Analysis of Cosmetology Teachers’ Perception of Untact Online Cosmetology Courses and their Barriers and Effectiveness

Abstract

This study attempted to suggest basic data needed to design ‘untact’ online courses and develop an operating plan for teachers in cosmetology high schools, and the results found the following: The perception of online courses revealed a positive correlation in ‘interest,’ ‘efficiency,’ and ‘communication’ with statistical significance. As perception was higher, online courses' effectiveness (‘interest,’ ‘efficiency,’ and ‘communication’) increased. In terms of barriers to online courses, as ‘instructor’ and ‘contents' barriers increased, and ‘interest’ decreased. When ‘instructor,’ ‘contents' and ‘learner management’ were high, the efficiency dropped. Furthermore, as ‘instructor’ and ‘environmental’ factors increased, ‘communication’ decreased. This study was performed among cosmetology teachers nationwide. Therefore, further studies should be conducted on the perception of online courses against more people, including cosmetology-related high school students.
