고등교육 책무성에 대한 대학 기능유형별 차이: 교수의 인식 분석을 중심으로

초록

The importance of higher education accountability has been increasing with rapidly changing educational environment. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of empirical research to examine higher education accountability. In this vein, the purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which faculty members who are in a critical position of the stakeholders in relation to higher education policy perceive higher education accountability and what kind of factors affect their perceptions. The result of the current study shows that faculty members’perceptions on the level of higher education accountability are different from higher education institutions’functional types. In addition, this study found that the different types of higher education institutions positively affect the effectiveness of higher education policy to strengthen their accountability. The finding of this study suggests that the different perception of the faculty members on higher education accountability need to have an openly debating opportunity as well as an official rule leading to a consensus. Namely, the result of the study implies that prior coordinating and tuning the different perceptions of the stakeholders will be helpful for building an accurate and concrete discussion making needed to strengthen higher education accountability and for driving the balanced future direction.
