패션스페셜리스트 양성을 위한 연계형 교과 운영 개발에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a curriculum to train professionals in the field of fashion industry by providing a learning environment similar to the site of the fashion industry. Since the fashion industry is organically linked to industries in various fields from the textile industry to the apparel industry, the design of education courses to understand these industrial structures is required. Currently, however, Korean universities have a curriculum that allows them to study major subjects that detail each area of expertise in one semester. Therefore, in this study, three classes were linked together to overcome these limitations, and the results are as follows. First, an education system was developed that can be learned by linking “fashion design”, “clothing composition and pattern design”, and “texture”. It is meaningful that the system can provide students with an educational environment similar to that of the fashion industry. Second, the results of applying the developed curriculum to the students showed that students helped them learn independently, especially through teaming, understanding the workflow of fashion industry structure and apparel-maker, and improving their collaboration skills by developing altruism through team project execution. Since the above findings were made on students of textile fashion design at Mokwon University in a semester, there may be restrictions on generalization, so we hope that future research will be developed to continue in this field.
