The purpose of this study is to suggest the way of enhancing the general education of Junior college. Those who want to become the leaders of information-oriented age need to have some competencies such as creativity, practical ability, critical thinking, and communication skill. These competencies correlate with general education. However while Junior college focuses on educating a major filed of study, the interest in educating general education is very low.
When investigating the present condition of the general education of Junior college, it is revealed that only 10% among Junior colleges has a department of general education and almost none of them has a systematical curriculum of general education like 4 years college.
Even though the faculty members of Junior college think general education for Junior college students is more needed and important, in reality, it is still insufficient and poor.
In this situation, belows are some improvement points to strengthen general education: 1) setting the objectives of general education for Junior college, 2) supporting to establish the department of general education 3) recruiting full time professors for general education. If these defects can be compensated, the general education of Junior college would be very strengthened and be possibly quite helpful to produce professional persons whose level meet the expectations of today’s industries. |
