마이크로전공의 효율적 운영을 위한 교수, 학생 인식조사

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of professors who actually launch a micro-major at universities and students who participate directly in classes since the interest in the micro-major has increased recently. According to a survey of professors and students attending university in the metropolitan area, 61.3 percent of professors have heard of micro-major, but 61 percent of students have not. The intention and satisfaction of participating in the micro-major were high for both professors and students. Professors saw that it could help students develop their convergent thinking skills. The biggest reason for students was that it was less of a burden than double majors or minor majors. Professors want a course type that can be opened by two or more departments and can be completed by students in the these departments. Students find micro-major course type that is linked to national certificates is the most desirable. In order to revitalize the micro major, professors recognized that the attention of schools and students was the most needed, and students recognized that basic learning support for other majors was the most needed. Based on these results, it was suggested that university should more actively consider the introduction and operation of the micro-major to cope with changes in the future society, especially the introduction of types that actually help students, strengthen promotion for professors and students, and consider systems such as the major curriculum certification system so that professors and students' interest can lead to actual operation of the micro-major.
