다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted by collecting and analyzing curricula of 19 colleges that has the department of dental laboratory technology throughout the country and analyzed by use of a questionnaire designed by the researcher with regard to details of actual operation in each college.
Credit points for clinical training that has been conducted based on curricula vary from 3 to 20 points depending on colleges. But around 10 credit points are considered as ideal.
For evaluation, the evaluation table was not applied but used as reference only. As criteria for evaluation such as evaluators, evaluation items and criteria for point distribution do not provide objectivity or reliability, development of accurate evaluation tools is required.
It dis necessary for the bodies of colleges to maintain a level of mutual trust by visiting the sites of practical training regularly for the formation of progressive industry-academia cooperative relationships. When selecting the sites of practical training, it would be desirable to look for sites with better conditions for practical training in conjunction with related institutions. Besides, regarding clinical training education, in order for students to adapt themselves correctly to work environments and rapidly cultivate practical capabilities at site, systematic and efficient operation of training sites is required.
