2급 치유농업사 양성과정 강사진 및 교육생의 치유농업사 양성교육 인식조사 = Perceptions of Instructors and Trainees in the Agro-Healing Specialist Training Program

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study surveyed 46 instructors and 166 trainees from 16 institutions offering the Level-2 Agro-Healing Specialist Training Course to identify curriculum improvement needs. Most respondents were in their 50s with agricultural backgrounds, and program awareness was mainly through formal education or lectures. The general population and individuals with psychosocial difficulties were identified as primary target groups, indicating potential for expanding preventive-type programs. Key competencies included understanding human physical, cognitive, and psychosocial characteristics, as well as program design and implementation skills. Despite significant training hours allocated to program-related subjects, both groups expressed a strong need for supplementary education balancing theory and practice. Preferred providers were Level-2 training institutions and agro-healing centers, with 10 hours per year considered appropriate. Elective course feedback suggested maintaining current hours while adding subjects on client understanding, agro-healing resources, safety, and environmental issues. Findings highlight the need to strengthen practical training, diversify electives, and establish systematic supplementary education, providing a basis for future curriculum development and policy in agro-healing.
