Purpose: To improve and guide the education policy for optician through a study about awareness of major in students from Dept. of Optometry.
Methods: To define awareness of major in students from Dept. of Optometry, a survey was conducted by 91 male and 65 female students (50 freshmen, 48 sophomores, and 58 juniors). For the data analysis SPSS 18.0 was used and set the significant level as p<0.05 statistically.
Results: The major awareness was evaluated with 4 sub-items, i.e. the awareness of satisfaction on curriculum, practical contents, society, and education courses. The results showed 3.39±0.68, 3.26±0.65, 3.59±0.75, and 3.56±0.66, respectively. The social awareness item recorded the highest score and practical contents item recorded the lowest. In general, awareness of major in males, higher grade students and students having a good mark was higher than the one in females, lower grade and students having a bad mark. In students who considered their aptitude and interest before the entrance of University, it turned out that the score was higher.
Conclusions: It needs much efforts on developing professional confidence and strengthening the sense of belonging for the
students from the Dept. of Optometry, not only by industrial but also academic circles.
