Exploring the Current Status and Direction of the University's Competency-Based Curriculum Performance Management System

Objectives This study investigated the status of the competency-based curriculum introduced and operated as a plan to strengthen university competitiveness. Based on this, we tried to present implications for the direction of performance management of the university's competency-based curriculum. Methods First, the characteristics of university performance management, competency-based curriculum design features, competency-based curriculum performance management evaluation model, and evaluation index theoretical model were derived through literature and comparative studies. Second, the status of competency- based curriculum performance management at University A was investigated and analyzed. Third, based on the actual status of competency-based curriculum performance management at domestic and foreign universities, expert interviews were conducted to derive the direction for university competency-based curriculum performance management. Results First, based on the CIPP model, evaluation indicators were designed according to the areas of situation evaluation, input evaluation, process evaluation, and output evaluation. Second, it was found that more than half of the teachers at University A were generally satisfied with the competency-based curriculum quality management situation. As a result of the IPA analysis, the performance level was lower than the importance level in the previous stage of the CIPP model. Third, experts saw that it was necessary to collect opinions from school members in the situation evaluation, design a roadmap for the entire university curriculum, recruit capacity management personnel, and develop faculty's competency-based class design ability. Conclusions In order to increase teachers' interest in and implementation of competency-based curriculum in the future, it is necessary to provide support such as identifying teachers' needs, training teachers for new curriculum, and selecting and rewarding excellent classes.
