국제기능올림픽대회 헤어디자인 직종 경기 분석

Abstract

This study aimed to provide basic data for the tasks and improved management of skills test in the nation as well as preparation for international contests by analyzing the tasks and management methods of international contests in the category of hair design for the last ten years. As for methodology, the investigator used photographs taken by herself, materials of the contests she managed, and other related literature as she worked as a judge at international contests in 2005~2021. There were many changes to hair design at international contests for the last ten years. At the root of these changes was an idea that a contest was an extension of the industrial field instead of ending as a mere contest. Some of the biggest changes include the followings: first, there was a shift in creative tendencies from rather shocking and difficult works targeting a competition to commercial works applicable to daily life; secondly, all the tasks were implemented on a mannequin in the past. Today, some tasks are performed on live models to highlight greater demand for practical abilities; and finally, the judging committee tries to earn public confidence in its reviews by ensuring ongoing information exchanges among the judges at its devoted website and conducting their own tests. Changes to international contests have connections to skills contest in the nation. Based on the findings of the study, future skills contests will hopefully facilitate their vitalization further by improving tasks to reflect industrial needs, expanding the participation of contestants and industrial practitioners, and organizing an NCS-based education and training course.
