미용전공 대학생들의 NCS 기반 교육과정 만족도

Abstract

National Competency Standards (NCS) are a set of knowledge, skills, and literacy required to perform jobs in industrial fields which have been systemized according to industry sectors and competency levels by the Korean government and standardized at the national level. The aim of this study was to assess the level of satisfaction with the NCS-based curriculum among college students majoring in cosmetology. A survey was conducted with a self-administered questionnaire on the NCS-based curriculum from May to July 2019 among a total of 194 students attending three beauty colleges in Busan, Korea. The collected data were analyzed using the SAS 9.4 program by conducting frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. The satisfaction scores of the respondents for the contents of the NCS-based curriculum were 4.0±0.8 points, and the satisfaction scores for educational performance evaluation were 4.0±0.7 points. Regarding the factors influencing satisfaction levels for the NCS-based curriculum, the NCS-based curriculum was found to contribute to practical competency and field adaptation in the students majoring in hair among subcategories of cosmetology (p<0.05). In order to enhance satisfaction with the NCS-based curriculum in college students majoring in cosmetology, systematic curriculum contents for practical education are required. In addition, it is also necessary to explore and implement measures to improve the level of satisfaction with NCS-based curriculum in students majoring in skincare, makeup, and nail art as well as those majoring in hair.
