Abstract

PURPOSE: A curriculum managing system using an academic field classification system and a recording medium storing a program for executing the same in computer are provided to consistently manage the curriculum, thereby systemically managing a curriculum which academic areas or professors newly open and maintain. CONSTITUTION: An academic field classification database unit(110) hierarchically classifies academic fields into areas and stores an academic field classification system with an unique ID code. A education goal managing unit(140) receives and manages education goal information of each course which includes details such as education goal, education goal management, academic fields, courses, and a conformity rate of scheduled courses. When a course overlapping rate with other courses which is calculated based on the academic field classification system has less than a reference value, an education course scheduling unit authorizes a new course.

Description

System for managing curriculums using codes of research fields and recording medium storing program for executing method of the same in computer}

The present invention relates to a recording medium recording a program for executing a curriculum management system and a method thereof on a computer. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for executing and managing a curriculum of a university on a computer. The present invention relates to a recording medium recording a program.

The management of education at the university has been at the bachelor's level. When a student is admitted, a school register is created, which records brief information about the course taken during the student's enrollment, credits earned, and additional information such as certifications or outreach required for graduation. On the other hand, the university authorities request each department to open courses for each semester. Courses submitted by the department are entered into the academic management system, and students select the courses they want to take during the course registration period. Therefore, all matters related to student registration, course correction, and abandonment are also managed by the academic management system. At the end of the semester, students' grade entry, course surveys, and grades are also available through the academic management system. When graduation is completed, the records and revisions of the school records corresponding to each student are finally completed and kept, and are referred to when students request a certificate.

In addition to the traditional academic management system, there has recently been an additional learning management system. As such, the system provided with academic management and learning management provides various functions related to class management at the same time as opening the course. Attendance management, testing and grade management, discussion, and distribution of materials are possible through this system. It also includes a real-time video lecture system that provides lesson content remotely. This system is operated to help the instructor smooth the lessons.

However, a system for managing the curriculum itself has not been developed or actually used until now, in addition to the above-described academic management system or learning management system. Here, the curriculum management system means a system that supports the organization, operation, evaluation, and feedback of the curriculum effectively. To date, the curriculum of universities is largely dependent on colleges, especially departments. In other words, the decision on which subjects to organize, when, how often, and for whom has been mostly decided by the department or professor. And when the decision of different departments or professors collides in this process, the coordination is made by the curriculum committee of the college or the whole university.

As such, when decisions regarding curriculum are made at the department / major level, there is a high possibility of inefficiency in opening and conducting the curriculum. First of all, the current university curriculum is divided into departments and majors, so the same or similar subjects may be duplicated, or some subjects cannot be opened due to lack of students. In addition, departments and majors must cooperate with adjacent majors or departments to ensure that their students have the diverse perspectives and integrated perspectives required in the field, but this effort is unlikely. The curriculum is not easily managed within the department, so it is difficult to find information on which subjects should be opened for which students and how often. For this reason, departments and faculty are only managing curriculum at the timetable for each semester.

On the other hand, even when trying to improve the curriculum, it is difficult for the department to utilize the results of previous operations. Of course, information related to curriculum improvement is still available upon request from the university authorities, but its access is very limited because the information is contained in a comprehensive information system without access to professors or instructors. In addition, there is no guidance on criteria or indicators that can be used to improve the curriculum. To make matters worse, there is a problem that it is not easy to give an opinion on improvement and abolition, etc. because each subject is directly connected to a specific major field.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to utilize the academic classification system that can organize and manage the curriculum under systematic criteria, and enable the convergence of departments and the whole space while preventing the overlapping and omission of courses. To provide a curriculum management system.

Another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to establish and manage a curriculum based on a systematic standard, and to provide an academic classification system that enables a convergent approach between departments and entire spaces while preventing overlapping and omission of courses. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable recording medium that records a program for executing a curriculum management method on a computer.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the curriculum management system according to the present invention is classified into a hierarchical structure of each discipline, and the classification system for storing the academic classification system generated by assigning each unique code. ; Educational objective information including educational contents and educational ratios for each area to be completed by each department, educational objective management information including detailed educational targets and educational ratios for each field, and academic fields corresponding to specific educational targets for each region, respectively Education that receives and manages educational goal information including the degree of matching between the actual curriculum and carpenter's overcoming and carpenter's goal, and the ratio of the program and carpenter's ratio. A target management unit; And a curriculum organization unit for approving the formation of the new subject when the degree of overlap of the subject with another subject calculated based on the academic classification system is less than or equal to a preset reference value when the new subject is organized.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the recording medium according to the present invention includes (a) inputting information on a new subject from the user through a user interface screen for opening a subject when a user requests to open a new subject. Receiving step; (b) calculating a degree of overlap with another department based on an academic field from among information on a subject received from the user; And (c) the number of overlapping courses of the course and other departments identified based on the academic classification system generated by hierarchically classifying each discipline by the establishment of new courses. Approving the opening of the new subject if the degree of overlap with other subjects, which is defined as the ratio of the number of subjects, is less than or equal to a preset reference value, records a program for executing a curriculum management method on a computer.

