Abstract

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze the status and operating system of the cooperative curriculum from the perspective of the university admissions officer, and derive a plan to reflect the cooperative curriculum when evaluating the college admission process.
 Methods To this end, expert interviews were conducted in writing and by phone with 15 senior admissions officers with extensive experience in college entrance and high understanding of student evaluation. Also, research member checking and peer debriefing of two admissions officers with a doctorate were conducted in order to secure the validity and reliability of the data.
 Results As a result of the study, admissions officers generally positively evaluated the cooperative curriculum in terms of guaranteeing students choice of various subjects, but pointed out that the substantial operation of the cooperative curriculum should precede. They presented both positive and negative opinions on the online cooperative curriculum. For the items and contents listed in the student record of the cooperative curriculum, detailed competency and specialty items were most preferred to enable course-based evaluation. The appropriate screening for evaluating the cooperative curriculum was mainly selected as a comprehensive student record that can evaluate career-related content, and among the evaluation competencies, the relevance of the course and application department, efforts and achievements can be confirmed.
 Conclusions Based on the results of the study, the researcher suggested evaluating whether or not to complete the cooperative curriculum, familiarizing admission officers with various contents related to the cooperative curriculum, opening subjects reflecting the actual needs of students and administrative and financial support from the Office of Education for it, and providing data on the operation of the cooperative curriculum to universities.
