본 연구는 2012년부터 정부 주도로 시행하고 있는 지식재산교육 선도대학 사업의 지식재산 교육과정을 이수자들(재학생, 졸업생)과 산업체 관련자(종사자)의 지식재산 교육에 관한 인식을 기반으로 대학의 지식재산교육 체계 개선방향을 탐색하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구는 재학생, 졸업생, 산업체 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. 설문도구는 IP교육경험(수강경험, 교육목표, 이수제도, 교육방법), IP교육성과(교육만족도, IP 역량) 항목으로 구성하였으며, 5점 리커트 및 선다형 문항으로 개발하여 온라인 설문으로 조사하였다. IP교육경험을 분석한 결과, 첫째, IP 교과목에 대한 학습동기에 대해 재학생은 ‘강의시간이 적절(42.0%)’, 졸업생은 ‘IP에 대한 관심(52.9%)’이 가장 높게 응답하여, IP 교과목 수강동기가 다른 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, IP 교과목 유형별 수강경험 및 교과목 필요도를 살펴보면, 재학생과 졸업생, 산업체 모두 지식재산 기초 교과목에 대한 필요도를 가장 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다(M=3.87, 4.24, 4.34). 셋째, IP교육과정 이수제도에 대하여 재학생과 졸업생은 IP 관련 전공/학과 설치 확대 필요하다는 응답한 반면(26.8%, 32.9%), 산업체는 연계전공/부전공/복수전공 확대가 필요하다고 응답하였다(47.5%). 넷째, IP교육방법에 대하여, 재학생과 졸업생은 실제 강의수업으로 진행되는 교과목이 많다고 응답한 반면(65.8%, 55.9%), 산업체는 문제해결프로젝트로 진행하는 것이 적절하다고 응답하여(40.7%) 대학에서 실제 교육방법이 산업체에서 기대하는 교육방법과 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
This study aims to improve the intellectual property educational system of universities by exploring the perception of educational consumers (students, graduates, and industries) who have completed the intellectual property curriculum through the government-led initiative of the IP Education Leading University Project since 2012. This study was analyzed by conducting a questionnaire survey on current students, graduates, and industries. The survey tool consisted of items including IP educational experience (taking experience, educational goals, completion system, educational method), IP educational performance (educational satisfaction, IP competency). It was developed as 5-point likert and multiple choices, then conducted as an online survey. As a result of analyzing the IP educational experience, first, the most motivated students to take IP courses were "the lecture time is adequate (42.0%)" and the graduates" interest in IP (52.9%)" was the highest. Second, looking at the experience and degree of need for courses by IP subject types, enrolled students (M=3.87), graduates (M=4.24) and industries(M=4.34) showed a high percentage of taking basic intellectual property subjects. It can be seen that both enrolled students and graduates recognize the IP basics as important. Third, with regard to the IP curriculum completion system, enrolled students (26.8%) and graduates (32.9%) answered that it is necessary to expand the establishment of IP-related majors/departments, while industries (47.5%) need to expand related majors/minor/dual majors. Fourth, regarding the IP educational method, current students (65.8%) and graduates (55.9%) answered that there are many subjects that are actually lectured, while industry (40.7%) responded that it is appropriate to proceed with problem solving projects. It was found that there was a difference between the actual educational method and the expectations of the industry in the university"s university. Next, IP education satisfaction was in the order of graduates (M=3.74), enrolled students (M=3.50), industry (M=2.83), suggesting that universities need to make efforts to improve industry satisfaction with IP education. In addition, through IP education at the university, current students and graduates recognized that problem-solving skills, intellectual property acquisition and management skills were important and improved, while industries most expect talent (23.2%) who can entitle IP technology. Finally, this study presents some implications for the future improvement of intellectual property education in universities by comparing the educational experiences of students who have completed IP education and the perception of industrial companies on IP education.
