대학생 디지털역량 분석: A대학 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

This study was conducted to diagnose the digital competencies of university students and derive implications for improving educational programs and providing educational support based on the results. To achieve this, a digital competency diagnostic tool designed by A university was conducted, with the participation of 1,097 students. The key findings of this study are as follows. Firstly, among the six sub-competencies of information collection, collaborative communication, content creation, tool utilization, ethical compliance, and problem-solving, tool utilization competency appeared to be somewhat lower. Secondly, an analysis of the difference in digital competencies based on academic year revealed that the competencies of first-year and fourth-year students were somewhat lower(p<.05~p<.001). Thirdly, an analysis of differences based on academic disciplines showed that students in the arts and humanities·social sciences disciplines exhibited slightly lower competencies compared to students in the natural sciences·engineering disciplines(p<.05~p<.001). Fourthly, the analysis for digital competencies perception indicated that students had the highest demand for tool utilization competency. They expressed a desire to cultivate various tool utilization competencies through major education. This study emphasizes the significance of digital competency diagnosis in understanding the competency levels and status of students. It also highlights the potential and utility of providing educational improvements and support through the digital competency diagnosis of the results.
