Abstract

Despite many universities defining and operating competency-based curriculum that align with their ideal talent profiles, there is a shortage of research on the core competency systems and meanings presented by universities. The purpose of this study is to examine how core competencies are defined by various universities that participated in the second cycle of university innovation projects and to identify key points for operating competency-based education programs in the future. For this research, core competencies and their definitions were collected from 121 universities participating in the second cycle of university innovation projects. Through Word2Vec techniques, the relationships between key terms and words were analyzed. Also Cluster analysis was conducted to analyze the main themes of the core competencies set by universities.
 The results of this study revealed several key findings regarding the current status of university core competencies. Firstly, while each university has different ideal talent profiles or specificities, the core competencies they are setting are not significantly different. Secondly, it was observed that universities are not effectively reflecting industry demand and societal changes in their core competencies. It is suggested that there is a need for reflection on the responsibilities of universities in responding to societal and industrial demands. This indicates a critical juncture for contemplating competency setting. To align with future changes in the direction of education, efforts should be made to reinterpret and explore the elements and requirements of competencies. This will enable the measurement and management of the outcomes of university education in line with the changing direction of education.