According to the recording medium recording the curriculum management system using the academic classification system and the program for executing the method on a computer according to the present invention, by consistently managing the curriculum by the academic classification system, each department or professor The curriculum that is established and maintained can be systematically managed, and coordination of similar courses between departments or professors can be easily solved. In addition, by systematically managing the curriculum, it is possible to comprehensively provide information on the curriculum to school members such as students, professors, and staff.

1 is a view showing a detailed configuration of a preferred embodiment of the curriculum management system using the academic classification system according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, the preferred embodiment 100 for the curriculum management system using the academic classification system according to the invention, the academic classification database unit 110, the user database unit 120, the user interface management unit 130 It includes a training goal management unit 140, the curriculum organizer 150, the associated system matching unit 160 and the data conversion unit 170.

In the academic classification database 110, codes corresponding to the academic field to which each subject belongs is stored. At this time, academic classification means standard classification that can be uniformly used by all institutions conducting educational and research work such as research institutes as well as universities. An example of such standard classification is the academic classification system provided by the Korea Research Foundation. The academic classification system was first developed in 2002 and updated in 2008. The academic classification system is divided into major classification, middle classification, subclassification, and subclassification. According to the Korea Research Foundation's academic classification system, a total of 4,233 academic fields are divided into eight major categories, 152 middle categories, 1,567 subclasses, and 2,507 subclasses. The major categories are humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, medicine, agricultural and marine sciences, arts and physical education, and complex studies. Table 1 lists some parts of the academic classification system.

The user database unit 120 stores information about a user who has authority to access the curriculum management system according to the present invention. Since the present invention basically aims to be applied to the management of a curriculum of a university, a user may be a student, a professor, a lecturer, a faculty member, a graduate, and the like. At this time, the user information stored in the user database unit 120 includes personal information such as name, gender, address, identity (students, professors, faculty, graduates, etc.), access IDs and passwords, and authority to use the curriculum management system ( Permission to read, write, modify, delete, etc.).

The user interface manager 130 manages a user interface screen for the curriculum management system according to the present invention to receive information from or provide information to the user. Since the curriculum management system according to the present invention basically operates on a web basis, the user interface screen is produced and stored in the form of a web document. Since description related to the generation, transmission, data reception, and the like of the user interface screen is well known to those skilled in the art, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The education goal management unit 140 manages information on education goals for each department. The information on the educational objectives for each department includes detailed information such as educational objectives, educational objective management, academic field, curriculum, and degree of correspondence. 2A to 2E illustrate user interface screens for receiving or outputting detailed information constituting information on educational targets by departments. 2A to 2E, the educational target includes educational contents and educational ratios for each area to be completed in the corresponding department, and the educational target management includes detailed educational targets and educational ratios for each domain, It includes academic fields corresponding to the detailed educational goals of each area, and the curriculum includes the subjects belonging to the specific educational goals of each area. In this case, a plurality of subjects may be mapped to each detailed educational goal. In addition, when receiving each piece of information from the user, the goal managing unit 140 may selectively provide data previously input to the user through a user interface screen. The information on the educational target for each department is input to the system for each department, and the departmental education target management unit 140 receives information on the educational target for each department received from the user through the user interface screen provided by the user interface management unit 130. It is stored in its own storage means or separate storage means in connection with the unique code of the department. On the other hand, the degree of correspondence with the group consists of the sum of the number of target subjects and the oversufficiency of the unit.

The degree of matching according to the program is the ratio of the number of the target subjects and the actual number of the subjects set based on each detailed educational goal. The greater the degree of correspondence with the organization, the less or more the organization is. The degree of correspondence and the degree calculated by the educational goal management unit 140 is used as a criterion in the curriculum organization unit 150 in organizing the curriculum.

The curriculum organization unit 150 checks whether the curriculum information inputted by each department or each professor to organize or modify the curriculum satisfies a preset curriculum standard, and then organizes the curriculum. The curriculum standards may include the degree of conformity with the curriculum, the number of curriculum, the number of required courses, and the degree of interrelationship. 3 shows an example of a user interface screen for establishing a course. Referring to FIG. 3, a department or professor selects a student number corresponding to a course to be established by clicking a student number registration button. At this time, the student number should be unique and it is desirable to force allocation in the system to avoid duplicate assignment. Next, when the department or professor clicks on the field search button, the curriculum organization unit 150 outputs the study classification system stored in the study classification database unit 110 to the user. At this time, the curriculum organization unit 150 outputs the academic classification system in order of major classification, middle classification, small classification, and subclassification according to the user's sequential selection, and assigns the academic classification code corresponding to the subclass finally selected by the user to the corresponding course. Next, the user inputs the necessary items such as course title, completion class, credit, theoretical time, practice time, opening semester, creation date, abolition date, lecture conversion classification, and relative evaluation type, and inputs the remaining optional items.

