자율전공과 AI시대에서의 미래 대학교육

Abstract

This paper examined university education that corresponds to the times in two aspects: micro and macro. On the microscopic side, university education has recently set the goal of adapting to a rapidly changing global society and cultivating talented people who lead it, and to this end, a single major in the past was a double major, where a combined major and a linked major were born again, and recently, autonomous majors that sought more flexibility were found. All of these are different in degree, but they are pursuing new innovations based on integrated thinking, breaking down boundaries in different fields, and so is the recent admission without a major proposed by the Ministry of Education. However, if the system aimed at convergence rather causes a departmental bias, and there is a possibility that pure studies will be neglected, it can be seen as contrary to the original purpose. In addition, educational institutions should respond to and should not be forced to do so in accordance with the learner's interests and aptitudes in accordance with the original purpose. On the macroscopic side, looking at the total fertility rate in Korea and the graduation statistics of college or higher by gender of the youth generation, we cannot help but be very concerned. As an alternative to this, I cited the expansion of the number of admissions through foreign students. Although there are spatial and linguistic difficulties now, it is expected that these difficulties will be overcome by using technology and data. Therefore, universities should further develop education and research, and use the data generated in classes to play a role in leading the future of the education industry.
