본 연구는 4년제 대학에 설치된 상담학과 21개의 교육과정을 분석하여 학부 상담학과 교육과정의 개선점과 발전방안을 살펴보고자 수행되었다. 교육과정은 상담학과 교육목표, 교과목, 상담실습, 운영과정을 중점으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 상담학과 교육목표에서는 ``상담전문가``의 용어가 가장 높은 빈도를 나타냈고, 대부분의 학과의 교육목표는 전문상담가 양성이었다. 교과목에서는 상담학기초 영역은 1학년, 상담이론과 기법 영역은 2학년, 상담평가 영역은 3학년, 통계 및 연구와 상담실습 영역은 4학년에서 가장 많은 분포를 나타냈다. 상담학 교과목에서는 매체상담, 정신건강, 상담실습, 심리검사, 상담이론의 교과목이 높은 비율의 분포를 나타냈고, 상담윤리, 상담자교육 수퍼비전의 교과목은 상대적으로 낮은 비율의 분포를 나타냈다. 상담학 영역에서는 상담일반 영역이 가장 많은 분포를 차지하였으며, 상담철학, 상담원론, 상담공학, 상담경제 등 관련 영역의 교과목은 개설되지 않았다. 상담실습에서는 저학년은 상담이론, 고학년은 실습과 현장(수퍼비전) 교과목이 많이 운영되었다. 운영과정에서는 단일전공 졸업이수학점은 60-66학점의 분포가 가장 많았으며, 자격과정, 특성 화사업, 트랙제, 연계전공, 실무형 실습과정의 특색있는 과정을 운영하였다. 제시된 결과를 토대도 학부 상담학과 교육과정의 개선점 및 발전방안을 논의하였다.
In this study, twenty one curriculums of the undergraduate department of counseling were analyzed to understand and improve the curriculums opened in the undergraduate course. The curriculums were analyzed by focusing on the object of the department, lectures, practice of counseling, operating procedures. As a result, the expression of ‘counseling expert’ was shown as the most frequency in the object of the department. The educational objective of most departments was to train professional counselors. In the lectures, the basic domain of counseling was mostly distributed in the freshman courses. The domain for the theory and technique of counseling was mostly distributed in the sophomore courses. The domain for the evaluation of counseling was mostly distributed in the junior courses. The domain for the statistics, research and practice of counseling was mostly distributed in the senior courses. Examining the components of counseling, the lectures related to the media counseling, mental health, practice of counseling, testing of psychology and theory of counseling were mostly included in the counseling courses. The lectures related to the ethic of counseling and the supervision of counselor training were relatively less included in the counseling courses. The domain for the general counseling was the most frequently occupied in the field of counseling. The lectures related to the philosophy, principles, engineering and economy of counseling were not opened. In relation to the practice of counseling, the counseling theory lectures were opened for the lower grades. The lectures related to the practice and site (supervision) were opened for the higher grades. Sixty to sixty six credits for the single major were the most frequently marked in the operating procedures. The characteristic advanced courses such as the courses for a certificate of qualifications, specialization projects, programs for the track system, multiple interdepartmental majors, and practice courses for the practical job experience were operated in the various universities. The improvements for the curriculums of the undergraduate department of counseling were discussed based on the suggested results.
