Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for liberal arts curriculum development and student guidance through surveys on the relationships between vocational key competencies and sub-competencies of college students. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, 10 vocational key competency domains and 34 sub-competency domains were designated as research variables, and hypotheses were formulated with the variables. To verify research hypotheses, the survey responses received from 442 students of K college in Kyunggi-do were analysed.
Results of the analysis revealed the following: First, the average score of vocational key competency domains was high in vocational ethics and interpersonal ability, and was low in information ability and skill ability. Second, multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the relationships between vocational key competencies and sub-competencies. The sub-competencies that have the strong impact on the 10 vocational key competencies are the ability of listening, chart analysis ability, thinking, self-awareness ability, budget management ability, negotiation ability, computer literacy, technical understanding ability, management understanding ability, and labor ethics. The results of this study are expected to help find effective ways of cultivating and developing vocational key competencies based on the understanding of the causal relationships between vocational key competencies and sub-competencies. |
