호주의 중등교육 이후 직업교육훈련의 개혁과 정책적 시사점: 남호주주의 기술전문대학을 중심으로 = Learning from Australian training reforms in post-secondary school vocational education: A case study of TAFE in South Australia

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this study was to identify useful strategies for improving the Korean vocational education and training system by reviewing reforms to the Australian post-secondary vocational education and training that have taken place over the last few decades. A review of the literature on training reform provided a comprehensive national overview of reforms, their consequences and their implications. In-person interviews with four acting directors of Institutes and their equivalents provided some information on current developments. These interviews collected information on the perceived strengths of the public TAFE system, vis-a-vis private sector and enterprise training providers. Information was also collected on industry demand for training, and input into curriculum development. Discussions also surrounded the employment outcomes of students, and human resources issues dealing with staff and student recruitment, and professional development of teachers. There are a number of implications for the Korean system that can be derived from the Australian experience. First it is important that any major reform to the Korean vocational education and training system needs to be examined from a national perspective. This means that it needs to take into account a variety of stakeholder views, and focussed on the long-term. They also Second, the Australian experience also highlights the importance of increasing cooperative relationships between Korean schools and industry for mutual benefit. Third, we need to establish a robust and reasonable qualification framework that enables movement between vocational education and training qualifications to higher education qualifications. Lastly, we need to review the function and role of the higher educational system to make it more relevant to a changing world. It would make sense to redefine the vocational colleges as institutes for lifelong vocational education and training.

본 논문은 호주에서 중등교육 이후에 시행되는 직업교육훈련의 개혁 노력을 통하여 우리나라 직업교육훈련체제를 개편하는데 필요한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 먼저 호주의 직업교육훈련체제 개혁 노력을 살펴보고, 남호주주의 기술전문대학 운영사례를 통하여 성공적으로 운영되고 있는 학과 또는 전공 분야를 확인하여 그 특징을 분석하였고, 졸업생의 취업과 취업후의 관리를 위한 학교의 노력 현황 등을 살펴보았다. 주로 문헌과 자료를 통하여 호주의 개혁 노력을 분석하였고, 몇몇 기술전문대학 관계자 및 취업 관련 부서 관계자와의 면담을 통하여 현황을 파악하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제시하고자 하는 정책적 제안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 직업교육훈련체제 개편은 국가적 의제로 다루되 다양한 각도에서 장기적으로 추진하여야 할 것이다. 둘째, 호주(남호주주)의 긴밀한 산학연계를 참조하여 우리나라에서도 산업체와 교육기관간의 실질적인 협력관계가 형성되도록 제도적 틀을 만들 필요가 있다. 셋째, 호주의 자격체계는 호주의 직업교육훈련체제를 유지하는 틀로 기능하고 있다는 점을 고려하여 우리나라도 산업계가 직업교육훈련 이수자의 직무수행능력을 인정하는 자격체계를 수립하여야 할 것이다. 넷째, 호주의 기술전문대학이 평생교육훈련기관으로서 기능하는 점을 참고하여 우리나라도 고등교육기관간의 기능 분담과 역할 재정립 문제를 적극 검토하여 개선할 필요가 있다.
