Using an online survey, this study recruited 441 subjects (125 instructors, 135 students, 181 workers) from the various universities and companies. We conducted analysis of variance (ANOVA) for multiple comparisons and Important-Performance Analysis (IPA) for measuring and comparing the importance, satisfaction, and future needs of college general education.
The analyses show that the overall college general education satisfaction is low. With regards to the concepts and contents of college general education, the results indicated that the formation of the whole and autonomous human beings and general education that seeks the truth in knowledge are emphasized in college general education.
