摘要:Purpose:This study examined how important graduates consider the 15 items of educational outcomes (importance) and how much they feel that they have achieved at graduation (accomplishment),determined whether outcomes varied according to profession, and assessed what graduates’ educational needs are. Methods:A questionnaire was given to 85 graduates of Ajou University School of Medicine. The data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test using SPSS 12.0. The Borich formula was used to examine graduates’ educational needs. Results:Educational outcomes,such as medical knowledge and clinical skills at the basic medical levels,communication skills, and social accountabilities,were considered important in every profession. The Kruskal-Wallis test results demonstrated that the 15 items of educational outcomes were not significantly different between careers (p>0.05),but the average scores were. Doctors in private practice placed an emphasis on keeping a healthy body and mind and continuing lifelong learning;doctors in general hospitals emphasized understanding the health care industry’s policies;and professors at university hospitals focused on proper medical ethics— the house staff emphasized teamwork with colleagues. Conclusion:These test results can be used as basic materials for reflecting on educational objectives,student performance,and revision of the curricula. Further studies on how to measure educational outcomes are necessary.
其他摘要:최근의 사회적 변화에 따른 교육개혁 흐름 가운데 주목할 만한 것은 '학습성과(outcome)’에 관한 관심이 고조되고 있다 는 점이다. 종래의 학교교육이 지식 전달에 기반한 교육이라 고 한다면 이러한 지식 전달 중심의 교육은 학생들을 최근의 변화하는 환경에 적절히 적응시키는 데 한계가 있다. 따라서 학교교육의 목적을 지식 전달이 아닌 결과에 초점을 두어야 한다는 논의와 함께 학습성과에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다 [1,2,3].
