교육과정 개발을 위한 의류학 교과과정 현황 분석 : 서울과 대구ㆍ경북지역을 중심으로

Abstract

This study examined the current educational curricula in the field of clothing and textiles to provide insights into the development of a new curriculum for four-year domestic universities. A total of 33 departments offering 1,237 courses related to clothing and textiles were selected from 32 universities in Seoul and Daegu-Gyeongsangbuk-do province. Based on the course description posted on their school websites, major courses offered by the universities were divided into seven categories; textiles, clothing construction, fashion design, fashion marketing, costume history, Korean traditional costume studies, and others. Interdisciplinary studies, teaching profession courses, or minor courses provided by other departments apart from clothing and textiles were categorized under the ‘others’. Results revealed that most of the major courses were available in the third year and fashion design had the largest number of classes offered among the categories. The unusual courses offered by the universities in Seoul focused more on academic and theoretical contents whereas those by the universities in Daegu-Gyeongsangbuk-do province focused on skills or practical experiences in the clothing and textile fields. For elective courses, regardless of the regions, classes related to teaching profession were opened mostly in the third year and field training classes were mainly opened in the fourth year. Although some courses were provided to improve students’ voluntary learning skills and abilities to perform difficult projects, engage in interdisciplinary studies, and prepare for the technology-driven future, the number of classes were few.
