네트워크 분석 기법을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과 과학적 탐구 능력, 과학적 의사소통 능력, 과학적 참여와 평생 학습 능력 3개 교과 역량은 교사들이 생각하는 바와 교육과정 문서에서 제시한 정의와 유사성이 높았으나, 과학적 사고력, 과학적 문제 해결력의 경우 교사들의 인식과 교육과정 문서상의 정의와 어느 정도 간극이 존재하였다. 또한 5개 역량에 대해 교사들의 인식을 종합적으로 분석한 결과를 보면 5개 교과 역량이 상호배타적이나 독립적이기 보다 연관성이 매우 높음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 과학 영재 핵심 역량을 바탕으로 대학부설 과학영재교육원 교육과정을 분석하고, 이를 통해 영재원 교육의 개선 방향을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 과학교육 및 영재교육 전문가의 설문을 통해 다음과 같은 12개의 핵심역량을 선정하였다. 선정된 핵심 역량은 기초 및 전문지식, 창의력, 과학적 사고력, 탐구능력, 문제해결능력, 융합능력 등의 인지적 역량군과 과제 집착력, 자기주도 학습능력, 동기강화 및 도전, 의사소통능력, 협업능력, 리더십 등의 비인지적 역량군이었다. 과학 영재 핵심 역량을 기반으로 한 영재원 교육과정의 분석 결과, 인지적 역량군, 비인지적 역량군의 여러 역량들이 교육과정에 모두 반영되어 있었다. 그러나 몇 개의 역량들은 프로그램이 진행되는 과정에 잠재적으로 포함되어 있는 수준이었다. 본 연구에서는 역량별로 영재원 교육 사례를 제시하였고, 영재원 교육의 발전을 위한 의견을 추가로 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate engineering professors' perceptions on the key competencies for engineering students (i.e. creativity, problem solving, designing, field application, etc.) and their instructional efforts to promote the competencies. The guiding research questions included 1) to what extent engineering professors perceived the key competencies as the important qualification that engineering students should obtain in college, 2) to what extent the professors put in a great deal of effort to promote such competencies in their teaching, and 3) how their perceptions on the key competencies correlated with their instructional practice. Two hundred fifteen engineering professors affiliated to diverse fields voluntarily participated in the study and filled out 5 point-Likert scale survey items. In results, despite of some range of variation on their perceptions according to the fields, most of the engineering professors highly valued the four key competencies. However, compared to the perceptions, engineering professors in some engineering fields relatively less focused on promoting the competencies in their teaching practice.

Objectives: This study was established to ascertain the requirements and implementation of core competencies for employees of the a workers' health center. Methods: The study consisted of a four-step process: a literature review, focus group interviews, expert opinions, and a questionnaire. The survey was conducted online among 119 employees of the National Workers' Health Center. Results: As a result of the research, eleven core competencies and 37 sub-competencies were derived in three areas: Competence as a social worker, competence to perform duties, and competence for maintaining expertise. The key demands for core competencies were "health consultation" and "understanding of small businesses.". They responded that they needed to "maintain an ethical attitude" and "consult on workers' health.". The largest score difference between core competency requirements and competency implementation was "collaboration with the community.". Conclusions: It is necessary to increase competencies not only for competencies with high core requirements, but also for relatively low competencies. In addition, efforts should be made to improve the core competencies of the employees of the Workers' Health Center to effectively respond to changes in the industrial structure and crises such as COVID-19.
