산업정보학교 실태와 개선 방안

Abstract

현재 일반계 고교에서 고3 기간 동안 직업교육을 받을 수 있는 "직업과정"이라는 프로그램이 있다. 이 연구는 직업과정을 운영하는 산업정보학교 현황을 살펴보고 일반계 고교 직업과정 운영 개선 방안을 모색하는데 목적이 있었다. 이를 위하여 산업정보학교 교사, 일반계 고교 직업과정 담당 교사와 학생의 인식을 조사하였다. 산업정보학교의 운영 목적을 공식적으로 명시한 것과 구성원들이 실제로 인식하는 목적 사이에는 간극이 있었다. 산업정보학교는 타 위탁기관에 비하여 취업률과 자격증취득률은 낮으나 진학률이 높았다. 산업정보학교가 타 위탁 기간에 비하여 교사 수준이 높은 점을 감안할 때, 부적응 정보가 높은 학생들에게 우선적으로 교육기회를 제공하는 기관으로 정체성을 확립할 필요성을 제안하였다. ○ 주요내용 - 일반계고 직업과정 학생 수 변화 - 산업정보학교의 교사 및 학생 특싱 - 산업정보학교의 교육 과정 및 교육 성과 - 산업정보학교 및 일반계고 직업과정 운영 개선 방안

The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of the vocational programs for general high school students(VPGH) and evaluate outcomes of those programs. The followings were research questions of this study. First, how many students had enrolled in these programs in 2009 and has the number of applicants increased in recent years? Secondly, what are the official objectives of VPGH and what are the goals of VPGH perceived by students and teachers? Thirdly, what are the employment rates of graduates of theses programs, the percentages of graduates who pursued higher education, and the rate of students who passed qualification tests? The number of students who completed VPGH has increased conspicuously between 2008 and 2009, from 3,784 to 5,643. 40.3% of them were educated in special schools for VPGH(Industrial information schools), 30.8% were trained in public vocational training institutes supported by the Ministry of Labour, and 25.7% were trained in private vocational institutions. The official objectives of VPGH is to provide vocational training for students who do not have a plan to go to the universities. Yet, 17.3% of students had chosen VPGH expecting that they might have a higher chance to get admission from technical colleges and 31.4% students had chosen VPGH not for getting jobs but because they didn't have any other choices due to low academic achievement. Only 4% of students had chosen these programs for getting jobs. The gap between the official objective of VPGH and goals perceived by students could cause confusion and conflict in evaluating the validity of the content and the outcome of these programs. The employment rate was the highest in public vocational training institutes(54.1%), and the lowest in the Technical Information schools(10.5%). The success rate in getting qualifications was the highest in the public vocational training institutions(82.1%) followed by Industrial Information schools(72.7%), and private training institutes(51.2%). On the other hand, the entrance rate for higher education was the highest in Industrial Information schools, the lowest in the public vocational training institutes. To clarify the objectives of VPGH and divide roles among different groups of institutes were suggested,