When the information input process by the user is completed as described above, the curriculum organization unit 150 approves the organization of the corresponding subject when the information input by the user meets the preset course standard. However, if the information input by the user does not meet the predetermined curriculum standards, the curriculum organizer 150 rejects the curriculum and outputs the reason to the user. The most important criterion in the curriculum formation process is the degree of correlation. 4 shows an example of a correlation diagram. Interrelationships are based on the number of disciplines that overlap between majors. Referring to FIG. 4, among the 25 courses offered in economics, management and 7 courses, Korean history and 1 course, and sociology and 2 courses overlap. Thus, the overlap between economics and business is 28%. If the curriculum of the degree of redundancy is set to 30% and the new curriculum to be opened by the economics department overlaps with the management department based on the academic classification system, the degree of overlap with the management department will exceed 30%. Therefore, the curriculum organization unit 150 rejects the organization of the subject and outputs the excess of the degree of overlap with the management department to the user.

On the other hand, a combination of courses may be denied on the basis of the degree of conformity with the courses, the number of courses, and the number of required courses. However, these standards are mainly applied according to the situation of the entire course of the department rather than in the formation of individual courses. In other words, if the number of required courses is set to 1/3 or less of the courses offered in the relevant department, the curriculum organizer 150 will not open the corresponding courses if the required number of courses exceeds the standard for the required courses. Reject. On the other hand, in relation to the degree of organizational matching, the curriculum organization unit 150 continuously monitors the opening status of the subjects corresponding to the detailed educational objectives of the corresponding departments, and sets criteria for establishing the degree of matching of the corresponding subjects (eg, 30). Manage whether or not to meet%). If the curriculum matching degree of the subject exceeds the set criteria, the curriculum organization unit 150 refuses to open the curriculum and outputs the reason.

The related system matching unit 160 provides an information exchange path between the curriculum management system according to the present invention and another system (for example, a human resource management system, a research achievement management system, etc.). At this time, the related task matching unit 160 manages the professor's major field in accordance with the academic classification system, and the use of such an academic classification system is performed in the research achievement management system.

The data conversion unit 170 performs a function of converting a course code previously managed by a university into an academic classification system or adding an academic classification system to a course code. The code conversion operation or the code addition operation by the data conversion unit 170 varies depending on the setting state, but adding the academic classification system corresponding to the existing course code is disadvantageous in terms of storage capacity, but in terms of utilization of data. It is more preferable at the point that utilization is high. To this end, the data conversion unit 170 holds mapping information of the university-specific course code and the academic classification system.

As described above, the curriculum management system according to the present invention uses a standardized academic classification system to perform curriculum management that guarantees consistency and compatibility in that the curriculum can be opened or modified. Has In addition, the curriculum management system according to the present invention can be integrated with the academic management system to perform functions such as creating various statistics, reading a certificate, and registering for a course.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of performing a preferred embodiment of the curriculum management method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the education goal management unit 140 receives information on an education goal for each department including detailed information such as education goal, education goal management, academic field, curriculum, and degree of correspondence from a department or professor. In association with the code and stored in the storage means (S500). Next, if there is a request for opening a new subject from the user, the curriculum organization unit 150 receives information on the new subject from the user through a user interface screen for opening the subject (S510). Next, the curriculum organization unit 150 calculates the degree of redundancy with other departments based on the academic field among information on the curriculum received from the user (S520). If the degree of redundancy with other departments exceeds the preset reference value when the course is opened (S530), the curriculum organizer 150 refuses to open the corresponding course (S540). On the other hand, if the degree of overlap with other subjects is less than the preset value when the course is opened, the curriculum organizer 150 satisfies the criteria for establishing other courses such as the degree of conformity and the number of required courses and the number of required courses. Check (S550). If it meets the criteria for opening other courses, the curriculum organization unit 150 approves the organization of the corresponding courses (S560). On the contrary, if it does not meet the criteria for opening other courses, the curriculum organizing unit 150 performs step S540 and refuses to open the corresponding course and outputs the reason.

The present invention can also be embodied as computer-readable codes on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission via the Internet) . The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above, and the present invention belongs to the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the claims. Various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art, and such changes are within the scope of the claims.
