산업 현장성 강화를 위한 고등교육체제 개편

Abstract

현재의 학문중심 고등교육체제 속에서 학문중심으로 운영할 필요가 없는 부분을 고도의 테크놀로지와 지식 중심사회에 적합한 직업중심 고등교육으로 전환하여 운영할 수 있는 방안을 탐색하고자 하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 본 연구의 구성은 다음과 같다. 우리의 현황과 그 현황으로부터 요구되는 사항 및 외국의 선진적 사례가 주는 시사점을 분석하는 과정을 거쳐, 마지막으로 고등교육체제 개편의 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 효과적인 산학연계체제를 제안하고 이에 따른 산학협력의 개선방안을 소개하였으며, 이러한 개선방안이 필요로 하는 새로운 교육과정과 교수-학습방법을 모색하고 제시하였다.

The demand for higher education has suddenly increased, in general, due to modern social and economic developments in the world. This expansion has taken place within higher education market in Korea, too. But business leaders do not approve the students' academic experience. There is no real accreditation between higher education and business organizations. We－National Organization Institutes, and the Higher Education Communities, etc.－tried hard, through many kinds of researches and policies, to reinforce the linkage between higher education and work. But the business organizations' discredit in higher education has become deeper now. We started from this point, the point of distrust between higher education and work, on the assumption that this discredit is not derived from higher education or from business organizations, but from a certain linkage question. Our purpose of this research is to analyze questions around higher education structure in various ways, exploring reasons and conditions of the ‘discredit'. We established first, an intermediary system of work and academic learning for reinforcing the linkage between Education and Work. Secondly, we proposed developing academically-approved work experience and effective learning systems, unifying special degrees and vocational qualifications, creating many different kinds of special degree, and ensuring the accreditation of special degrees through strict academic evaluation.
