Purpose : This research was practiced for provide a mental data an organization educational courses after analyzing optician’s satisfactory degree, relevance of duty and necessity of extension about major subjects at region of major educational courses of Ophthalmic Optics in the subjects of optician’s who working in the optical shop.
Methods : By making up questionnaire of 220 person who had under 5year experience in working in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do and Jeolla-do, and selecting 193 person except 27 person who answered the questionnaires insincerely. And the major educational courses were classified into six regions: Ophthalmic Optics, Ophthalmology, Optical Dispensing & Fitting(Optical Dispensing, Optical fitting), Optometry(Refraction, Eye Examination, Binocular Vision), Contact lens and Ocular Optics Materials. We made use of the pattern Likert fivestep index, and the collected data were inspected in ttest and Anova. Post verification was practiced in analyzing then in the method Scheff`e.
Results : The satisfactory degree in 6 theoretical courses showed similar except Ophthalmic Optics, and the 3 practice courses(Optical Dispensing & Fitting, Optometry, Contact lens) got similar marks. Also it appeared that they were more satisfied with theoretical lessons than practical lessons in that the theoretical subjects got higher marks than the practical subjects. And the relevance of duty which optician’s felt about major educational courses was higher more in the both theoretical and practical courses than in the only theoretical courses in the 6 theoretical courses. The 3 practical courses got 4.45 higher than the absolute mark(3). While necessity of extension about major educational courses showed that the marks of Optical Dispensing & Fitting, Optometry in the 6 theoretical courses only were higher than the absolute mark(3), those of the 3 practical courses were more than 4. The mark of Optometry was the highest of those of 3 practical courses, and the Refraction is the highest in the subject of Optometry.
Conclusions : Opticians recognize that the theoretical and practical subjects of Optical Dispensing & Fitting and Optometry in the major educational courses must be extension, and they especially recognized necessity of extension of practical subjects in Refraction.
