Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to analyze how the specialized subjects teachers of industrial high schools recognize the level of their students' key competencies. Therefore, we employed cluster sampling with stratification to classify the population of the teachers in charge of specialized subjects of industrial high schools. We also classified it by field, that was, the field of electricity, electronics and communication, the field of machine and metal, and the field of construction. Through this classification, it had made the samples consisting of 27 high schools. For this study, key competencies consisting of 34 factors under 8 areas were determined. Total 324 copies of the questionnaire had been distributed, 242 of which were used for analysis. Descriptive statistics and F-test were used for statistical analysis. The major results of this study were as follows: First, the level of the students' key competencies that the specialized subjects teachers of industrial high schools recognize was found average or lower (3.0) in all the fields. Second, the teachers in the field of electricity, electronics and communication evaluated their students' key competencies higher than those in the other fields. Third, the teachers working in large cities evaluated their students' key competencies higher than those working in other regions. The above results show the level of the students' key competencies that is recognized by the teachers is different, depending on the variables, but in general, it was distributed between 2 points (low) and 3 (average). It suggests that industrial high school students, who are facing the rapidly changing job world as preliminary workers, should make a lot of efforts to improve their key competencies.
