본 연구는 A대학교 문과대학 학생들을 중심으로 독서역량과 전공독서 실태를 조사 분석하여 문제점을 파악, 개선방안을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. A대학교 문과대학에 재학 중인 1~4학년 남녀 학생 457명을 분석한 결과, 첫째 학과별 독서역량에 집단 간 어휘력과 독해력, 속독력에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 둘째 전공독서 실태에서는 전체 학과에서 독서를 하지 않는 학생이 66.9%에 달하고, 그 이유가 교재만으로 수업과 과제수행이 가능하기 때문이라는 응답(67.7%)이 많았다. 셋째 전체 전공독서량을 조사한 결과 82.1%가 15권미만이고, 11.3%가 1권 미만으로 나타났다. 일주일간의 전공독서시간이 5시간미만 68.9%, 10시간미만 13.9%로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이 같은 문제(독서역량 학과 간 편차, 전공독서 여부 및 독서량, 시간 등)를 토대로, 전공독서의 양과 질을 넓혀갈 수 있는 방안을 강구할 것을 제언한다.


This survey was conducted to investigate liberal arts college students' academic reading, to explore basic issues in their reading, and to provide how to improve their academic reading in their majors. The participants in this study were 457 students who enrolled in a college of liberal arts in a university. The study results represented as follows. Firstly, there were significant differences in vocabulary, reading comprehension, and fast-reading competence among student groups of different majors. Secondly, 66.9% of the students did not read widely in their major subjects throughout all departments. 67.7% of the students with low reading performance responded that they could complete college courses only with course textbook reading, course participation, and requirement submission. Thirdly, regarding the number of major subject books that the participants read, 82.1% of the students read less than 15 books, while 11.3% read less than a book. The students' academic reading hours during per week were less than 5 hours for 68.9% students and less than 10 hours for 13.9% respectively. Based on the results (departmental differences in reading competence, wide reading in major subject books, and liberal arts students' reading hours), liberal arts colleges need to design programs to guarantee quality and quantity in reading major subject books.
