Predicting T&I Students’ Performance through Aptitude Testing

국문 초록 (Abstract)

21세기 세계화가 진행되면서 국가간, 문화간 교류의 필요성이 증대되었다. 엄청난 인적 교류, 정부 및 B2B 교류가 확대되면서 양질의 통번역사 수요도 함께 증가하였다. 이에 따라 1990년대 이후 통번역 교육과정을 제공하는 학부 및 대학원의 수도 급증하였다. 이러한 변화로 인하여 통번역 교육기관의 신입생 모집 및 졸업생의 취업 부문의 경쟁이 심화되었다. 통번역 교육프로그램 및 기관의 증가는 특히 아시아 지역에서 두드려졌다. 예컨대 2008년 현재 한국에서 통번역 프로그램을 제공하는 학부 및 대학원의 수는 각각 50개와 11개에 달한다.
이러한 맥락에서 역량을 갖춘 학생 모집에서 입학시험의 사전 가치(predictive value)는 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 입시의 유효성 및 신뢰성 확보는 몬트레이 통번역대학원(MIIS)에서 주요 관심사이다. 본교의 한국어 교원으로써 필자는 현재 입시의 예측 가치와 관련하여 입시와 입학 후 학생의 성과가 반드시 일치하지 않는다는 경험 하에 예측 유효성과 신뢰도 관점에서 MIIS 학생의 입학 후 성과와 기존의 통번역 적성 시험의 상관관계를 검토하고자 한다.
